Own a unique piece of local history
A stunning, historic property steeped in character tucked just off the bustling main street of Athlone town is being introduced to the market by Mark Nestor Property Services. Spanning around 170 square metres, over three floors of accommodation and dating from the 1880s, this six-bedroom semi-detached home in Court Devenish, Athlone offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of local history.
The property underwent extensive renovation and refurbishment in 2022 and 2023 by the current owners. The house is extremely inviting with a wonderful feel and the chosen décor compliments the house beautifully.
Stepping into the entrance hallway, immediately one senses that this is an enchanting property that blends classic features with modern comforts. From the moment you step through the front door, you will be captivated by the sense of history that fills every room. This home boasts high ceilings, original period details, all lovingly preserved to maintain its heritage.
The front reception room/lounge hosts a feature fireplace and coving work and is an ideal space for relaxing. The rear reception room offers more informal living in the form of a large open dining area with kitchen, allowing access to the rear courtyard. It is fully glazed on one and a half walls with sky lighting and is naturally lit as a result. The patio courtyard off this room is perfect for Sunday mornings with the family or late evening barbeques with friends. The kitchen has been finished to an exceptional standard with large kitchen feature island and overhead pendant lighting. A laundry room is also conveniently positioned next to the kitchen.
On the ground floor to the front of the property is a home office which would have been the front parlour for waiting guests. This would provide an ideal space for working from home.
Rising to the first floor is the master bedroom suite complete with a spacious en-suite bathroom. The first floor hosts two further bedrooms, all serviced by a bright four piece bathroom. The third floor is a versatile space, there is a bathroom as well as two large rooms, both currently being used as bedrooms, however they could easily make a home cinema, perfect for family movie nights.
The large kitchen/living/dining area offers versatility, allowing for a combination of dining, entertainment and relaxation areas. Six generously sized bedrooms and two bathrooms provide ample space for a growing family or hosting guests. This property retains much of its quintessential historic charm in the present-day and yet has since undergone significant renovation works, resulting in the most exquisite of family homes by modern day standards.
The property has an asking price of €669,000 and is located in an enviable position, within a stone's throw of the town centre.
