**RESERVED**
Stunning one of a kind architect designed house is located a short stroll from Marlay Park.
The property is a spacious and stylish family home. It stands securely in the extensive and maturely landscaped grounds of a country estate.
This is a truly unusual and airy property with 1550 sq ft (144 sq m) of beautifully proportioned living space:
A Victorian lodge that has been imaginatively extended by award-winning architects to maximize its stunning setting in the rural foothills of Rathfarnham.
The lodge has been fitted out using only the best of natural materials: slate, brick, stone and cedar-wood grown on site, with quarry-tiles and wooden floors throughout.
A large, open-plan, newly-fitted kitchen/living/dining area, lies at the heart of the house. A door opens out onto the sun-drenched garden at the rear, and for winter, there's a wood-burning stove in a cosy nook. Above the kitchen is an open mezzanine space with room for a desk and a view of the mountains. A separate utility room opens to a small yard with a clothes line. Off the kitchen, there are two double/twin bedrooms with built-in wardrobes along a wide corridor with ample shelving. Two steps lead up into the original lodge, with a comfortable second living area / study, a third double bedroom and a shower-room/wc. This section can be sound-proofed from the rest of the house by closing the double-doors. The property is insulated to the highest building standards, and boasts underfloor heating throughout, a geo-thermal heat pump, two wood-burning stoves, and its own water supply from a new well.
Accommodation comprises: 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (1 shower / 1 bath), a utility room, a large kitchen/dining/living area and a sitting room / study.
There's plenty of built-in, solid wood storage throughout.
There is parking adjacent for 2 cars, a south-facing private gard
