Welcome to Tanglewood, a substantial and sophisticated six bedroom residence which has been meticulously maintained and upgraded by the present owners since first built in 2007. The kerb appeal is instantly evident in this beautiful home, and indeed it has become a landmark since being built due to its aesthetically pleasing red brick facade and proximity close to the heart of bustling Dundrum.

Superbly appointed with generous proportions, this exquisite home offers an excellent balance of living and bedroom accommodation in a practical internal layout. The wonderfully bright accommodation enjoys an excellent flow over four floors and opens out at the back with French doors leading to the south west facing garden with astonishing views of the Dublin mountains. This is without doubt one of the finest homes in the area, extending to over c424 sq m (4,564 sq ft) of an open, natural layout that is both comfortable and smart.

Set back off the road are large double electric gates beyond which is a perfectly laid gravel driveway bordered by granite cobblestones providing parking for numerous cars. The external presentation provides privacy with mature trees, hedging and fencing on both sides.
Its superb location backs on to the amenity that is Airfield, a 35 acre estate and the only working farm within the city boundary, which provides a sense of serenity and a country ambience with views extending to the Dublin Mountains. The owner's sophisticated eye for quality and detail makes this an exceptionally rare combination of an ideal location together with walk-in perfection.

As you walk through the hall door of this remarkable home the high standard of specification becomes immediately evident, with the spacious entrance hall and sweeping staircase setting the tone of what to expect throughout the property. A striking triple height ceiling with gallery landing and light beaming through the large windows above makes this area incredibly bright. To the left of the hallway lies a spacious guest WC and through glass panelled doors to the right are interconnecting reception rooms of tremendous proportions exquisitely decorated and boasting matching limestone fireplaces. The living room connects seamlessly and has glass double doors leading out to the south west facing terrace.

The jewel in the crown of this outstanding home is the open kitchen/ dining/ family room to the rear of the property which is a versatile family space of over 800 sq ft filled with light and connecting with the outside gardens seamlessly.

Steps lead down to the family room/ dining area with wall-to-wall glass overlooking the landscaped gardens and on to the Dublin mountains. In addition, there is a large basement which provides additional options for the new owners. It has been recently fitted out to very high standard and boasts solid white oak wood flooring and an excellent array of bespoke, built-in storage units and shelving. Currently used as a large children's play space, it is extremely versatile and could be used a home gym/ cinema etc. Gallery landings on the first and second floor provide access to all of the six bedrooms. Five of the bedrooms are double with one single room, the main bedroom is exceptionally spacious and boasts an oversized ensuite.
