Description
5 Marlborough Park is a home with a rare and deeply personal legacy, lovingly maintained by the same family since it was built in 1964. Set on the largest site in Marlborough Park, approximately 0.2 acres, this distinguished residence blends generous proportions, exceptional natural light, and extraordinary potential, all within one of South County Dublin's most sought after coastal neighbourhoods.
A welcoming entrance hall leads to an inner lobby and into the main living spaces, where the beautifully interconnected living room and dining room create an ideal setting for both family life and entertaining. The kitchen and breakfast room overlook the expansive rear garden, while a practical rear lobby incorporates a guest w.c., a large pantry/storage area, and provides direct access to the rear garden. A dual aspect sitting room completes the ground floor, capturing sunlight throughout the day and offering a peaceful retreat.
Upstairs, the first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which are double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate w.c. The large attic offers outstanding scope for conversion, subject to planning permission.
Outside, two driveways provide ample off street parking, one leading to a substantial double garage that itself presents an excellent opportunity for conversion to additional living space. The rear garden is a standout feature, a magnificent 24m (79ft) south facing haven, exceptionally private and perfectly oriented for sunshine from morning to evening. With neighbouring homes having extended to the side, rear, and into the attic, the potential here is truly remarkable, offering endless possibilities to create a substantial contemporary residence while retaining the charm and character of the original home.
The location is simply unmatched. The scenic Sandycove coastline and the iconic Forty Foot swimming spot lie at the end of Adelaide Road, offering a daily connection to sea air, coastal walks, and outdoor swimming. Within a short radius are the vibrant villages of Glasthule and Sandycove, Dalkey Town, and Dún Laoghaire Town Centre, each brimming with boutique shops, cafés, lively bars, and some of the finest restaurants in South County Dublin. Dún Laoghaire Harbour with its promenades, modern Marina, and four prestigious yacht clubs, is just minutes away, while the cycle path links Blackrock Town Centre directly with Sandycove Harbour and the Forty Foot.
Families are exceptionally well served by a selection of highly regarded schools, including The Harold School, Castle Park, Rathdown, Loreto Abbey Dalkey, and CBC Monkstown. Transport links are superb, with frequent bus services and Glenageary DART Station providing swift access to Dublin city centre and beyond. Major routes such as the N11, M50 and the LUAS at Cherrywood are all within easy reach.
Recreational amenities abound, from Glenageary Lawn Tennis Club and Cuala GAA to Dalkey United FC, the People's Park, seafront promenades, Dalkey Hill walks, and a wide range of facilities for swimming, hockey, rugby, and football. This is a location that offers an exceptional quality of life, blending coastal beauty, village charm, and urban convenience. Accommodation
