Coolbeg is quite simply one of the finest residences to come to the Dublin market in recent years.

This stunning detached property, which stands on 0.4 acres (approx.) was extensively extended and refurbished and extended to exacting standards in c. 2015 and now provides 553 sq. ft./5,950 sq. ft. (approx.) of stunningly elegant and superbly appointed accommodation in turnkey condition, in addition to a charming 65 sq. m./700 sq. ft. (approx.), 1 bedroomed guest lodge at the rear of the back garden.

The beautifully presented and wonderfully elegant light filled accommodation comprises; Entrance Porch, spacious Hallway, from which you access three of the very impressive and exceptionally elegant interconnecting reception rooms making the property the ideal choice for those who love to entertain in style. Another outstanding feature of the property is the magnificent light-filled open plan kitchen/living/dining area with its superb fully fitted kitchen, and large island, living area with solid fuel stove and informal dining area. Numerous sets of glazed French doors provide direct access to the large outdoor patio areas.

Also, at Hall Floor Level is a lovely quiet study/library as well as 3 guest cloakrooms, again ideal when entertaining, with excellent storage in the back hall in addition to 2 store rooms, utility room and plant room.

On the First Floor, there are 3 fine double bedrooms including the very impressive main bedroom suite, with its spacious bedroom, magnificent bathroom ensuite and impressive dressing room. The second bedroom has a bathroom ensuite. The third bedroom has a very well appointed bathroom beside it.

On the Second Floor are two further bedrooms, one of which is full of character with its pitched ceiling, exposed brick wall, shower room ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. Bedroom 5/Home office and a linen press are also at this level.

Outside to the front there is a particularly large and tastefully landscaped garden, which has retained the magnificent specimen Cedar trees and enjoys an extensive 140 ft. (approx.) frontage onto Shrewsbury Road. There is ample off-street parking for 6/8 cars on the feature cobbled parking apron. A timber gate provides access to the wide side passage, where you will find a large garden shed, which is ideal for secure bicycle and garden equipment storage.

To the rear of the property there is a lovely secluded triangular shaped back garden bordered by a row of mature trees. Accessed directly from the house is a large raised L-shaped paved patio taking full advantage of the afternoon and evening sunshine, making it ideal for al fresco dining. Steps from the patio lead to a lovely lawn overlooked by a sun house/garden store. Paving stones lead from the side passage and patio to the charming Guest Lodge at the rear.

Ballsbridge is a highly desirable Dublin suburb that extends northwards towards the Grand Canal, southwards towards Donnybrook, and westwards to encompass the area around Pembroke Road, Clyde Road, Elgin Road, and Herbert Park. The bulk of Dublin's embassies and many diplomatic residences are located in the southern part of Ballsbridge on and around Ailesbury Road. The RDS has its grounds here, and the Lansdowne Road headquarters of the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) is on the boundary between Ballsbridge and Irishtown. The corporate headquarters of Allied Irish Banks (AIB) are also located in Ballsbridge.
