“No house should ever be on a hill or on anything….. It should be of the hill……….. Belonging to it…….Hill and house should live together each the happier for the other”…..Frank Lloyd Wright. “Ard Na Ri” is a modern split level home extending to an impressive 291 sq m / 3,131 sq ft. It is laid out over several wonderful floors hovering above a spectacular elevated site, with breath-taking panoramic views of Dublin Bay. Originating from the mid 1970’s the present owners undertook an extensive modernising project which has evolved over the past decade. Apart from the usual improvements one might expect to find in a home of this stature, the installation of a timber clad lift shaft to whisk you from the secure, gated parking area up to the house itself, has the dramatic effect of preparing everyone for something really special to be revealed……….. Its original architect must have been captivated by the spell binding views of Dublin Bay and it is believed that inspiration was drawn from Frank Lloyd Wrights , “Falling Water” to create the origins of the home that exists here today. Featured on the cover of Times magazine in 1938, “Falling Water” is now a national historic landmark and is widely accepted as the home that set the standard for modern architecture, all those years ago. It is fair to state that most homes of uniquely similar and interesting designs are inspired by the site they occupy and the surroundings they enjoy. This is one of those inspirational homes that comes along once in a lifetime. From its elevated position it enjoys the most breath taking views of Dublin Bay along with a perfect south westerly sunny aspect. Access to the house can be taken via the lift or by a winding set of stone steps leading up through the terraced front garden. Inside, viewers will be greeted by wide generously proportioned rooms filled with an abundance of natural light and all will be drawn towards the wide picture windows framing the mesmerising vista outside. The views are wonderful by day and spell-binding by night, as the city’s sky line twinkles from dusk. The accommodation briefly comprises a fine reception hall, an open plan kitchen cum dining cum living area with access via sliding doors to a grand outside terrace, a family room, 5 ensuite bedrooms with the main bedroom enjoying access to its own terrace , a good sized home office, a guest bathroom and a separate laundry room. There is ample outside terraces for relaxing and entertaining and a good sized rear garden with a lawned area and planted borders. Viewing is essential and recommended to fully appreciate the unique character and inspirational location of this remarkable home.
