By now most people will be thinking about Christmas Day – what they’re planning to eat and drink, where they’re having it and who they are spending the day with.
When we think of Christmas, the setting can be everything.
That’s why Mulberry in Dublin 18 could be a dream home for anyone this or any Christmas to come.
Located at 21 Brennanstown Vale, off the Brennanstown Road, this 4 bed detached home offers an incredible 345sqm of living space.
Set on approximately 0.75 acres, Mulberry has undergone vast upgrades since being purchased by its current owners, one of whom is an interior architect, in 2015.
One of the key changes made was converting a former garage into a studio/den, which offers an additional 42sqm of space to get away from the chaos – at Christmas time or any other.
Whether intentional or not, Mulberry looks and feels like the sort of house we’ve seen in many festive films, amongst them Home Alone.
This is one property though that you would want to share with all your family and friends given how breathtaking it is.
Occupying one of the finest plots within the highly sought-after Brennanstown Vale development, the property has been extensively refurbished and extended to create an elegant, light-filled home that is approached by a sweeping double driveway.
The grounds provide ample parking for several cars while maintaining a sense of privacy and seclusion.
On entering, one is greeted by a dramatic reception hall featuring a striking butterfly staircase, setting the tone for the refined accommodation within.
The reception rooms are generously proportioned, with a superb drawing room featuring an ornate fireplace and French doors opening directly to the garden.
To the rear, the heart of the home lies in the stunning kitchen/living/dining extension, designed with family living and entertaining in mind. This space is fitted with high-end appliances, a magnificent centre island with stone worktops, and extensive glazing to maximise natural light.
The ground floor further comprises a formal dining room, sunroom, large utility/back kitchen, and a guest WC.
Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is equally impressive. There are four spacious double bedrooms, all fitted with built in wardrobes and each complemented by a luxurious en-suite. Large picture windows frame delightful views over the manicured gardens and towards the Dublin Mountains.
The south-west facing gardens are a particular highlight, offering complete privacy and tranquillity. Meticulously maintained, they feature rolling lawns, mature hedging, colourful herbaceous borders and an expansive patio, ideal for al fresco dining.
A purpose-built BBQ area with outdoor heating and lighting creates a wonderful setting for year-round entertaining.
Adding further flexibility, the detached one-bedroom studio within the grounds with a fully fitted kitchen, living room/bedroom and shower room provides ideal ancillary accommodation, or could be readily used for the likes of a home office.
The location of Mulberry is also second to none. Tucked away in a peaceful cul-de-sac, it combines privacy with excellent convenience.
Nearby amenities include Carrickmines Tennis Club, Leopardstown Racecourse and golf centre and the boutiques and restaurants of Foxrock Village.
The LUAS Green Line at Carrickmines is also within walking distance, while the M50 is just a short drive away, ensuring easy access to the city centre and beyond.
A home is not just for Christmas but this would be one property you’d love to be waking up in on December 25th.
