Description
Set within an exclusive development of just eight distinguished residences, 1 Balure is a superbly crafted Regency-style detached home within this discreet enclave off Church Road in Killiney. Designed with an emphasis on refined living and effortless entertaining, this exceptional five-bedroom home offers approximately 375sq.m. (4,026sq.ft.) of beautifully proportioned accommodation over three spacious levels.
Approached through secure cast iron electric gates, this elegant home is set on a generous, landscaped corner site plot with a private gravel drive providing parking for several cars. The house enjoys excellent privacy and side access on both flanks, leading to a sun-drenched south easterly facing low maintenance rear garden. This beautifully designed outdoor haven features a large granite patio area and astro turf lawn, ideal for al fresco dining and elegant entertaining. Mature trees along Balure Lane form a tranquil and leafy backdrop, offering the ultimate sense of seclusion.
From the moment you step inside, the interiors make a lasting impression. A grand entrance hall, flooded with natural light and enhanced by porcelain tiled flooring and wainscoting sets the tone for the rest of this impeccable home. At the heart of the home lies a spectacular open-plan kitchen/breakfast room and family room ideal for entertaining on any scale. Double doors from the family room area open onto the garden, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. The bespoke in-frame Nolan kitchen features white marble countertops and splashbacks, a large central island with integrated wine fridge and microwave, and a suite of high-end appliances including a Rangemaster oven with five-ring gas hob. A substantial utility room enhance the practicality of this space, while also maintaining its visual grace.
The ground floor further comprises a magnificent drawing room to the front flowing effortlessly into a formal dining area with double doors to the rear garden. A third reception room, ideal as a sitting room or private library, completes the living space on this level, all finished in exquisite herringbone parquet flooring. A guest WC, finished to a high specification, is also located on this floor.
Upstairs, the first floor offers four luxurious double bedrooms arranged around a spacious landing. Three of the bedrooms are en-suite, while the fourth enjoys access to the main bathroom via Jack-and-Jill doors. The principal bedroom suite is a masterclass in understated luxury, extending from the front to the rear of the home. It includes a large bay window, a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room, and a stunning en-suite with freestanding bath, walk-in shower, and twin vanity units designed to offer a serene sanctuary of comfort and indulgence.
The second floor delivers remarkable flexibility and style. A fifth bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a fully tiled en-suite enjoys natural light through a skylight, making it ideal for guests or older children. A large additional room would be ideal for use as a home office/study or entertainment room and features custom shelving and integrated media units. A particularly charming surprise awaits on the landing, where a concealed doorway opens into a secret storage area with skylight and in turn leads to the large attic space.
While rich in period character—highlighted by ceiling coving, wainscoting, and bay windows—this is a thoroughly modern home behind the scenes. Underfloor heating extends throughout the ground floor. Concrete floors between levels ensure quiet comfort. A central vacuum system adds to the luxury of this home, and rooftop solar panels contribute to the home's remarkable A2 BER energy rating, a rare achievement in a property of this grandeur.
Killiney is one of South Dublin's most refined coastal locations, offering a lifestyle of tranquillity paired with proximity to every modern convenience.
