Property Description:
The Park in Cabinteely is rightfully considered one of the best family friendly locations in Dublin. It offers a mix of 3 and 4 bedroom family homes with large green areas. Within the estate is a large park with what is probably the best children’s playground in Ireland. It also boasts a unique facility in “The Grain Store”, a popular teenager-focussed arts centre. In addition this estate features the highly-regarded St. Brigid’s National School, the exclusive Park Academy Creche and Montessori School, and a handy neighbourhood shopping centre containing a Tesco Express, medical centre, pharmacy, coffee shop, take-away and dry-cleaners. It’s just a short walk from Cornelscourt Shopping Centre and the N11 QBC. Easy access to the M50, the LUAS and the employment centres of Sandyford and Central Park.

1a Vale View Avenue is one of the largest houses in The Park. It was built in 1999 by the current owners on a corner site facing a large green. This home centres round an open-plan kitchen/dining room. The kitchen is beautifully finished with a marbled tile floor and cream painted solid wood units beautifully contrasting with the black granite work-tops. It comes equipped with a Rangemaster 110 stove with matching hood, Zanussi dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Solid oak flooring in the dining area, hall and sitting room create a natural flow through the house. The sitting room boasts a feature white marble fireplace with cast iron insert, black granite hearth and back-boiler. A large window overlooking the green takes full advantage of the open aspect. To the rear on the south facing corner of the house is a large sunroom with double-doors to the back patio. One of the most convenient features of this property is the side unit containing a 20m2 room with adjacent shower-room and kitchenette/study. With its independent access from the side garden, this would be ideal for an au-pair, rent-a-room income, home office, granny flat or playroom. The side passage has been covered in with a perspex roof to create a temporary storage and utility area.

Upstairs are four double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes. The ensuite master bedroom features a bright reading section with large south-west facing window and elevated pine ceiling with skylight. The large landing provides adequate space for attic stairs to take full advantage of the two attic storage rooms (currently accessed via a staire style attic ladder).

The private SW facing back garden is well sheltered from public view by a tall evergreen hedge, part of which has been recently replaced with a less intrusive fence. It contains a well finished block built shed with WC and independent power supply which would make a fabulous playhouse, teenager hangout or study/office room. In the deceptively large cobble-locked front and side gardens there is parking space for up to 3 cars. The current owners used the side garden space to park a motor home. Alternatively this could be fenced off and seeded, providing additional lawn space.
