Tucked away in a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac, 38 Ballinteer Gardens is a beautifully presented red-brick two-storey residence offering a rare opportunity to acquire a home of character, quality, charm and history in an established family-friendly setting. This small housing estate was built in 1932 by the Irish Sailors' and Soldiers' Land Trust, for ex-servicemen of the First World War. Approached via a cobble-lined gravel driveway bordered by well-planted flowerbeds, No. 38 enjoys immediate kerb appeal and benefits from gated side access to a truly magnificent south-facing rear garden. Mature ever-green hedging provides privacy for both the front and rear gardens.

Internally, the property is presented in excellent decorative condition and has been thoughtfully maintained and upgraded to combine modern convenience with timeless character. A welcoming entrance hall leads to a bright and elegant living room with a feature horseshoe-shaped cast iron fireplace and a large picture window overlooking the front garden. This opens through to a stylish kitchen/dining area with a range of painted units and integrated appliances, all finished with a tiled floor and part-tiled walls. From here, a door leads directly out to a large suntrap patio and landscaped rear garden.

Upstairs, there are two generously proportioned double bedrooms, both featuring original fireplaces, and a family bathroom tiled in travertine. With gas-fired central heating, double-glazed windows, and a bright, tasteful interior throughout, the home is turnkey and ready for immediate occupation.

Located just a short stroll from Dundrum Town Centre and the LUAS at Balally, Ballinteer Gardens offers exceptional convenience. The area is served by excellent public transport links, renowned primary and secondary schools, and a wide variety of local shops, cafes and leisure facilities. Marlay Park, the M50, access to the Dublin Mountains and a range of sporting amenities are all close by, making this a superb choice for both families and those seeking a quiet yet well-connected location.
