Karibu is an elegant double-fronted mid-terrace Victorian residence offering a beautifully proportioned family home, rich in charm and character, with spacious and adaptable accommodation extending to approximately 176 sq.m.(1,894 sq.ft). Occupying a superb position on highly sought-after Mellifont Avenue, this impressive property combines generous proportions, period appeal and exceptional versatility in one of Dún Laoghaire’s most desirable residential locations. Approached through a wrought-iron pedestrian gate, the property is set behind an enclosed front garden with mature planting and a central mature tree. A pathway leads to the granite entrance step and front door, setting the tone for this attractive period residence. At ground-floor level, a generous reception hall provides a welcoming introduction to the home. Two elegant reception rooms are positioned to the front, while two bedrooms lie to the rear. The heart of the home is the wonderful open-plan kitchen, family and dining area, which overlooks and opens towards the sunny west-facing rear garden. A practical utility area and contemporary shower wet room complete the accommodation on this level. The upper floors offer a kitchenette and family shower room which are situated on the first return, while the first floor accommodates two further double bedrooms together with two beautifully proportioned interconnecting reception rooms. Each of these rooms features a fireplace, creating an especially appealing atmosphere. While the current arrangement offers excellent versatility, these rooms could readily be reconverted to bedrooms if desired, allowing the accommodation to adapt effortlessly to a variety of family requirements. The rear garden is undoubtedly one of the standout features of this exceptional property. Private and blessed with a highly sought-after sunny west-facing orientation, it provides a wonderful setting for outdoor living and entertaining. As one of the last houses to retain the full extent of its garden, the property enjoys direct access onto Adelaide Lane via a pedestrian gate, together with a large garage. There may be potential to develop the rear subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission.
