Cedar House is tucked away at the end of Glenaulin Park, a road of redbrick houses where the gardens of the properties on one side of the street sweep down to the River Liffey.
Cedar House was built in 1998 and shares the architecture of the adjacent Glenaulin Nursing Home, a period redbrick house with a charming turret and some less aesthetically pleasing flat-roofed extensions. Cedar House too has its own turret, lead-topped and with floor-to-ceiling box bay windows. It has a sprawling layout with every room in the house any shape except square. But at 240sq m (2,583sq ft) there is plenty of room for every member of the family.
To the front is a huge hall and family room. Adjoining it is the kitchen and breakfastroom, where a door leads through to an oval-shaped formal diningroom. Glass doors open into the livingroom, where there are windows on three sides, including one of the box bays. Also noteworthy is the utility room with walk-in hot press .
The stairs are set in the glazed turret and the curtains could be removed to allow light stream into the otherwise dark hall.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms. The master has a spacious dressingroom and a shower en suite. It and the second bedroom both have French window access on to a balcony. Outside is mainly gravelled, but the south-facing side of the garden is tiered, terraced with mature shrubbery that renders this side and completely private. The property is asking €895,000 through agents Lisney.
