While in need of modernisation, this 1960s era two-storey detached house offers tremendous potential to create an outstanding 21st century home in a prime South Dublin location within easy reach of both Blackrock and Stillorgan village centres.
Positioned at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac and commanding panoramic first floor views over Dublin Bay, Rushlee forms part of a mature and leafy residential development a short walk from local neighbourhood shops. It is also within easy reach of the many shops, boutiques, pubs, restaurants, artisan cafes and other amenities that make Blackrock and Stillorgan such sought-after addresses.
Even without including a conservatory to the rear of the house and a garage and other outbuildings to the side, the total floor area of the property still exceeds 1,500 square feet.
Existing ground floor accommodation comprises a spacious entrance hall, an exceptionally large open plan living/dining room, a kitchen with pantry off and (not included in the core floor area) a conservatory adjoining the dining room. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, two of them larger than average and those at the front with those Dublin Bay views. A landing and a family bathroom complete the upper floor.
While all this adds up to a significantly bigger floor area than the average four-bed Dublin new build, the existing accommodation is only half story. Dating from an era when new homes were built on much larger sites than now, the property has an exceptionally large footprint that comfortably exceeds one-tenth of an acre.
This generous plot size is most obvious to the rear of the property, where a long back garden offers plenty of scope (subject to planning) to extend out to the rear. In addition to this, there is also a garage and series of outbuildings to the side of the property that offer further potential to convert and/or extend.
LOCATION
The property enjoys a prime location in a mature and much sought-after South Dublin address off Newtownpark Avenue, close to a wide range of shops, stores, boutiques, cafés, pubs, restaurants, services and amenities in nearby Blackrock and Stillorgan village centres – both just over 2km away.
