Green Park has long been sought after in South Dublin circles. A unique development, it was built in the 1930's by the renowned Dublin builder John Kenny & Sons of Harcourt Street. Designed by architect Rupert Jones, each of the substantial 22 houses 8 of which are situated around a crescent green - were built to a different design. John Kenny built Woodberry to his own specification and lived here with his large family for many years. The house features many Art Deco influences both inside and out to include its symmetrical design and classic architraving and occupies one of the largest and most private sites within Green Park.
The location is superb - a wealth of educational, recreational and retail amenities are located close by. The local Luas stop at Windy Arbour is approx. 10 minutes walking distance away, whilst Rathgar village and local shopping on Churchtown Road Upper are also easily accessible. The property is 15 minutes (approx.) from St. Stephen's Green by Luas and the M50 motorway is very accessible. Terenure, Dartry, Dundrum, not to mention Ranelagh and Rathmines are all close by and are home to some of Dublin's best junior and senior schools including, but not limited to, Alexandra College, Gonzaga, The High School, Stratford College, Taney and Kildare Place national schools to name but a few - undoubtedly a key factor of consideration for discerning family buyers in choosing a location.
