Positioned in a quiet enclave just off Glenageary Road Upper, Altadore is a tranquil development comprising of ten very attractive detached homes set against private rear gardens. The picture-perfect facade of No.2 is equally matched by its internal presentation. Having continuously updated and enhanced the property during their time here, the current owners have created the most appealing of homes which offers a generous mix of accommodation and all the elements required for modern family living, set against a low maintenance garden into which the afternoon and evening sun pours.

A portico leads to the hall door flanked by floor to ceiling glazing which allows natural light to permeate through the entrance hall with polished cherrywood floors. A guest w.c. is positioned off the hall, which also has under stair storage. While seeking to optimise the flow and space provided, the heart of the house was redesigned by removing a wall between two areas to create a spacious open plan kitchen/living/dining which looks out to the front from one end and gives access to the garden from the other. It is a lovely space for family gatherings and connects seamlessly via double doors to a cozy family room, which also connects to the elegant living/dining room that stretches the depth of the house and connects back to the entrance hall and garden. The excellent flow continues upstairs where there are four double bedrooms the principle of which is en-suite. There is also a very large family bathroom and a walk-in hot press at this level along with Stira access to the spacious attic.

To the front of the house, the thoughtfully planted borders are framed by box hedging and beautifully enhance the property’s façade. There is off street parking along with wide pedestrian side access to the rear garden which is both aesthetically pleasing and practical. A large patio area and an artificial lawn provides great space for outdoor entertaining and dining and raised beds are stocked with beautiful flowering plants. There is also fully insulated, fitted storage which houses the gas boiler and has electrical points. The garden also benefits from outdoor lighting, an awning and outdoor heat lamps – ensuring full use of the garden area.

The location is superb. Altadore is convenient to a host of local amenities, both social and essential and within close proximity to Dun Laoghaire, Glasthule, Dalkey and Killiney. It is surrounded by excellent schools, including Rathdown just across the road, shops, parks and sports clubs. The locality is well serviced by popular bus routes and Glenageary Dart station on Station Road is a short stroll away. The property is also within easy reach of the M50 motorway and access to all the major national routeways.
