This wonderful family home was loved for almost half a century by the current owners and is now in need of a new lease of life for the next 50.

The mature gardens that surround this property are lush with thoughtfully planted trees and shrubbery of myriad hues, not to mention the towering pine trees that inspired the name of this peaceful haven. The open garden to the front offers ample parking and stretches of lawn, one of which runs down the side of the property to the rear access gate and secondary parking, with garage and carport. An internal courtyard behind the garage can be accessed from the kitchen and sitting room. With a patio area, lawn and mature planting this is an ideal oasis for summer barbeques.

The wider estate, where songbirds and squirrels share the beauty of manicured gardens, stone arches and shady pergolas, is steeped in history, constructed around an early 20th century mansion where Senator Horace Plunkett hosted many of the poets, playwrights and politicians that shaped modern Ireland: W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, Roger Casement and, four days before he was assassinated, Michael Collins.
The location is superb, only a few minutes away from charming Foxrock village with its many amenities including bijou shops, boutiques and cafes, Foxrock Golf Club, Leopardstown Racecourse, Carrickmines Lawn Tennis Club and Westwood Fitness Club. There are many well regarded primary and secondary schools nearby, St Brigids NS, Hollypark NS and Loreto College Foxrock.
