FOR a pied-a-terre with a desirable D4 address, this Ballsbridge bolthole ticks the boxes. Number 12 Simmonscourt is tucked away in a luxury gated development at the junction of Simmonscourt Road and Anglesea Road, just a stone's throw from the RDS and the Four Seasons Hotel.
The graceful 1,900sq ft (176.5sq m) accommodation is laid out in three bedrooms, two bathrooms, three receptions, kitchen/breakfast room, with private parking to the front and a south-facing rear garden.
The spacious living room is entered directly from the front door with glass panels to the sides and above, ceiling coving, recessed spotlights, wall-mounted candlebras, a panelled wall with dado, and under-stairs storage. The feature open fireplace with cast iron grate is the focal point.
The kitchen features ample units with breakfast counter and open shelving, an Aga oven, single stainless steel sink unit with ceramic-tiled splashback, integrated fridge-freezer, Bosch dishwasher, and LG washing machine. Wall-mounted uplights add to the ambience and a glass-panel door leads to the garden.
The guest WC has ceiling coving, a wash hand basin, WC and extractor fan.
The dining room is located to the front of the house at first-floor level. Entered through double glass-panelled doors, it incorporates built-in shelving. The utility room also includes built-in shelving as well as a Zanussi condenser dryer.
The drawing room, to the rear, has plenty of natural light, with three large windows and doubleglazed doors. The open fire with its cast iron grill and slate hearth casts a warm glow.
A Velux roof window on the second floor landing maximises natural light while built-in storage keeps clutter at bay. Two double bedrooms to the front of the house also rate highly on stowaway style, with built-in shelves in one and built-in wardrobes in the other.
The master bedroom is to the rear of the dwelling with two built-in wardrobes. Blissful bathing awaits in the bathroom's sunken Jacuzzi bath with antiquestyle fittings. There is also a shower stall with rose head, bidet, WC, and two hand basins with chrome fittings and heated towel rail.
This elegant abode has gas-fired central heating, radiator covers throughout and a security alarm system. The back garden, which offers side access, is laid out in patio, bordered by flower beds and shrubbery.
