Welcome to Chalain, a spacious detached home on a generous and sunny 1/4 acre plot. This property was bought new off-plan in 1989 by the current owners. It has been the perfect home for raising their family, and entertaining their grandchildren. The time has come for a new owner to appreciate the joys of this delightful property as they move to somewhere more suited to their needs. With their French connections they have loved the sunny aspect and generous conservatory.To ensure proper spacing of viewings, Casey-Kennedy Estate Agents in association with international agents Coldwell Banker request that viewers register in advance by email. We will contact you to schedule an exact viewing time within the advertised time range.This property is marketed using a video and additional photographs showing rooms which have been virtually staged using AI. NB: The rooms themselves have not been changed - just the furnishings. The virtually staged photos are clearly annotated and shown immediately after the original images, so you can clearly see the differences.This property is in an elevated position set well back from the road. It has recessed cast iron electric gates opening to a curved driveway with space for multiple cars. A neat and colourful front lawn with attractive planting greets you as you approach the front door. It also creates a lovely perspective out the large bow window from the main reception room.One of the joys of this home is the large westerly facing side garden privately secluded behind inner electric wooden gates. This has parking for two additional cars and a lovely sunny paved patio surrounded by mature lavender plants, just as you might expect in the south of France.The southwesterly facing back garden and conservatory are flooded with sunshine from 10am to dusk - making this a very bright home, with plenty of solar gain. The children's play area with slide, swing and see-saw are included in the sale. A block-built shed with pitched roof and window could be converted into a playhouse or artist's studio.The generously proportioned accommodation comprises an entrance porch opening to a hall with staircase, to the right of which is a playroom / study overlooking the front garden. To the right of the hall are interconnecting main reception rooms stretching 12.7m from front to back with a bow window to the front and French doors opening to a large conservatory to the back. A second set of French doors leads back into the country-style painted-wood kitchen. The adjacent utility room has a back door opening to the side garden. Off the hall is a guest WC and an under-stairs storage room containing the condensing gas boiler.This deceptively spacious home benefits from five good-sized bedrooms on the first floor, all with spacious fitted wardrobes. The two beautifully proportioned front bedrooms each have dual windows creating a welcoming sense of space. Looking out you can admire the front garden. The main bedroom has a well-appointed en-suite shower room. A family bathroom and a large hot press completes the first-floor accommodation. From the first floor landing, the staircase continues up to three attic rooms providing an abundance of additional space.Chalain has been well tended and maintained over the years. The heating system was upgraded and the cavity walls pumped with insulation. This has given it a respectable B3 BER rating - qualifying it for the lower rate green mortgages.The 285 sq.m floor area includes 52 sq.m in attic rooms and a 23 sq.m. conservatory. These are both original to the house. They are very usable spaces. The attic has a current max ceiling height of 2.27m and is not currently considered habitable space. However the roof apex height is close to 3.1m giving plenty of height for a potentially habitable attic conversion (S.P.P.).There is a great range of highly regarded schools nearby including Lycée Français International, St. Killian's German School, Our Lady's Grove primary and secondary schools, Gaelscoil Laighean, Goatstown Educate Together primary school, Mount Anville primary and secondary schools and The Islamic Cultural Centre hosts the NurulHuda Quranic School and Muslim National School. Within easy cycling distance you have Scoil San Treasa, Coláiste Íosagáin, Coláiste Eoin, and Oatlands College.For a studious family (or those interested in sports scholarships), a walkway leads directly into UCD through a wicket gate, opposite the turn to Harlech Grove, less than 100 yards from the gate.At the top of Mount Anville hill, 15 minutes walk away, is the delightful Deerpark Park with well-equipped playgrounds, tennis courts, playing fields and walks with expansive views over Dublin Bay.The area is served by the number 11 and S6 bus routes.Early viewing is highly recommended.
