Description
A rare opportunity presents itself to acquire a truly outstanding family residence, set within a small and exclusive enclave just off Church Road in Killiney, one of South Dublin's most desirable residential suburbs. Close to the charming villages of Killiney, Dalkey, Sandycove, and Glasthule, this location is rich in amenities, offering a perfect blend of convenience and lifestyle.
2 Balure is a striking example of contemporary design and high-end craftsmanship and we believe one of the highest specification timber-framed homes built in Dublin in recent years. No expense has been spared in the creation of this dream home, which offers approximately 374 sq. m. of impeccably designed, luxurious accommodation with exceptional flow and finish.
The current owners have curated an elegant and functional ground floor layout, ideal for both everyday family life and stylish entertaining. The attention to detail is evident from the moment you step into the spacious entrance hall, where high ceilings and generously proportioned rooms create an immediate sense of grandeur. Beautifully crafted interiors, reminiscent of period-style elegance, are balanced with the sophistication of modern living.
Arranged over three expansive levels, this home offers exceptional versatility and space for a growing family. The ground floor features an impressive series of interconnecting reception rooms, including a magnificent drawing room with a deep bay window and a stunning marble fireplace that opens into a secondary reception room, currently used as a home office. The open-plan kitchen/dining/living area is at the heart of the home—linked by folding double doors, this space features a bespoke in-frame Nolan kitchen with a large central island, fully equipped to meet the demands of modern living. There is a spacious utility room , a stylish guest WC with wainscoting and a welcoming family room complete the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor, a generous landing leads to four spacious double bedrooms, three of which are ensuite. The fourth bedroom enjoys Jack-and-Jill access to a beautifully appointed family bathroom. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring a large walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious ensuite bathroom with marble finishes, a deep bath, and a walk-in shower.
The second floor offers further flexibility, comprising a large multi-purpose room and a fifth ensuite bedroom, along with excellent storage solutions, including extensive eaves access and a cleverly designed luggage nook with a skylight and additional hidden storage.
Approached via remote-controlled electric gates, No. 2 Balure sits on a private gravelled driveway with parking for up to three cars. The property is well detached and enjoys side access on both sides through wooden gates to the stunning, sun-filled south-facing rear garden. This tranquil outdoor space includes a generous granite patio—ideal for al fresco dining—and a garden room discreetly positioned along the eastern boundary. The rear garden enjoys a peaceful, leafy backdrop as it adjoins the mature trees of Balure Lane.
The location speaks for itself. Killiney and Dalkey are just minutes away, offering a wide array of boutique shops, restaurants, cafes, and leisure amenities. Highly regarded schools such as Holy Child Killiney, Loreto Dalkey, and St. Gerard's are all within easy reach, with further options including Blackrock College, St. Michael's, and St. Andrew's accessible via the nearby DART station at Killiney.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Killiney Beach and the scenic walking trails of Killiney and Dalkey Hills.
Excellent transport links, including the N11 and M50, provide swift access to Dublin Airport and the wider national road network.
