With dark parquet floors, pale walls, a graphite grey kitchen, and blocks of inky green and blue, the combined colour palette and architectural accents of this family home will wow.
Number 72 Allen Park Road, Stillorgan, is a four-bedroom family home sitting on a leafy corner where Allen Park Road meets Merville Avenue.
This charming four-bedroom house started life as an A-shaped dormer bungalow but has been extended and updated over the years, giving it a good mix of original character and modern family space.

Granite steps lead up to the front door, housed within an architectural porch, which is a micro extension at the front, while the mature gardens and corner position give the property a lovely sense of privacy.
Inside, the entrance hall opens into a series of good-sized rooms, but it’s the large kitchen, dining and family area that is likely to become the main gathering spot.
The kitchen has marble worktops, plenty of hidden storage, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, while the adjoining dining and family areas make room for everything from busy family mornings to relaxed evenings.
Herringbone floors, feature fireplaces and views out to the garden add plenty of warmth.
There are four bedrooms, including a generous main bedroom with a full-height window overlooking the gardens and Allen Park Road. It is set above the front door in the micro-extension at the front.
The other three bedrooms are also good-sized doubles and come with built-in storage. One of the doubles is downstairs.
There’s a family bathroom upstairs, a guest WC, and a separate boot room and utility downstairs.
Another big plus is the full planning permission already in place for a roughly 50 sq m single-storey extension to the side.
The approved plans would create a much larger open-plan kitchen, dining and living space with lots of glass looking onto the garden.
Outside, the established gardens bring plenty of greenery and colour, while the driveway provides ample parking.
The location is another practical bonus, with Stillorgan Village and Shopping Centre, UCD, schools and transport links all nearby.
Mount Anville Primary School and Scoil San Treasa are around a 15-minute walk away, while Dundrum, Blackrock and Dublin city centre are all within easy reach.
Agents: Sherry FitzGerald Dundrum is asking €975,000 for the B3 BER-rated residence, which extends to 138 square metres.
