Aranmore: Luxury Victorian residence
A rare opportunity for the discerning buyer to acquire an exquisite two-storey, garden-level Victorian residence, located on one of South County Dublin's most sought-after and prestigious roads - Avoca Avenue.
This superb property embodies timeless elegance combined with contemporary luxury, offering a lifestyle of unrivalled comfort and sophistication as rarely seen on the market.
Benefiting from a most impressive frontage, Aranmore exudes curb appeal, being set well back behind an evergreen mature hedge embedded in a magnificent granite boundary wall, amidst its well-manicured gardens of approximately 0.4 acres offering total privacy and incredible outdoor space given its very central location.
Enter and you'll be greeted by an atmosphere of refined beauty and impeccable craftsmanship with an abundance of untouched period features combined with all modern conveniences having undergone a comprehensive extension and refurbishment program in 2008. The gracious and beautifully proportioned accommodation extends to approximately 4,424 sq.ft (411 sq.ms) offering ample living, entertaining and relaxation space for any growing family.
The light-filled accommodation offers the perfect blend of formal, informal and bedroom space. Entered via a flight of granite steps leading to a magnificent sheltered, columned portico porch that leads to a welcoming entrance hall with two gracious reception rooms on either side with splendid original fireplaces and sliding sash windows with shutters overlooking the grounds, a most impressive formal dining room with direct access to the rear garden and a large breakfast room again overlooking the lush, private rear gardens.
From here, access is gained to a very large extension which has its own separate entrance and currently comprises a sports room/office, a large utility room and a pretty lounge. This area is ideal for use as a separate independent guest apartment, staff accommodation or for commercial purposes subject to planning permission.
The property boasts five large double bedrooms, including a sumptuous master suite with large dressing room and bathroom. In addition, there is a comfortable family room on the garden level. There are two further full bathrooms as well as a guest toilet.
Outdoors, the meticulously landscaped grounds offer a private oasis for outdoor living. There's excellent off-street parking for numerous cars at the front, behind electric security gates, and a charming granite walled garden with extensive use of box hedges and raised granite beds. To the rear, the lush garden is mainly laid to lawn bordered by an abundance of beautiful shrubs, trees and specimen plants. There are charming sheltered patios ideal for alfresco dining.
Aranmore's location is unrivalled as it sits on Avoca Avenue, a popular area for families due to the wealth of amenities, natural beauty and excellent schools on its doorstep. Aranmore is within walking distance of the waterfront and the village of Blackrock with its many restaurants, stores, cafés and bars. The villages of Monkstown and Booterstown are also nearby. The property is extremely well served in terms of public transport with the Dart available in Blackrock and numerous bus routes available on both Rock Road and the N11.
The selection of renowned educational establishments in the surrounding area is second to none, being located close to Willow Park, Blackrock College, St. Andrew's, Booterstown National School, Carysfort National School, Muckross Park, St. Teresians, Dominican College Sion Hill and Colaiste Eoin and Iosagain to name but a few. The UCD Smurfit business campus is literally across the road, and UCD Belfield and Trintiy College are also within easy reach.
