This may be the most impressive, award-winning, mews residence in Dublin 6 !
Designed by McCullough Mulvin Architects and boasting a vast open plan, Kitchen/Living/Dining space of 1,000 sq.ft which overlooks a contemporary, sunny, south facing landscaped rear garden.
No. 3 Louis Lane was built in 1999, and is presented in walk-in condition throughout, with deceptively spacious accommodation extending to approx. 186m² (2,000 sq.ft). This cleverly designed home offers every modern convenience in a superb, tucked away, quiet village location.
To create the spectacular living space, the conventional layout was turned upside down, with bedrooms on the ground floor and Living spaces on the first floor. A carport at the main entrance provides important off-street car parking. A contemporary, welcoming reception hall, off which there are three bedrooms (one ensuite and all with built-in wardrobes), a utility/cloakroom and main bathroom. The main and secondary bedrooms have floor-to-ceiling windows and doors out to the rear garden.
Upstairs, there is a spectacular living space spanning 54 feet. The main living room area is exceptionally bright, with picture floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the rear garden, high ceilings, wide plank maple flooring, and open fireplace. A ‘Cape Cod’ style staircase leads to the south facing garden and the decked area, providing great access to the garden.
The Kitchen/Dining room to the front is exceptionally well fitted, with bespoke wall and floor units by Glenwood Studios, Neff double oven, circular bowl sink units, five ring induction hob (Kuppersbusch), integrated Dishwasher (Zanussi) and Fridge-freezer (Belling), subway tiled walls and colorful ‘cassata’ quartz worktops.
