This is a rare find , constructed in the 1920’s by Charles Archer who built eight other red brick homes on this much sought-after address just off Monkstown Road and a short stroll to Seapoint & Monkstown Dart station, located at the end of Alma Road.
Built in the Edwardian style, the house contains virtually all original features with beautifully proportioned rooms and higher ceilings and large windows. There is an architecture award winning extension to the side and rear further enhancing the space and style and opening directly to a truly outstanding private landscaped garden with some lovely specimen plants and trees. There is a further private patio outside the formal dining room.
The porch entrance, which has a lovely sea view, opens to the a beautifully spacious entrance hall with high ceilings, dado rails and original floorboards. There is also a large understairs store. The two principal reception rooms are interconnecting and with the sliding panel doors between both rooms, benefits from the dual aspect of both and east & west with all day long sunshine. Unusually, these rooms retain their matching mahogany fireplaces with tiled insets and brass canopies along with the original crittall french doors leading to the tiered patio and back garden.
The kitchen was extended a number of years ago and includes an Aga, separate oven and gas hob and opens to a dining area and on down a few steps to the vaulted family room to the rear with feature floor to ceiling window, which floods the area with light all day. This room has south facing double doors leading to a lower patio.
There is a lobby with shower room off and study or fourth bedroom with separate entrance to the front. Upstairs, there are three spacious bedrooms, a classic bathroom with original roll top and claw bath and separate WC. All bedrooms retain their original fireplaces, and picture rails.
Externally to the front there is off-street car parking with potential for two cars (subjecty to planning permission) and to the rear there is a substantial rear garden laid out in lawn measuring 20m x 10m with mature shrubs, trees and offering seclusion and privacy.
