Description
Coolgreen is an elegant, historic home, offering exceptional privacy and charm, with generous gardens totaling approx. 0.4 of an acre, close to the Luas and with easy access to the M50. Coolgreen comes to the market with a stunning interior totalling approx 254 Sq.m. abundant reception space and family sized bedrooms that all combine to captivate.
The design of Coolgreen is attributed to Richard Francis Caulfield Orpen (1863-1938), the architect synonymous with the Arts & Crafts style that heavily influenced the design of homes built in Foxrock and Carrickmines at the turn of the last century. In addition to its architectural significance, Coolgreen is a historic Irish home, built c.1900 for Sir Edward O'Farrell KCB (1857-1926), Estate Commissioner of Ireland.
Coolgreen has been recently and lovingly renovated by its present owners and retains a wealth of period features to include fine fireplaces, exposed beams, original joinery, bay windows with seating areas, making the most of the wonderful southerly aspect.
Additional features that the current owners have added are solid oak floors and period radiators from Victorian Salvage, custom woodwork, cabinetry and wardrobes by Newtown Woodworks, and a fine bespoke Newcastle Design kitchen. The property has also been completely re wired and re plumbed with a gas-fired central heating system. The property will suit a variety of discerning buyers with elegantly proportioned, light-filled and adaptable accommodation throughout and all positioned within walking distance of every local amenity.
Internally the property is warm and inviting with a wonderful balance of living and sleeping accommodation. The ground floor comprises of a generous and welcoming reception hall with gallery landing above. Three wonderful reception rooms, each with its own unique character, open off the hall - the spacious dual aspect drawing room with south facing bay, the cozy library / study with direct access to the garden and the warm stylish family room with south and west views over the gardens and the hills beyond. There is a large kitchen/dining room featuring a bespoke Newcastle Design kitchen with generous Island, a separate comms room, understairs storage and a well-appointed guest cloakroom which completes the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor we have a spacious gallery landing with Velux windows and a generous main family bathroom off the return: the attractive stained-glass door was once the main hall door of the house. The principal bedroom features a sun drenched south facing aspect and a bespoke ensuite shower room with built in wardrobes. There are three other generous bedrooms some with dual aspect and again featuring bespoke built-in wardrobes. a large laundry room is also at this level.
In addition, positioned off the large private and sunny patio / BBQ area accessed directly from the Kitchen / dining area is a spacious annex which has been beautifully constructed matching the architecture of the main house with a coastal-themed interior and cedar shingle walls and roof - currently used as a gym, but could suit a variety of uses including home office. There is also an additional garage / store to the front also designed to match the profiling and tiled roof and tile-clad walls of the main house.
The gardens are truly exceptional, totalling 0.4 of an acre, with the house positioned in the middle of the grounds allowing light to flood the home from every direction. To the front there are manicured flowerbeds featuring mature planting and specimen trees. There are also large mature pines and native trees. There are electric gates with cut stone pillars with terracotta caps leading to a generous gravel drive with cobble lock edging and ample off-street parking. There are wide side gardens which are very private and mature, To the east there are mature lawned grounds with well planted borders and a natural stone patio. To the rear, which is south facing, there are mature lawns and wonderful planted borders with a mix of raised and ground level beds.
To the south west, positioned off the Kitchen, there is a large natural stone patio, the spacious annex, a BBQ area and built in cut stone fireplace. ideal for long summer evenings. This side of the garden also features plenty of mature flowering plants, shrubs and trees.
Ideally located on leafy Brennanstown Road within a short stroll of Foxrock and Cabinteely villages and their trendy eateries, chic boutiques and popular coffee shops. The Park shopping plaza is nearby with a wide selection of shops and restaurants. Sporting and leisure facilities include, Carrickmines Golf Club, Carrickmines Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club, Leopardstown and Foxrock Golf clubs, Westwood and Leopardstown Racecourse, Cabinteely Park with its acres of parkland offer many recreational facilities including a large children's playground.
