Description

Janet Carroll is delighted to be offering this magnificently extended detached residence measuring c. 2540sqft/236sqm (excluding garage) in the sought-after St. Helen's Wood for sale by Private Treaty. Rarely does such a special home, so well located, come on the market. Situated on a superb sheltered site with a detached double garage (c. 323sqft/30sqm) and a beautiful South West facing private rear garden.

Built over 25 years ago, this home has been very well maintained and is in turnkey condition throughout. A deceptively large house, with five double bedrooms, that will cater for families on a practical level, without compromising on location or styling in a leafy family-friendly development. The interior is finished with a contemporary, high quality touch, adding warmth to this beautiful home.

Booterstown has cemented its status as a premier location to live in. This property has the benefit of being positioned on a corner site, in a secluded cul-de-sac in St. Helens Wood. It has that delightful sense of seclusion and quiet whilst still being in wonderful proximity to all the amenities and transport links to the city. Just a short stroll to Blackrock College, St. Andrew's International School, UCD, local primary schools, Blackrock Clinic and Blackrock Village. Stillorgan Centre and Dundrum Town Centre are only a brief drive away. Surrounded by all the amenities one would desire including an excellent choice of schools, a wide variety of sporting facilities, boutiques, shops and eateries in Blackrock, Mount Merrion and Stillorgan.

This home is superb on all fronts and cannot fail to impress. Viewing is highly recommended.
