Time for tennis in Stepaside
YOU would never be stuck for an opportunity to practise your putting if you lived at Kulika, a six-bedroom detached house at Kilgobbin Lawn in Stepaside, Dublin 18.
It is across the road from the Burrow Par-3 Golf Course, and about a 15-minute walk from both Stepaside Golf Course and the golf centre and driving range.
But if you tire of golf — for it is rumoured that people occasionally do — you can try tennis instead, and for that you don’t even have to step outside the front gate.
The house is on almost threequarters (0.71) of an acre of grounds, which include a tennis court.
Kulika is also well designed for people who prefer more sedentary amusements, as it has a billiard room too.
This room is reached from the dining room on the ground floor, it measures about 16ft by 20ft and has double doors to the garden.
On the opposite side of the dining room there’s a family room with a guest toilet off it, and elsewhere on the ground floor there’s a lounge with a gas-fitted fireplace, and a 22ft by 11ft kitchen and breakfast room with wall and floor units, and plumbed for a washing machine and dishwasher.
There’s also a car port which you can reach from the family room.
The first floor — up the stairs in the dining room — has six bedrooms, the main one having an ensuite with a sunken bath, along with a family bathroom.
The floor area comes to 2,850 sq ft in total.
Apart from the tennis court, the grounds are lawned with some mature ornamental trees and shrubs. Stepaside village is about 200 metres from the gate, and the M50 is a five-minute drive.
Quillsen in Dun Laoghaire is the agent (01) 280 1719 and the asking price is €995,000.
