Description
Upon entering this home over its limestone threshold, you step inside a large reception hall with original monkey tail stairs and a reconditioned antique Scandinavian cast iron chimney stove.
To the right is a beautiful dual aspect living room with feature bow window to the front with sliding sash windows and French doors opening to the garden and patio. Original white marble fire surround. Further along is a study, also enjoying a dual aspect and access to the garden, with built-in units and book shelving by Glenline.
To the rear is a bright open plan kitchen and living space with a bespoke solid wood hand painted kitchen by Glenline with quartz worktops and a large feature centre island and a separate pantry access through pocket doors. This space is open plan to a dining area and snug. The dining area features a large roof light and two sets of French doors leading to the garden. A boot room is tucked away again with access outside.
Upstairs are four double bedrooms with the principal room enjoying a dual aspect with feature bow window to the front with views over the river, and a dressing room and ensuite off. Bedroom two is en-suite while bedrooms three and four feature a secret passage hidden behind two built-in bookcases linking both rooms, both featuring original fireplaces and sharing the family bathroom.
Riverside has been sensitively restored using traditional materials to include lime plaster, refurbished sliding sash windows to the front and a natural slate roof, while combining modern features like zoned air to water heating (underfloor throughout the ground floor), all new electrics, double glazed windows & doors to the rear, quality fitted kitchen and bathrooms, just to name a few.
Outside are private gardens to the front screened by a mature Portuguese laurel hedge from the road with electronic gates. The drive is gravelled leading to a parking area with a lawn to one side. The rear garden is south facing and extremely private with a paved limestone walkway that meanders through the garden. There is a spacious porcelain tiled patio, enjoying the sun throughout the day. The gardens are lawned and sensitively planted with an array of mature trees and shrubs to include Magnolia, acer, cherry blossom, cornus and raised herb & vegetable beds. There is vehicular access to the rear and private parking through the electric gate that leads to a stone built mews building (currently used for storage) that could convert into a self-contained unit should someone want to explore this option.
All amenities for comfortable family living are close by. There are a number of good primary and secondary schools along with public transport links to the city centre.
For those looking to avail of a more leisurely lifestyle, the proximity to the rejuvenated Blackrock Village, the Atlantic Pond, Blackrock Marina, Blackrock Railway Greenway and Castle walk will be a welcome treat. There is also easy access to two boat clubs should any member of the family wish to take up rowing.
