Ardbrugh Road, Dalkey, Co. Dublin

This stunning 5 bed, 5 bath property is AVAILABLE FOR SHORT TERM LETTING FROM THE 20th OF AUGUST 2024. Breathtaking, spectacular, unique……just a few of the expressions used by our guests to describe this magnificent, detached home. ‘Every time I come in the gate, I get excited’, to quote one of the owners. The property is gated and totally private and secluded. Constructed on a spectacular site in 2019 by Richard Murphy Architects, it slopes down to the north offering a spectacular view of Dublin Bay. The design placed the house deliberately along its eastern boundary facing west onto a terraced garden so that both garden and house have the benefit of afternoon and evening sunlight. Even on a rainy evening you can appreciate the sea of natural light as you enter the northeast-aspected building. A rooflight runs down the centre of the house pulling your eyes to the sea and the Howth peninsular beyond. The house itself is like a large craft, (the owner is a keen yachtsman) with its beech ceilings and built-in furniture, and floor in maple. You enter the property over a bridge, designed to add to the building's drama. That dynamism begins before you even reach the suspended walkway and continues inside the house. There are 5 generous sized bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, wonderful integrated kitchen, dining room, large, restful lounge, an office space, and a large playroom/recreation room. Double garage. Underfloor heating throughout the house. Ample parking. The main bedroom and living room have doors that fold back, joining them to a terrace with a pond fed by rainwater sliding down chains from the gutter. The rooms can also be closed down by insulated shutters. Situated off Ardbrugh/Torca Road, the property is a short walk from the main street of Dalkey village with its wide variety of specialty shops, bars, restaurants, and recreational activities. The DART provides easy access to and from the city centre and the M50 is a short drive away. The Aircoach to Dublin Airport runs from Fitzpatrick’s Castle and Hyde Road hourly. There is an abundance of leisure and recreational facilities with access to miles of public walks over Killiney and Dalkey hills as well as along the seafront. There are excellent recreational facilities including GAA, golf and tennis clubs close by. The four yacht clubs at Dun Laoghaire Harbour with its extensive marina will be of major interest to the marine and sailing enthusiast. The area hosts a wide range of highly regarded schools not to mention the local sailing and golf clubs. Please contact Clare on +353 86 1618471 if you wish to view this property.
