Boasting generous living spaces, an abundance of natural light and plenty of charm, this 1930s architectural gem is a rare find in the heart of Blackrock.

An expansive home situated in the affluent suburb of Blackrock, you’ll find this property located on Avoca Avenue. Standing proud on a magnificent garden of approximately 0.9 acres, the home is designed in the style of the Modern Movement dating back to circa 1934.

Stylish while still functional, the accommodation extends to approximately 380 sqm and includes an entrance porch and hall, sitting room, drawing room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, lobby, utility room, six bedrooms and three bathrooms. Fitted carpets, curtains and kitchen appliances are all included in the sale.

Oak parquet flooring in the entrance porch sets the tone for what’s to come. The sitting and drawing rooms both have ceiling coving along with two large windows which flood the space with natural light. French doors connect the latter with the dining room where there is a fireplace with limestone surround. Glass doors open out to the south-facing terrace area overlooking the garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room has a good range of fitted floor-level units, along with tiled worktops, a central island with a Gaggenau ceramic hob, a Neff stainless steel double oven, and an integrated fridge. The utility room has been plumbed for a washing machine and dryer.

A guest wc, cloakroom and bedroom with ensuite shower room complete the ground floor accommodation. Five further bedrooms along with the main family bathroom can be found on the first floor.

Situated in the heart of Blackrock, the property is conveniently located with any number of amenities nearby. Standing on just under an acre, there is potential for expansion or further development of the property, subject to planning permission.

Externally, the property is afforded privacy by a curtain of surrounding trees. The gardens are well-maintained and the sale also includes two garages and an outhouse. For sporting enthusiasts, there is also a hard tennis court – perfect for entertaining.

Other highlights include gas-fired central heating and a digital alarm system for added security.

Currently on the market for €4,500,000, the property is on sale through Lisney Sotheby’s International Realty Blackrock. Take a closer look inside this South Dublin home in our gallery below.
