Upgraded family semi in sought-after suburb

Booterstown €700,000: Upgraded family semi in sought-after suburb.

A tastefully upgraded three-bedroom semi in a sought-after southside suburb is guiding €700,000 prior to auction on December 1st with Lisney.

Number 30 Trimleston Gardens, Booterstown, Co Dublin is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac overlooking a small green just off the Rock Road. It is within walking distance of Booterstown DART station, a number of bus routes into town along the Rock Road and is close to the QBC on the Stillorgan Road.

Extending to 128 sq m (1,380 sq ft), the property is in walk-in condition while also offering the potential to extend up into the floored attic (with the possibility of views over Dublin Bay) or to the rear, subject to planning permission.

Downstairs, the accommodation consists of two good-sized reception rooms, both of which are dominated by large cast-iron fireplaces fitted with coal-effect fires. One of these rooms has French doors to the rear garden.

The kitchen, situated in what was the garage, is dual aspect taking the sun from the east in the morning and brightened by a south-west aspect for later on in the day. This room has attractive fitted units and appliances while pride of place goes to a gas-fired Stanley range. Off the kitchen is a small utility room and the downstairs accommodation is completed by a cloakroom with toilet.

Up the stairs are three bedrooms; two are doubles with long banks of fitted wardrobes while the third is a good-sized single. The family bathroom, again a nice size, is also at this level.

Outside to the front is a well-kept garden with one car-parking space, and this has side access to the 35ft long east-facing back garden which is mainly in lawn with a Barna shed.

The colour scheme throughout this 1950s-built home is neutral and the flooring is a mix of tiles and new carpets. There is gas-fired central heating and double glazing throughout.

Booterstown is best-known for a wide selection of schools. UCD's Belfield campus is just up the road and retail facilities are to hand in Merrion and Blackrock shopping centres. The city centre is around 3.5 miles away and there are lots of local leisure amenities.
