Tucked away into Dysart Hill occupying a prime hillside position with spectacular views this truly is a special home.

Driving up to this home you know you are going to be in for a treat! Parking on the Tarmac drive you step out and take a breath to enjoy the views. Following the steps to the sheltered entrance a space that could easily become a small seating area.
In through the front door the main corridor offers access to all rooms. On the left is a small office and certainly an enviable place to work from. Mind you it could be a little distracting with views down onto the valley.
Back into the hall on up to the kitchen you start to appreciate the space and natural light that flows throughout this lovely property. Central to the home the open plan kitchen/breakfast room has all the facilities of a modern kitchen as you would expect with a central island to congregate around for those informal social occasions. The room has a natural, very cosy ambiance with its open fire.
The home owners added a large family room in recent years and it gives the home a very modern twist with its floor to ceiling glazing with sliding wooden door overlooking the southerly natural stone patio area. The woodburning stove makes an amazing room for entertaining in the winter and this continues into the dining area where you can enjoy formal dining with friends and family whilst still enjoying the large stone paved patio area for brunch or a relaxing glass of wine or two.

Families will appreciate the convenience of nearby schools, making education easily accessible including Ratheniska.

Energy Efficiency: With a B3 energy rating, this property is both environmentally friendly and cost-effective.

Portlaoise stands at a major crossroads (Dublin, Limerick, Cork) although construction in the 1990s of the M7 motorway, which bypasses the town, has reduced traffic congestion in the town centre. The town has a railway station served by intercity trains between Dublin and Cork and by Dublin commuter services. Córas Iompair Éireann opened a rail depot south-west of Portlaoise town centre in 2008. The depot provides a high quality maintenance and servicing facility for the 183 new intercity railcars and some facilities for outer suburban railcars serving the Kildare Route.
