15 Seafort Parade, Blackrock, Booterstown, Co. Dublin, A94H7T2

On certain streets, location alone makes a house special. On Seafort Parade, it is the rare combination of history, architecture and the sea that makes No. 15 truly exceptional. Dating from the early 1900s, No. 15 Seafort Parade is an exceptional three-bedroom period residence that was completely reimagined and transformed in 2010/2011 by award winning Lawrence & Long Architects. The result is a remarkable home where timeless character and contemporary design exist in perfect harmony. Occupying a truly enviable position directly opposite Dublin Bay, the ever-changing seascape provides a spectacular backdrop to everyday life. Morning swims, coastal walks and leisurely cycles have become part of the rhythm of living here, while the open amenity green to the front creates a wonderful sense of space and tranquillity. Despite its peaceful setting, the vibrant heart of Blackrock Village is less than 400 metres away, placing an array of cafés, restaurants, boutiques and excellent transport links within an easy stroll. Behind its handsome façade lies a home of immense warmth and sophistication, extending over three beautifully presented levels. Every element of the extensive renovation was approached with meticulous attention to detail, preserving the charm and proportions of the original house while introducing a level of comfort and craftsmanship rarely encountered. Rich oak flooring runs throughout the home, bespoke joinery features extensively, and an abundance of natural light fills the interiors. At the heart of the house lies a superb contemporary kitchen, where electrically operated rooflights illuminate bespoke cabinetry, a statement island with integrated lighting and storage, stone worktops and a carefully curated selection of premium appliances including Liebherr, Siemens and Electrolux. Throughout the home, the quality of finish is immediately apparent, from the elegant oak and glass balustrades to the restored sash windows fitted with bespoke plantation shutters. The luxurious bathroom has been thoughtfully designed as a sanctuary, featuring Duravit sanitaryware, a Grohe rain shower, Bette steel bath, underfloor heating and bespoke oak cabinetry. Architect’s drawings are also available for the creation of a second bathroom, allowing future owners the opportunity to further enhance this exceptional home. The scale of the renovation undertaken in 2010/2011 is particularly impressive. A completely new insulated roof structure was installed, the property was entirely rewired and replumbed, and a high-efficiency gas combi boiler was fitted. Smart zoned heating is controlled via Heatmiser Neo thermostats linked to an iPhone, while a HKC alarm system provides additional peace of mind. Custom wardrobes and bespoke fitted cabinetry further illustrate the extraordinary care and investment that has been lavished upon this home. While properties of this nature are exempt from BER requirements, a BER assessment was carried out at the time of the extensive renovation works and the property achieved an impressive C rating. The certificate has since expired, however it serves as a testament to the high standard of upgrades undertaken. Life at Seafort Parade is defined as much by its surroundings as by the home itself. The promenade and swimming spots are quite literally on the doorstep, while dedicated cycle lanes connect Sandycove and Dun Laoghaire to the south and Dublin City Centre to the north. Blackrock’s renowned cafés, restaurants, shopping and DART station are all within a few minutes’ walk, making this one of South Dublin’s most desirable and convenient coastal addresses. Beautifully restored, thoughtfully modernised and occupying an extraordinary setting on Dublin Bay, 15 Seafort Parade represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine distinction; a place where architectural excellence, heritage and coastal living come together in a manner that is both timeless and utterly compelling.
