House | Rebaja
Tucked away to the rear of a quiet and mature development, no. 8 Rosemount Court is a charming two-bedroom end-of-terrace home with a private south-facing garden, generous side access and a purpose-built garden office. Extending to approximately 62 sq. m. with an additional garden office of approximately 6 sq. m., this is a compact but cleverly arranged home with a strong sense of privacy, warmth and practical day to day living.
Rosemount Court is a well-maintained development positioned in one of Booterstown’s most convenient residential settings. The property enjoys a peaceful position within the estate, with attractive communal green areas, ample undesignated parking and easy access to Blackrock, Mount Merrion, Stillorgan, the N11, UCD and the DART at Booterstown. It is the type of location that appeals to most, close to the coast, close to the city and surrounded by some of South Dublin’s best-known schools, shopping centres and local amenities.
The house itself has a neat exterior with brick and rendered finishes, a modern composite front door and double-glazed windows and doors. The property is understood to date from the mid-1980s and presents as a comfortable, well cared for home that has been thoughtfully adapted over time. The heating system is a notable feature, with Sunjoy infrared ceiling panels controlled by Computherm wireless thermostats in the main rooms, offering a modern healthy and discreet approach to heating the home.
Inside, the front door opens into a hallway where solid wood flooring runs through to the main living space. There is a useful shoe storage area, cloak hanging space and a generous under-stairs storage cupboard. The kitchen is positioned to the front of the property and is compact but well appointed, with cherry-style fitted units, black marble-style countertops, slate-effect floor tiles, integrated Neff appliances, Bosch washing machine, full-size fridge freezer, extractor fan, wine storage and a front-facing window with both voile and a Roman blind.
An opening hatch from the kitchen connects into the open plan living and dining room, giving the ground floor a connected sociable flow. The dining area sits neatly between the kitchen and living space, while the living room is bright and comfortable, with solid wood flooring, a wood burning stove set within a marble surround and double wooden patio doors opening directly to the rear garden. The stove gives the room a real focal point and helps to divide the living and dining areas without closing the space down.
The rear garden is one of the strongest features of the property. South-facing, mature and walled, it has a paved patio directly off the living room, planted borders, trees and a traditional stone arch wall which add great character. The garden is not just decorative, it is neat and has enough space for outdoor seating, planting, storage and working from home. The wide side entrance is another important advantage, providing very practical access for bins, bikes, garden equipment and general day-to-day use.
At the rear of the garden is the purpose-built Shomera-style office, a valuable addition for anyone working from home or looking for a quiet creative space away from the main house. The office is cedar-clad externally, treated and sealed with OSMO, and is fully insulated to the floor, walls and ceiling. It has electricity, heating, lighting, laminate flooring, storage, a window, substantial glazed doors and excellent Wi-Fi connectivity, with the Wi-Fi point located in the sitting room close to the rear patio doors. This is a proper working space.
Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. The main bedroom is positioned to the front and is not directly overlooked, with views towards the Poolbeg Chimneys. It has solid wood flooring, LED downlights, blackout Roman blind and excellent storage through three floor-to-ceiling sliding wardrobe doors, one of which is mirrored. The second bedroom overlooks the rear garden and is a brilliantly clever room, fitted with built-in wardrobes, shelving, drawer storage, a pull-down bed and an electric up-and-down desk also fits in this room. It works equally well as a guest bedroom, study or hybrid room for modern living.
The bathroom is partially tiled and finished with mosaic floor tiles, a Villeroy & Boch corner sink and matching toilet, heated towel rail and bath with pumped overhead shower. Natural light comes through a Velux roof window/light tunnel, while the landing also provides access to a hot press with hot water cylinder, immersion and shower pump. A Stira pull-down stair gives access to a floored and insulated attic with lighting, providing valuable additional storage.
No. 8 Rosemount Court is a home with more personality than its size might suggest. It has the practical pieces buyers are looking for, two bedrooms, good storage, a private garden, side access, parking, upgraded heating and a proper home office, but it also has charm, colour and completeness that is not always easy to find. For a buyer seeking a well-located Booterstown home with outdoor space and flexibility, this is a very appealing opportunity.
