"Glenflesk", Whitshed Road, The Burnaby, Greystones, Co Wicklow,

Description

A magnificent Neo-colonial residence extending to c. 346.81sq.m / 3,733sq.ft backing onto Greystones Golf Club and set amid c. ½ acre gardens on an elevated yet private position affording panoramic sea views over Greystones and Charlesland Golf Clubs and the east coast south to Wicklow Head, "Glenflesk" offers all that is best in terms of modern amenity allied to traditional standards more redolent of the Edwardian era typical of the Old Burnaby. A southern aspect lends maximum solar gain with impressive views out over the well-tended landscaped garden, and the whole house enjoys a wonderful sense of light and space.

Within walking distance of all the considerable amenities of Greystones - including the DART and south beach - this is an unrepeatable opportunity to purchase a period-style property full of character, but built to the most exacting modern standards of design and execution including 10-foot ceilings downstairs.

Greystones is a wonderful place to live and bring up a family. With a safe harbour (now the subject of a landmark marina development), beaches, and much more to appeal from a leisure viewpoint (sporting clubs, GAA, tennis, rugby, bridge, shore-angling and soccer), the town offers a choice of secondary and primary education as well as good shopping, welcoming coffee-houses, and top-class restaurants / pubs.

All this within easy reach of the city by road (N11 / M11 / M50 link), bus, and train; and the attractions are obvious.

"Glenflesk" is a designer residence full of period character and modern amenity, aimed at the most discerning purchaser seeking excellence of design and execution; together with an enviable location on the edge of Greystones Golf Club. There are Marvin aluminium-clad architectural windows, a custom kitchen, elegant lounge, intimate diningroom, luxury bathrooms, and a superb principal bedroom suite; and "Smarthomes" system in every room, which includes data / TV / telephone.
