Description

  • Sale Type: For Sale by Private Treaty
  • Overall Floor Area: 419 m²
A magnificent, detached family home constructed in 1994 over three levels with solid concrete floors occupying an elevated position on beautiful sloping south westerly facing gardens and woodland with mature native and exotic trees that extends to approximately 0.5 Ha (1.25 acres) boasting spectacular sea views over Dublin Bay from Dalkey Island and across to Howth. Located on Mount Salus Road, a private road behind an imposing pillar and gate entrance accessed off Knocknacree Road, the property has direct gated pedestrian access to the popular scenic walks over Dalkey/Killiney hills, and is within walking distance of the wonderful amenities and facilities in Dalkey Town Centre including its own DART station as well as an excellent selection of highly regarded primary and secondary schools and a host of sporting, recreation and leisure facilities. The house was jointly designed by David Crowley of Cantwell Crowley Architects and New Hampshire Architect Dennis Mires. Its open plan living area design and style has a very American feel to it. Every single room has a sea view and is back-lit with natural light from the rear’s sunny south-westerly orientation. The property is approached through a modern pillared entrance onto a gravelled driveway with off street parking for numerous cars. Black limestone steps lead up to a Tom de Paor Architect designed twin height porched entrance addition. Off the entrance hall to the right there is a bright and airy open plan Poggenpohl kitchen/breakfast room that in turn opens into a sunny family room on one side and a bow shaped dining room on the other with breath- taking sea views from a bay of six full height windows. A spacious sitting room and gorgeous octagonal home office/library completes the accommodation at this level. An open steel and maple wood thread stairwell divides in two up to a light infused first floor landing. Off the landing there is a family bathroom and three excellent double bedrooms all en suite with spectacular sea views. The master bedroom has a cathedral style high ceiling, a balcony, walk in closet and large en suite bathroom. At garden level there is a kitchen/living/dining room with two double en suite bedrooms, a guest w.c., store and wine cellar. As this area has its own entrance door and kitchen, it can easily be separated from the main house as a self-contained unit if needs be for a family member or visiting friends. The landscaped gardens and especially the woodland area are a particular feature of the property and wraparound the property perfectly. The woodland area, laid out in the early 20th Century, has been lovingly restored with the addition of granite step paths, terraced vegetable garden, mortar free granite walls and dozens of native and exotic tree species. It is enclosed to the rear and side by a high granite wall. Its labyrinth of paths provides endless enjoyment and is a child’s haven where they can safely play and explore to their hearts content. The elevated sea views are quite simply breath-taking, and the quality of construction utilised the best materials available on the market including imported ‘Andersen’ windows. The house has a concrete construction – ring beams and poured concrete floors – making it an exceptionally solid, low maintenance, home from top to bottom. The location of this attractive family home will be of major interest to those trying to get a foothold in the hugely popular and desirable suburb of Dalkey with its superb amenities, excellent schools, churches, pubs, some of South County Dublin’s finest restaurants, bus services and DART station. The Aircoach to Dublin Airport runs from Fitzpatrick’s Castle and Hyde Road hourly. Leisure and recreational facilities couldn’t be better with pleasant direct access to miles of public park 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.
