Welcome to No. 86 Hollybrook Road, a beautifully renovated red brick period home offering the perfect blend of timeless character and contemporary luxury. Ideally located in the heart of Clontarf, one of Dublin's most sought-after neighbourhoods, this exceptional property is just a short stroll from the vibrant amenities that make this area so desirable and less than 5km from Dublin's bustling city centre. From the moment you step through the carefully restored hall door, there is a warm and inviting entrance hallway, highlighting the home's craftsmanship and attention to detail. Like any successful period renovation, the current owners have managed to pay homage to the original character of the property while creating a home complete with every conceivable modern comfort with an extra flourish through stylish design choices. The two original reception rooms are connected by double doors which slide into a recess to create one seamless living space for entertaining but can also be used separately as originally intended. There is a lovely bay window sliding sash timber framed double glazed windows at one end of the room and a full-length patio door to the courtyard with 'Crittal' window and a glass panel which both serve to allow sunlight to pour in all day. Semi solid engineered oak floors run throughout this space with two cast iron / tile fire surround with bespoke, backlit display cabinets by 'Woodale Design' in both rooms with decorative ceiling coving and centre rose all still intact. The Old and New interact without interruption via the stepped down return, there is a guest WC /shower room under the stairs a purpose-built office / study which overlooks the courtyard and access to the open plan kitchen / sunroom. The architect designed kitchen extension is the centrepiece of this wonderfully well-thought-out family home. A space designed to fulfil any number of requirements that was primarily for the whole family to come together throughout the day. The glass panel windows and doors extend from the herringbone flooring to the 14ft ceilings with direct access to the to the garden. The glass panelling and full width skylight achieve the brief completely which was to connect the house and garden whilst making the most of the sunny aspect. There is an island unit at the heart of the kitchen, handmade, hand painted kitchen from 'Hannaways of Hilltown'.

The kitchen on the opposite wall has units at floor and eye level with a beautifully crafted hidden kitchen larder and double fridge. There is also a suspended wood burning stove which acts as a focal point in the room between the living / dining space and the landscaped garden and patio beyond. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and the main bathroom with additional space for a study / home office on the landing.

The main bedroom also has a feature bay window with a custom-made window seat and from there you can look down Hollybrook Road to the sea.
