SET BACK FROM the road in one of Dublin’s most prestigious suburbs is Mayerling – a massive six-bed home that was built in the ‘60s.
With its floor area of 436 m², Mayerling is surrounded by an acre of grounds and is just a short walk from Cabinteely village. The front door is approached by a winding gravel driveway. The location could fool you into thinking you’re in the depths of the countryside and not on the outskirts of the city.
On the market for €2,395,000 space abounds inside and out, so whether you have a large family or enjoy hosting guests, Mayerling is the perfect luxury spot. Aside from the home gym on the ground floor, there is also a full-sized tennis court on the grounds making it an ideal spot for anyone who works exercise into their daily routine.
The large and bright hallway sets the tone for the rest of the house and leads to a number of social rooms: a dining room, drawing room and the spacious kitchen.
The drawing room is bright and elegant, enjoying a triple aspect and a gorgeous open fireplace with a marble surround. The dining room then links open plan kitchen that has brilliant views of the garden and steps out onto the deck that spans the length of the house at the back.
For those who love being in the kitchen, the space has been fitted by Country Kitchens of Ballymore Eustace to include wall and floor units with lots of storage space and even a larder press. The American-style Samsung fridge, two Electrolux ovens, Bosch dishwasher and Neff microwave will no doubt make cooking up a storm a breeze. A large island with its black granite makes the space more social.
The more casual family room, a study and a gym along with a guest toilet and utility room completes the ground floor of this huge home. With so much floor space to work with, creating a separate living quarters for elderly relatives or regular guests who’d like the independence, could be wholly possible.
Six large bedrooms make up the first floor with the main bedroom overlooking the front garden and enjoying an en suite bathroom and a luxurious dressing room with fitted wardrobes. The other bedrooms are doubles, too. One has an en suite bathroom while the remaining four share the family bathroom.
With trees and shrubs surrounding the site Mayerling sits on, this home is so private and peaceful. There’s plenty of space for a number of cars, a steel shed that could easily be a garage or simply a place to store gardening equipment. The lawn and tennis court can be seen from the deck that’s ideal for outdoor dining.
Located in what’s considered one of Dublin’s most prestigious areas, Cabinteely Village sits close by as does a huge Dunnes Stores at Cornelscourt. Cabinteely Park is a wide open space for people of all ages to enjoy, whether you they want a coffee and walk, to exercise or to play in the large playground. A move to the area will mean that families at all stages will have their pick of schools at every level, too. And for those with an office in the city centre, transport options include the bus and LUAS if they want to leave the car at home.
This all makes it clear that Mayerling’s price tag isn’t just reflective of the size and spec of the house itself. There’s no doubt it’s because of its location, too.
