Welcome to the consummate executive family home. Lake Road means that you have it all; the perfect rural family idyll and a very easy commute to Dublin City centre.

Located just outside Monasterevin, Co. Kildare and very close to motorway access Graigavern , Lake Road is a family home constructed to very high standards. The house was designed by renowned architect Michael Rice whose trademarks of light, space and symmetry are very much in evidence.

Electric gates open to a tree lined drive with a small stream located at the end of the garden. The bright kitchen/dining room basks in sunlight, has an attractive wood burning stove and an impressive gallery. This large room is the centre of the home and lends itself to cooking, entertaining and all aspects of family life.

The property boasts a further two reception rooms, an office and a versatile wing. This wind consists of a large room downstairs currently used as a snooker/party room with two bedrooms and a large bathroom overhead. This could easily be put to use as an au pair or granny annex. There are a further four bedrooms with one being on the ground floor.

Graigavern, Lake Road is the sum of years of dedicated planning, on a sanctuary site in a perfect location, all combining to create that rarest of things; your very own Nirvana on the doorstep of the capital.
