Rosella, Off Whitshed Road, The Burnaby, Greystones, Co Wicklow, A63DW21

Sherry FitzGerald are proud to present Rosella, a truly exceptional bespoke contemporary detached residence set on a unique, glorious sylvan site of approximately 0.5 acres. Enjoying wonderful views over Greystones Golf Club and yet just a short stroll from the heart of Greystones village, this home offers a rare blend of tranquillity and convenience. When the current owners acquired the site in 2006, they retained leading Architect Paul Brazil with the vision to create a home that would honour the architectural character of the surrounding Burnaby properties while introducing a refined contemporary aesthetic. The result is a residence defined by exquisite, light-filled interiors, meticulous attention to detail, and a design that maximises its elevated, south-facing position and the stunning views it commands. Rosella is the embodiment of this vision and delivers at every turn. From the moment the solid timber electric gates open to reveal the elegant façade, well tended gardens, and cobbled gravel driveway, the sense of quality and individuality is unmistakable. Inside, a striking reception hall with an oculus overhead sets the tone, complemented by marble tiled floors with underfloor heating and an imposing sandstone fireplace. The ground floor flows effortlessly, from the dual-aspect drawing room with its south-facing box bay window, to the beautifully appointed kitchen and dining area forming the heart of the home. A cosy family room, bespoke orangery with glass atrium and French doors, private study, utility room, and guest cloakroom complete this level, each space designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, the first floor continues to impress with a bright gallery landing overlooking the hall below. The principal suite is superbly positioned to capture a sunny south-facing aspect, with French doors opening to a balcony overlooking the 10th and 18th fairways, as well as the surrounding trees and hills. Additional bedrooms are generously proportioned and beautifully finished, many with en-suite facilities, bespoke cabinetry, and elegant detailing. A luxurious family bathroom further enhances the accommodation, offering a spa-like retreat complete with deep bath, separate shower, sauna, and custom cabinetry. Outside, a large detached double garage—currently used as a hobby space—offers exceptional versatility, complete with French doors, oak flooring, fitted units, and additional storage above. The gardens surrounding the home are immaculately landscaped, featuring Indian sandstone pathways, manicured hedging, specimen trees, and vibrant planting throughout. The rear garden, with its prized south-west orientation, boasts an expansive raised patio, BBQ area, and pizza oven—perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining—while enjoying uninterrupted views of the adjoining golf course. The location is truly second to none. Set along a private avenue overlooking the golf course, the setting feels peaceful and almost rural, yet remains within a ten-minute walk of Greystones’ bustling main street and DART station. Renowned for its lifestyle offering, Greystones provides an excellent selection of schools, cafés, restaurants, sporting amenities, beaches, and marina, along with superb transport links including the DART and easy access to the N11/M11/M50 corridor. Notably, Greystones was awarded gold in the Global Most Liveable Community Awards 2021, reflecting its outstanding quality of life. Rosella is one of a kind, combining the charm and character associated with the Burnaby style with every modern convenience.
