No. 3 Landscape Avenue presents a rare opportunity to the market having been re-built and extended - designed over 3 levels by the highly regarded architect, Joe Kennedy. This design-led family home was renovated and extended to the absolute highest of standards boasting customised designs and Irish materials throughout. Some notable features include a custom-made ash/teak sliding wall connecting kitchen with lounge; a 20ft high atrium ceiling in dining area opening onto patio overlooking a professionally landscaped garden complete with split level ponds, feature lighting and an array of decorative plants and shrubs along with mature laurel and cherry blossom trees.
Built to the highest specification combining style and functionality, it offers an interior and gardens that are second to none. At 240 sq.m/2583 sq ft the property has been designed with luxury and light in mind; combining impressively proportioned accommodation and layout with a luxury finish. Every detail has been considered to ensure the highest quality with no compromise on comfort. The design of the property has allowed for every reception space one desires, as well as exceptionally spacious bedrooms throughout.
Accommodation
Arranged over three floors, the accommodation offers a practical and versatile layout. On the ground floor, the semi-divided flexible family space comprises an impressive entrance porch and hallway featuring a bay of sliding doors behind which sit a cloak room, utility room and a WC, with a floating beech staircase with glass safety panels. The open plan kitchen, dining and family space is most impressive with its high ceilings, access to garden from dining room, ample space and sliding wall feature through to the lounge with its extended front window (reading area) overlooking the front garden. The lounge has a light-filled and extremely spacious feel and offers an extensive array of bespoke bookcases and storage as well as a raised gas fire.
Upstairs is equally impressive offering 4 well-proportioned bedrooms inc. the master bedroom with dressing room and designer en-suite complete with Jacuzzi bath. There are 3 further bedrooms, all good sized double rooms, one of which is ensuite. The main bathroom completes the picture on this level.
The attic level comprises a large room with Velux windows and a toughened triple glass floor feature which allows light to flow to the floor below. Whilst contemporary in its design, this exceptional home offers comfort, style and quality in abundance, combined with beautifully thought-out accommodation that meets every family requirement.
Gardens
The gardens both front and rear have been professionally landscaped that really must be seen to be fully appreciated. Surrounded by a rich variety of mature trees and planting, a split level entertaining area with outdoor dining zone overlooks waterfall ponds and extensive lawn all of which is bordered by a most impressive array of decorate grasses, reeds and water lilies. Enjoying an exceptionally private, secluded and peaceful setting, some 80ft of lawns with rounded edges laid out in a beautiful series of ‘rooms’, with natural shaded and sunny areas at different times of the day. The elegant front entrance is fully enclosed with teak main and pedestrian gates (power available to automate), and also landscaped with a gravel driveway and mature hedging.
