2 St Andrews Grove Malahide, Malahide, Co. Dublin, K36CT80

St Andrews Grove is a quaint yet highly sought after cul-de-sac just off Church Road in the centre of Malahide within walking distance of the Village and all the amenities that have made the seaside town so popular. No 2 is adjacent to the park near the entrance and has been recently renovated and extended by the current owner. On offer is a beautifully presented 3 bedroom detached residence with a sunny south facing rear garden, off street parking and truly ‘turn key’ accommodation. Originally built in 1973 St Andrew’s Grove was constructed on land that was part of the Church of Ireland Rectory. The redbrick wall to the rear was part of the original orchard and remains to this day. Behind the red brick façade the property has been completely re-imagined and re-designed to create a wonderfully bright and well laid out family home which is ‘ready to go’. As you approach from the street there is obvious ‘curb appeal' with granite ‘cobble-lock’ driveway and extended storm porch at the entrance. Behind the front door, the interiors do not disappoint. The entire ground floor has been excavated and lowered to create greater ceiling height. There are large white porcelain tiles which allow the light to permeate through the timber framed ‘Vrogum’ double glazed widows and French doors from the south to the rear of the property. Downstairs all of the accommodation enjoys underfloor heating and comprises an impressive entrance hall with a double height ceiling, a living room to the front which has been extended and provides a peaceful space to read or entertain. The guest bathroom downstairs has been plumbed for a shower and could easily be used to create a guest suite off a bedroom downstairs if required with a doorframe within the dry wall between the two rooms. The kitchen which was originally to the front of the house has been relocated to the rear and is now the centre of an open plan living / kitchen / dining room which is really the heart of the home. Designed around a central island unit, each of the three spaces combine seamlessly whilst also being clearly defined. The quartz countertops and custom fit kitchen units (by Mooney Kitchens) are designed around integrated NEFF appliances and AGA cooker. There is large utility, plumbed for a washing machine and dryer with a spare fridge and lots of larder storage. The dining area is particularly pleasant with double doors and vaulted ceiling which create a serene atmosphere drenched in sunlight or sunshine depending on the time of year. Immediately outside there is a private patio surrounded by mature trees and shrubs, ideal for a morning coffee or dinning al fresco in the warmer months. Upstairs, there are three large bedrooms including the main bedroom which has an en-suite bathroom and large fitted wardrobe, the family bathroom and two other spacious double rooms, while the landing leaves enough space for a bookcase and reading room. Malahide is an endlessly charming village with an abundance of wonderful restaurants, boutiques and local shopping facilities on your doorstep. Just a short stroll will lead to excellent schools at St Andrews National School, St Oliver Plunkett National School and Malahide Community School. The gates to Malahide Castle are close by and the Dart Station only minutes away on foot. All in all the this is a wonderful home which will suit a broad cross section of prospective buyers given the quality of the finish and convenience of the location. If you have set your sights on living in Malahide than viewing No 2 St Andrew’s Grove is simply essential.
