▪️ ▪️ ▪
Built circa 1880, set on approximately 0.65 HA (1.61 Acres) on Tipper Road in Naas. This grand home features an elegant foyer, and interconnected reception rooms. The property includes a two-car garage, storeroom, greenhouse, and mature gardens, conveniently located, it offers easy access to schools, restaurants, amenities and major cities via the M7.
Greenawn Gowra, an exquisitely designed red-brick Victorian residence, took shape over a 20-year period starting in 1880. The property was commissioned by an English physician, Dr. Smith, who was good friends of the Jesuit Order in Clongowes Wood. The Jesuits helped Dr Smith name the property “Greenawn Gowra”. Following Dr. Smith's passing, the house was bequeathed to the Jesuits.
A significant evolution of the residence came in the form of an observational tower, a later addition crafted by its subsequent occupant, Barry Brown Jr. His fascination with the celestial skies led him to construct this tower, specifically for stargazing. In 1976, the property transitioned into the hands of its current owners.
Nestled amidst a mature and sprawling expanse, this magnificent dwelling, constructed around 1890, serves as a testament to an era that celebrated opulence, craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to detail. Strategically located on Tipper Road, the main house is set a comfortable distance from the main road, ensuring privacy behind its electric security gates. A gravel driveway, elegantly framed by beech hedging, directs you to the main residence draped in Virginia creeper that assumes a deep crimson hue come autumn. Adjacent to the property is a two-car garage, accompanied by a conveniently situated storeroom. This space holds immense potential, suitable for transformation into a home office or an artist's studio. Complementing these structures, the grounds also house a charming greenhouse.

As you ascend the granite steps and step through the handcrafted timber entrance porch, you are greeted by a beautiful foyer laid in Victorian tiles. A conveniently located WC is on the left. To the right is a study which would have originally been a doctor's waiting room. Further on, a magnificent reception room awaits, where a beautiful marble fireplace commands your attention. Timber flooring adds warmth and character to the space, while adjacent glass doors open to the garden. This home unfolds with a series of interconnecting reception rooms, each embodying the grandiosity of Victorian design. The opulent dining room, adorned with a box bay casement windows and hand-painted stained-glass detailing, flows seamlessly into a formal drawing room. Here, sliding panelled pocket doors, graced with hand-carved screen provide an intimate setting for refined dining experiences. Just steps away, a sunlit Victorian conservatory awaits complete with French doors that also open to the garden. Each of these rooms showcases meticulously crafted features that celebrate the home's rich history. Elaborate cornicing and wall mouldings, chandeliers, marble fireplaces, and bay casement windows with stained glass detailing all contribute to a sense of timelessness.
The kitchen / breakfast room, the heart of the home, masterfully combines period charm and functionality. A classic four-oven oil-fired Aga and traditional and Sheila maid evoke memories of another time, while free-standing units and an additional space fitted with units cater to contemporary needs. An adjacent utility room adds practicality, and a door leads to a cellar.
Ascending the ornate hand-carved staircase, the first floor awaits with a master bedroom suite. Bathed in natural light from dual-aspect windows, again with stain glass detailing, this room features custom-built wardrobes and a luxurious ensuite, complete with a shower, heated towel rail radiator, and a freestanding claw-foot bath.
