Description

REA MURPHY HAVE PLACED THIS PROPERTY ON RESERVE FOR THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER. VIEWINGS SUSPENDED UNTIL 1ST OF DECEMBER 2023.

ITHACA – a beautiful island off the coast of Greece renowned for its lush green nature and its strong botanical influences.  Very similar to ITHACA at Golden Hill, Manor Kilbride – a mature family home sitting amidst lush green surroundings with strong botanical influences.

The residence stands on an acre of ground. The residence was constructed in 1972 and the current owners have lived there since then.  The gardens have been strategically developed as a labour of love for the Owners – a keen interest in shrubbery and trees has formed the garden design, bringing Irish Native trees to mingle with some truly exotic botanical species from various parts of the world.

The property is very well protected from the local public road and Golden Hill is a sought-after location within 2Km of Manor Kilbride village.  A mature community of one-off housing in a beautifully rural location within minutes’ drive from West Dublin and Blessington Town - ideal for rural walks and outdoor activities.

Approached over gravelled driveway and a large parking area, the Residence offers spacious reception rooms and 4 Bedrooms complimented with Bathroom and En Suite.  The impressive front lounge is huge, but it works very well as the main hub of the property.  The Dining room links nicely to the rear conservatory from which one enjoys the true beauty of the rear gardens.   Outside one has a choice of where to go depending on the time of day, the lawn areas are subdivided with the expansive range of shrubbery, but the seating area beside the Paperbark Maple is a particularly favourite spot.  The water-lily pond is a feature at the garden inner sanctum – notice the wedding cake tree close to the Chilean lantern tree between the English Oaks.   To the front, the Parrotia (ironwood tree) is the star of the show - an endangered species of tree from afar, which is a joy to observe.

ITHACA offers a rare opportunity to purchase a complete garden with a solid family home. Inspection is strongly recommended.

The residence is fashionably dated with decoration styles of yesteryear.
