Description
Number 6 Merlyn Drive is a substantial and well-proportioned semi-detached family home set on a generous, west facing plot in one of Dublin 4’s most sought-after residential addresses.

The property extends to approximately 173.4 sq m (1,866 sq ft) across two well-planned floors and presents beautifully as a double-fronted home with timber windows throughout, and a gravel drive offering off-street parking. The rear garden is a particular feature, a mature, west-facing private oasis of considerable size, planted with specimen trees, deep herbaceous borders bursting with colour, and a sunny paved terrace.
Internally, the house retains a great deal of character whilst wonderfully bright. An open fireplace in the sitting room ideal for entertaining and an easy flow. The modern kitchen extending across the back of the house flows directly to the garden via French doors and, together with three interconnecting reception rooms on the ground floor, creates an exceptionally versatile layout suitable for modern family life. The property is offered with scope for its new owners to make a very fine home of it indeed.

GARDENS & GROUNDS
The rear garden is exceptional by any measure — a mature, private, west-facing garden of considerable depth and width with enviable brick rear wall. The garden has been lovingly established over many years. Exiting the house to a sunny filled rear patio, provides an ideal entertaining and dining space, giving way to a central expanse of lawn framed by deep, richly planted borders. Specimen trees including Euphorbia mellifera, a selection of Acers and maples as well as fruit trees. This wonderfully mature planting provides height, structure, and year-round interest, whilst vibrant bursts of bearded iris and flowering shrubs add seasonal colour that is simply outstanding in late spring. A timber garden store sits to the rear.
To the front, the property is approached via a gravelled forecourt providing off-street parking for a number of vehicles.
