Birnam, Adelaide Road Upper, Glenageary, Co.Dublin www.huntersestateagent.ie
For Sale by Private Treaty Hunters Estate Agent is delighted to present to the market Birnam, a delightful four bed family home with stunning secret walled garden of circa 0.12acre. Birnam is an excellently appointed c. 201sq.m/2,172sq. ft, semi-detached family home which was refurbished lovingly by the owner to an exacting standard. Discreetly secluded behind electric gates with ample parking surrounded by mature hedging providing an exquisite approach to the property. Throughout the property attention to detail and superb design abounds a product of the owners love and enthusiasm for the property and their architects good eye. The clever design engenders a wonderful quality of light and the layout is wonderfully flexible allowing for open plan living combined with the ability to close off and create cosy private spaces. Houses of this quality in Glenageary come up so rarely and when combined with the wonderful secret garden this home is a real must see. Upon entering one is greeted by a bright hall with solid wood floor leading through to a light filled open plan Kitchen/dining room room with attractive built in units and a large island. There is a fabulous and rather on trend separate pantry which will be the envy of any serious chef. To the right there is a well appointed formal drawing room which opens via attractive folding panelled doors to the family room with its attractive built-in units looking out to the rear. To the left is a useful office/playroom with tons of built-in storage (the owner cleverly ensured each of her children had their own locker for schoolbags and shoes). The well equipped utility room is also a real boon allowing the reality of family life to be hidden away! A well equipped and panelled guest w.c. completes the ground floor accommodation. Rising to the first floor landing one finds an elegant master bedroom which links to a bespoke hand crafted dressing room. At this level there are a further two generous double bedrooms, both with the benefit of bespoke built-in storage. Completing this floor there is the elegantly finished bathroom with attractive vanity unit, vaulted ceiling and jacuzzi bath. On the top floor of the house there is a very spacious bedroom with wonderful sloping eaves reminiscent of a Parisian garret with ensuite overlooking the tree tops of the surrounding area. Outside to the rear lies a sunny and private west-facing back garden accessed by a range of sliding doors from the kitchen or drawing room and laid out in planted beds and artificial grass. A winding tiled pathway bounded by a range of carefully selected plants and covered with arching pergolas leads to the impressive secret walled garden laid out in lawn and mature planted beds with specimen trees and manicured shrubs, perfect for children yet within hearing distance of the house. There is a large timber built shed located here that offers the potential to create a wonderful home office in this peaceful sylvan setting. To the front there is ample off- street car parking with the benefit of security gates.
