Description
This is a most attractive, double fronted, detached bungalow that occupies a substantial site of 846 sq.m. (1/5 acre) approx., with a wonderful southerly aspect to the rear. Built in the 1940’s, this is a much admired and sought after residential enclave. As you would expect in homes of this era, there is a wonderful sense of balance, with generous room proportions and high ceilings which offers tremendous flexibility in terms of layout, adjusting to different and changing family circumstances. It has extra road frontage of 17.3m approx. with the benefit of an additional vehicular entrance which runs alongside the property leading to a second garage situated at the rear end of the garden. The potential to extend this family home is obvious, and so many opportunities exist - to the side, in front of the Garage and into the 40m approx. (132ft) long rear garden and of course to further develop the converted attic space (subject to Planning Permission). This undoubtedly could be the forever home. A stroll around Woodlawn will confirm the confidence in the area, with a superb range of high-end refurbishment projects, which have been carried out in recent times, resulting in many impressive family homes. It is clearly evident that this has been a much loved and very well maintained family home. The bright and well-proportioned accommodation includes: Entrance hall, living/dining room (originally two rooms), conservatory, family room, kitchen/breakfast room, two generous double bedrooms and family bathroom on the ground floor. There are two attic rooms and a bathroom in the converted attic, as well as an adjoining garage with utility room. Woodlawn Park enjoys an enviable position - close to Rathgar, Milltown and Dundrum and, most importantly, within a stroll of the LUAS which offers a speedy journey to the city and beyond.

Dundrum Town Centre and all its associated amenities are just minutes away, not forgetting excellent local shopping at Churchtown. There is a comprehensive selection of well-established junior and senior schools nearby, and it is within a short cycle of UCD. Both Milltown and The Castle Golf Clubs are close-by, as well as a selection of leisure amenities, including leisurely walks along the Dodder Linear Park, connecting Bushy Park all the way to Herbert Park.
