COASTAL MODERNISM NEAR IRELAND'S FINEST BEACHES Welcome to 85 The Briary, a traditional former holiday home bungalow that has been lovingly transformed into a breathtaking contemporary residence. Modernised with an uncompromising eye for detail, this A3-rated home seamlessly blends bespoke luxury with comfortable energy efficiency. Situated on the popular Blainroe Estate, a collection of detached homes dotted around manicured open landscaped grounds, No. 85 is practically unique in having its own private gardens, with contemplative views over the Blainroe Golf Course and gorgeous Wicklow landscape.

Entering the property, you are immediately struck by the homeowners design choices. The entire home is a riot of colour, texture, materials and carefully chosen finishes. The centrepiece of the property is the spectacular open-plan kitchen and living room space, which bisects the home with a contemporary glass box extension, capturing light from all aspects. A wall of bi-folding doors open up the space onto the private internal courtyard garden, a finely-tuned sun trap that acts as another room to the home. A large ceiling light-well drops daylight down onto the vast "Orinoco" marble island—a natural work of art featuring dramatic ripples of copper and gold veining - finished with elegant waterfall edges at both ends. The island is serving as both a sculptural centerpiece and a functional social hub, of this stunning Good Brother kitchen, a masterclass in modern "Black and Copper" aesthetics.
