It may be a long way from America’s movie capital, but the A-rated North Dublin development of Hollywoodrath has its very own cast of stars when it comes to contemporary construction features with box office appeal.

Built in 2016 around five acres of parkland, Hollywoodrath provides plenty of room for growing families with three and four-bed detached and semi-detached houses featuring solar panels, composite front doors and readily convertible attic spaces.

In No11, the owners went ahead and converted the attic into two rooms, currently used as bedrooms, and a shower room. This brought the overall floor area up to 2,131 sq ft, already a good deal bigger than an average family home today. But there’s more — it comes with an additional 215 sq ft in an adjoining home gym and storage room to the side of the house.

The open-plan dining/living area

Downstairs, there’s a living room, a family room/bedroom, guest WC and an open-plan kitchen/dining/living room with laminate timber flooring, Velux window and double doors opening out to a sandstone patio overlooking the back garden. A separate pantry leads to a utility room, store room and home gym.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms (one en suite with a walk-in wardrobe) and a family bathroom. A cobblelock front driveway provides off-street parking for several cars.

Hollywoodrath is halfway between Dublin Airport and the city centre, both around a 15 to 20-minute drive away, and the property is less than 10 minutes to Blanchardstown Shopping Centre.
