Double million at The Rookery

IT will take €2 million or so to come home to roost at The Rookery: house number 11 in the scheme of 11 homes has that evenly rounded price tag.

The big, 2,900 sq ft Rathfarnham family home, a red brick dormer, is off the Scholarstown Road with a range of good local services.

It is on the market at year’s end with Mary Dillon of Sherry FitzGerald who says the setting is quiet and tree-lined, with large gardens. How large? Try one third of an acre, a distinctly large suburban setting, one in keeping with the house’s own size thanks to subsequent extensions by the vendors. If that’s not enough outdoor space, the wonderful Marlay Park is nearby, with the Dublin mountains beyond and the M50 to hand for wider connectivity.
