Sherry FitzGerald is proud to present Merlin, a truly splendid detached Edwardian family home set in the most delightful secluded gardens in excess of half an acre in the heart of the leafy Burnaby Estate beside every amenity Greystones has to offer.

Tracing its history back to 1906 Merlin was built by Robert George Watson and has been the cherished family home of its current owners for almost half a century. Indeed this special home has had just one other owner within the past 96 years and just two more prior to that. The second of these was Dublin solicitor Edward FitzGerald (his clients included James Joyce and W.B. Yeats who were regular visitors to Merlin). His daughter Geraldine FitzGerald became a famous Hollywood actress in the 1930's.

This home has been lovingly maintained and whilst benefiting from upgrading retains all its lovely original features including high ceilings with decorative plasterwork in the main reception areas, eaved and pitched ceiling sections in the bedrooms, Period fireplaces throughout, pitch pine floor boards, original clay floor tiles in the kitchen area, architraves, timber work, the quaint verandah overlooking the gardens and the original service bells from a bygone era.

The accommodation is elegant, beautifully proportioned and light infused by virtue of its large casement style windows. The reception rooms and kitchen flow in a circular pattern from the entrance hallway, ideal for entertaining and everyday family living. The bright landing leads to five spaciously proportioned bedrooms, family bathroom and separate W.C.

The delightful gardens enjoy a perfect sunny orientation and are laid out in a series of lawn areas interspersed by mature shrubbery, hedging and colourful planting. A perimeter pathway meanders around the gardens through trees and shrubbery.

Merlin enjoys a wonderful setting in a quiet, alm
