Seldom does a very special, substantial four bedroom detached home located in such a superb location come to the open market.

Internally, the property is need of modernisation and provides a blank canvas, offering any discerning purchaser the perfect opportunity to create a truly magnificent trophy home in the Dublin 9 area.
Lisieux was built in 1949, and what makes this one special, apart from its enviable location is that it has been a very happy family home through the decades, with its current owners having the property for the last 52 years.
Retaining most of the original features, this home is representative of a golden age of building from a time long forgotten and walking through the front door feels like stepping into a wonderful time capsule. Packed with interesting features and curiosities, Leisieux retains many of its original features, from the geometric mantelpieces to the architrave plinth and coving, making wonderful additions from a bygone era that will stand out from most of the neighbouring properties.
Through the entrance gates a long driveway leads you up to this mainly red brick dual aspect residence, with beautiful arch adorning the entrance door. On entering the home, first impressions soar with an imposing dramatic entrance hallway with great ceiling height.  Either side of the hallway there are not only two but three reception rooms all are an exceptional size and two that feature an open fireplace. All three reception rooms have excellent ceiling height and original coving. Off the hallway there is a kitchen and dining space that captures the magnificent substantial lawned rear garden. A separate pantry and utility room is located beside the kitchen, a great addition to any family home. A downstairs W.C completes the ground floor space.
Upstairs there are three large double bedrooms and a single room that is currently being used as an office. There is a large bathroom suite with a bath, completing the upstairs accommodation.
Outside the private garden is simply stunning with a generation of meticulously planned and perfectly cultivated shrubs, plants and trees creating an oasis of natural beauty of this 70 ft south east facing garden. The rear garden can be accessed via two side entrance with a large garage to the side of the property that could be converted or that would cater for all your storage needs.
