Houses rarely come up on Shrewsbury Road, the most expensive road in Dublin 4, pipping neighbour Ailesbury Road as anyone who played Monopoly will know only too well.
But now comes the opportunity to buy a magnificent Edwardian home that straddles both roads in a key position.
Killead on 23 Shrewsbury Road is on the corner of Shrewsbury and Ailesbury and sits on 1.4 acres of prime D4 territory with manicured lawns, electric gates, a gravel driveway and a picture-perfect redbrick home.
The grounds feature a tennis court, a summer house, and mature gardens.
It is widely regarded as the most impressive home in the area and will no doubt attract wealthy overseas buyers.

Killead is chock-full of ornate period details such as a floor-to-ceiling chimney as well as beautiful carvings in the drawing room's mantelpiece.
There's a country-style kitchen, off which are the drawing, dining and living rooms. Further into the home, there lies the sunroom, conservatory and cinema. The upstairs of the property boasts five bedrooms one of which is currently laid out as a study which can be accessed via two staircases.

Owned by the same family for 45 years, who are in the cinema business, the house also comes on the market with another property to the rear at 40A Ailesbury Road called The Grove formerly known as Mulcaire, which is a four-bed property on a 0.4-acre slice.

Developed over 45 years ago, The Grove was sold prior to Killead's purchase by its current owners and was recently bought for €3.3 million. A small path behind Killead’s tennis court links the two properties.
The price for the two properties is on application but is believed to be in the region of €20million with Lisney Sotheby’s International Realty Ballsbridge where Stephen Day is handling the sale which will no doubt be the sale of 2024 if they find a buyer with deep pockets.

The tender deadline is set for October 30th, with bids required by noon. While official asking prices have not been disclosed, it is expected that Killead and its grounds will attract offers exceeding €15 million, with The Grove likely to command over €4 million.
