A detached Donnybrook four-bedroom home whose living spaces turn towards its main feature, the private, south-west-facing garden and its birdlife.
Situated almost at the Greenfield Road intersection, the bow-fronted detached homes on this stretch of the Stillorgan Road are set well back from the road.
These roomy family homes are prized for their large plots and south-west-facing back gardens. Many have already been extended and have already incorporated their garages into their general footprints.
Address: Hadleigh, 137 Stillorgan Road, Donnybrook, Dublin 4, D04N6C9

Hadleigh, number 137, offers a lot of well-located space to prime buyers. It has been extended.
The C1 Ber-rated four-bedroom, three-bathroom property measures 218 square metres.
It is well laid out with three separate rooms at hall level. All are a good size.
At the front, enjoying the bow window, is a sitting room.
At the back of the house, there is a drawing room, a large rectangular-shaped room that opens directly out to the garden.
This is a key feature of the property.
Bounded by high hedges and boasting a south-west aspect it feels very private. All you hear out here is birdsong.
The room opens out to the patio with the rest of the exterior set out in lawn.
The drawing room also leads through to a light-filled living, dining cum kitchen, an extension added about 10 years ago.
With glazing on three sides framing the garden, this is where much of family life will take place.
It features living and dining areas and bends around in an L-shape to the kitchen.
Additional joinery could create a built-in dining area with bench seating and a media wall in the living area give a permanent home to the TV.
Upstairs, there are three large double bedrooms, a single, and the family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is at the back and has an ensuite bathroom.
This is a fine house, one that is really well located. Families whose kids are in education will love the fact that they can walk to primary, secondary, and even third-level institutions from the property.
They could even pop home for lunch.
There’s an entrance to UCD at the end of Greenfield Road with secondary schools St Teresian’s for girls and St Michael’s for boys, similarly short distances away.
The house also offers scope to expand its current footprint by going into the garage and possibly up a floor, also, subject to deep pockets.
