Rathfarnham family home seeking €1.95 million is within striking distance of D6W schools, shopping centre, Bushy Park Saturday food market and the Dodder linear park.
A house on a corner site in a gated, Edwardian-style square that was built in 2001 by Cosgrave Developments has grown into its leafy suburban surroundings.
The five-bedroom, three-bathroom Edwardian-style property has been aggrandised by its owners to deliver a contemporary extension to the back, and 295 square metres of family home.
Address: 46 Charleville Square, Rathfarnham, Dublin 14, D14 R710
Asking price: €1.95 million
Agent: Mullery O’Gara
Its location is first-rate. It is in the catchment area of many top-tier primary and secondary schools, all of which are within walking or short cycle distances.
Rathfarnham shopping centre, anchored by a Tesco superstore, is similarly adjacent, and so is the Dodder linear park, where nature photographers can be seen at first and last light, capturing the wildlife.
Food fans will love being able to browse the stalls at the Saturday market in Bushy Park.
The double-fronted house is set in an arc and has a red brick and render exterior that echoes much of the surrounding housing stock.
Its porch is floored in quarry-style tiling.
Inside, it opens into a large, double-height hall where a staircase with Charles Rennie Mackintosh-style black balustrades ascends to the accommodation.
Throughout, there are elegant proportions, the kind you usually associate with period properties.
There are reception rooms to the right and left, accessed via double doors, along with a sizeable cloakroom and guest w.c.
Ahead is the large and open-plan kitchen cum family room.
Much of its cabinetry all sits flush with the walls, while a large island anchors the space.
Concealed behind a series of doors are a pantry, a home office, which enjoys round window views of the garden, and oodles of storage.
It allows you to have a very well-stocked space, without any clutter.
There’s a lovely flow through the room moving from the kitchen to the dining area and on to the family room, where sofas and upholstered chairs overlook the garden.
The relaxed room features lots of wood that brings a warmth to the painted in-frame timber kitchen and the Scandi-inspired soft greys and off-whites used on walls and woodwork.
Bounded by high hedging, the garden wraps around the house and is ultra private.
With mature trees and much of it set out in lawn, it has a tree house, a putting green and a patio that makes the most of the south-west facing aspect.
Upstairs, there are five good-sized bedrooms, three of which have ensuite bathrooms.
All have built-in wardrobes.
The principal bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe.
