Nestled in the heart of one of South Dublin's most coveted neighbourhoods, this residence offers a rare combination of elegant design, technological sophistication, environmental performance (B1 BER), and everyday practicality. Discreetly positioned within walking distance of the sea, this stunning home benefits from seamless access to Glasthule village, Sandycove, Dalkey and Dún Laoghaire — and is surrounded by some of the finest schools in the country.
Fully reimagined and remodelled in 2018 by award-winning architects, the property exudes precision, style, and contemporary comfort. It showcases a striking design aesthetic, with luxurious reclaimed Rhodesian teak herringbone parquet floors downstairs, natural oiled oak flooring upstairs, and an abundance of natural light throughout.
This home is built to last with premium finishes and cutting-edge performance. The triple-glazed Josko windows (Ug value of 0.6 W/m²K), solar panels, advanced demand-controlled ventilation system, volcano high-output vertical radiators, and daylight-maximising extensions make this home as efficient as it is beautiful.
