Glengarriff, 24 Claremont Road, Sandymount, Dublin 4, D04 FH68, Ireland

Glengarriff, one of Sandymount's landmark homes, is without doubt one of the finest family homes to come to the market in Sandymount in recent years. It is an impressive, detached period home in the heart of Dublin 4 standing on extensive gardens of 0.3 acres approx. This utterly unique family home is ideally located only 250 meters from Sandymount Green and provides 321sqm / 3,450sqft (approx.) of elegant, beautifully appointed accommodation retaining its numerous period features including sash windows, period mantelpieces and ornate ceiling cornices making it the perfect choice for those seeking a family residence of considerable character and charm.

One enters the house up a short flight of original granite steps, through the original hall door with fanlight and into the impressive entrance hall which sets the tone for the quality of the accommodation to follow. Bright, nicely proportioned interconnecting reception rooms span the entire width of the property with four sash windows ensuring light floods in and featuring two matching marble fireplaces at either end and beautiful period detail. A less formal family room is located off the hall and opens to the terrace and garden. Steps from the hall lead to the open plan kitchen / breakfast / living area with an extensive selection of built-in wall and floor units and a Stanley range provides a cosy focal point. A utility room is located off the kitchen and a guest wc is located off the hall. Upstairs, on the return, there is a beautifully appointed family bathroom overlooking the garden and a large double bedroom. On the first floor, there are three further double bedrooms, one with ensuite. A fifth bedroom is currently being used as a study and completes the accommodation of this fine home.

The gardens are possibly one of the most unique in Sandymount and a real surprise - the rear garden extends to over 250ft and is laid out in lawn with flowering borders offering total seclusion that almost feels like you are in the countryside. A number of patio areas are positioned to catch the sun throughout the day and are ideal for al fresco dining. To the front, there is extensive off street car parking for several cars.

The property benefits from one of Dublin's most popular and convenient residential locations being within a pleasant stroll of an extensive choice of amenities including the excellent shops and restaurants of Sandymount village, Sandymount Strand and Sandymount DART station. The RDS and Aviva stadium are also close by as are some of the city's premier primary and secondary schools. The property is also within 15 minutes' drive of St. Stephens Green, the I.F.S.C and the airport is via the Dublin Port Tunnel.
