Description
An exquisite Victorian villa of timeless elegance and contemporary luxury securely nestled behind solid timber sliding electric gates, 70 Albert Road Lower is a truly exceptional home that blends period grandeur with contemporary sophistication.
From the moment you arrive, the sense of exclusivity is unmistakable. Granite steps ascend to a stately hall door, while a sweeping gravel driveway offers ample off-street parking, all framed by mature hedging and architectural symmetry. The refined interiors over two light-filled levels of this elegant property are a masterclass in design and natural light. Spanning approximately 156sq.m (1,679sq.ft), the accommodation is both versatile and beautifully presented.
On the upper level, the welcoming entrance hall opens to a breathtaking dual-aspect kitchen and dining room, bathed in light and seamlessly connected to a raised deck area overlooking the rear garden. Ideal for both grand entertaining and day-to-day living, this space is the heart of the home. Two bedrooms, including one currently arranged as a kid's playroom, and a bathroom complete this floor. The garden level unfolds into a superbly proportioned dual aspect living/family room/bespoke home office, offering flexibility for relaxing or hosting. This level also features two additional spacious bedrooms, a shower room, a fully equipped utility room, and convenient under-stair storage area. Full planning permission has been approved for a new one and two-storey extension to the rear of approximately 74sq.m. (797sq.ft.) and a garden pavilion of approximately 47sq.m. (506sq.ft.) to the end of the rear garden including a games room, home office, shower room and store area.
Set on approx. 0.18 acres, the south-facing rear garden is a tranquil retreat extending to approximately 45m (148ft) in length. Lush lawns, mature planting, and strategically placed patios invite al fresco dining and serene moments throughout the day. At the garden's end, a beautifully finished Shomera fitted with electricity offers endless possibilities—as a creative studio, home gym, or remote workspace.
This is an enviable coastal address and a privileged setting just moments from the charming coastal villages of Sandycove and Glasthule, and Dalkey Town. Enjoy artisan cafés, gourmet dining, designer boutiques, and a host of highly regarded schools all within walking distance. Exceptional connectivity is a hallmark of this location, with both Sandycove & Glasthule and Glenageary DART stations just a short stroll away, providing swift access to Dublin City. Families will appreciate the proximity to an excellent selection of primary and secondary schools including Castle Park, Harold National School, and Loreto Abbey Dalkey.
From invigorating coastal walks and hikes over Dalkey and Killiney Hills, to sailing at Dún Laoghaire's four yacht clubs and marina, the area offers an abundance of recreational pursuits. Nearby tennis, golf, and GAA clubs further enhance the active lifestyle this home so effortlessly supports.
