Larkfield Farm and Mill, which lay on the site of the modern Sundrive Super Valu Shopping Centre, played a notable part in the preparations for the Easter Rising in 1916. At that time this area was mostly farmland, with development beginning only after 1922. Larkfield Avenue was developed in the ‘30’s. Number 24 is an attractive home in what has, particularly recently, become a premium location.
EXPLORE INSIDE
The front door is to the side of the home which creates a different layout to the classic 3-bedroomed semi, with rooms leading out from a square rather than off a long hallway. The sitting room commands the entire width of the front of the house, with an extended kitchen and bright sunroom to the rear. There is a guest WC on the ground floor.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
EXPLORE OUTSIDE
There is off street car parking to the front. The back garden, which is a space with great potential, can be accessed from the front via a side entrance – useful for bringing bikes in and out, particularly when you live within a 15 minute cycle of the City Centre.
The area around the Sundrive Cross Roads has been upcycled in recent years with the addition of outlets such as cafes, beauty salons, bakeries, and a soon to be opened wine and tapas bar from the Arty Bakery people. The stalwarts survive also, with a hardware shop whose road frontage belies a much larger than expected space and a full-service Super Valu, chemist and post office. A little further afield, Harold’s Cross,Terenure, Rathgar and Rathmines are all within comfortable walking distance.
There are ample schools in the area, and a selection of well-maintained parks, including Harold’s Cross Park which is very popular with families and is less than a 15 minute walk away. Terrific bus connections will have you in town in 30 minutes, to James Hospital in less than 20 minutes, or to Sandymount for a stroll on the strand in about half an hour.
THE BOTTOM LINE
When you buy a home you are, very importantly, also buying into a community and location. This home ticks so many boxes on every front that we are anticipating very strong interest.
