Sherry FitzGerald is delighted to present “Somerville” to the market. Rarely do such impressive, detached, family homes come to the market on what is considered one of Dublin’s premier residential roads.

Located just off Rostrevor Road, a mature and quiet cul-de-sac off Orwell Road, the property provides 239 sq. m. /2,573 sq. ft. (approx.) of wonderfully bright, elegant, and tastefully presented accommodation, making it a truly magnificent family home in one of Dublin’s most sought after and convenient locations.

Having changed hands only once before, this 1970’s built home will appeal to many discerning purchasers looking for a family home for life. With spacious, well appointed accommodation throughout, the property provides an impressive duel aspect drawing room with double doors to the patio overlooking the sunny rear garden, cosy living room with open fireplace which connects with the fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room overlooking the garden. There is a utility room that leads to a covered passageway with the Guest WC, garage, study and playroom completing the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs there are 4 good-sized bedrooms and a large family bathroom.

The private rear garden is a real feature of this fine family home. It is walled, largely in lawn, and bordered by flowerbeds and planting with an abundance of mature bushes, plants and trees. Accessed from the house, there is a large decked patio, ideal for al fresco dining and BBQs. There is also a shed for storage.

The property is very nicely positioned in a quite cul-de-sac and well set back from the road with a landscaped front garden with mature shrubs and trees and a nice patio area. The driveway provides generous off-street parking for numerous cars.

Superbly positioned on this much-loved cul-de-sac, yet remarkably this seclusion and charm is within an easy stroll of Rathgar, Ranelagh and Terenure villages also within easy reach of Rathmines town centre and approximately 3 miles from St. Stephen’s Green. There are excellent senior schools nearby including High School, St Mary’s College, Gonzaga, Sandford Park, Muckross College, Alexandra College and Stratford College. Junior schools include Kildare Place School, Zion and Rathgar National, Stratford College and St. Mary’s Rathmines.
Viewing is highly recommended.
