Set in a mature and much sought after residential development, this exceptionally well-maintained family home is located just five minutes’ drive from Greystones town centre and a ten-minute walk from a modern neighbourhood shopping centre.
With a total floor area of just under 1,450 square feet, this property has a lot to offer in terms of generous and well-proportioned living space. This is especially evident in the kitchen-dining room, created by the current owners with well-executed remodelling works that removed a previously existing internal wall to create a large, light-filled open-plan family living space at the heart of the home.
This feeling of openness can be enhanced by opening up a set of double doors connecting the sitting room to the adjoining kitchen-dining room, so joining up all three spaces in an exceptionally large single open-plan space. The presence of a Stovax wood burning stove in the living room’s remodelled fireplace provides an effective heat source for all three rooms.
Further ground floor improvements can be found off the entrance hall, where a previously existing carport has been converted into a good-sized home office, overlooking the cobbled front drive. A guest bathroom and a laundry space complete the downstairs accommodation.
Upstairs are a landing, family bathroom and four generously sized bedrooms, including two with ensuite bathrooms, one of which was added by the current owners during upstairs remodelling and improvement works.
Number 128 Rathdown Park benefits from a host of features, including a high quality cherrywood fitted kitchen installed by Kitchen World, solid oak floors treated with Rubio oil downstairs, engineered oak laminate floors upstairs and bespoke handmade radiator covers to mention but a few. With all rooms recently repainted, the property is in pristine condition throughout, while a full re-insulation of all external walls has helped to bring the property up to a cosy C1 BER rating.
Outside, there are low maintenance gardens to the front and rear, with an immaculate front driveway providing generous off street parking. To the rear, the sunny, west-facing back garden is almost entirely laid out as a patio, ideal for barbecues, hosting families and friends, or simply sitting out in the sun. The back garden also features a wooden home office, wired for electricity and provided with its own WC.

Built in the early 1970s, Rathdown Park is a quiet and well-maintained residential development featuring mature trees, landscaped walkways and a succession of spacious amenity greens, which are maintained to a high standard by an active residents’ association.
Positioned just a few steps from one of these greens, Number 128 is a ten-minutes walk from the nearby Blacklion Retail Centre. This has a variety of shops and services including a Lidl supermarket, a pharmacy, a pizzeria, a restaurant, an arts and hobby shop, and GP and dental surgeries. The wider Greystones area is well served by additional local supermarkets, including a Tesco superstore, Aldi, Supervalu and Donnybrook Fair.
