Description
Eagle Lodge, thought to have been built around 1850 by Tedcastle Coal Merchants, represents a magnificent Tudor-style residence, situated on one of the most esteemed addresses in the region.
Beyond its captivating exterior, this home unveils refined living spaces, which have been thoughtfully refurbished and expanded to the highest standards. The property underwent a meticulous renovation, extension, and modernisation in June 2022, now offered in turnkey condition. The harmonious fusion of contemporary design and timeless charm is immediately evident, as original features such as ornate cornice work, decorative centre roses, soaring ceilings, and period fireplaces are preserved throughout. These details are seamlessly complemented by modern comforts, creating an exquisite balance of classic elegance and sophisticated convenience. The residence provides a wealth of generously proportioned family living areas alongside grand spaces ideal for entertaining.
A pedestrian and vehicular gate lead you along a path to the front door, ushering you into a spacious reception hall, complete with ample hidden storage and rooms discreetly concealed behind rich timber panelling.
Double doors from the entrance hall open into the expansive, light-filled open-plan kitchen, living, and family room, where a striking marble feature wall with an integrated fire insert serves as a central focal point. Adjacent to the kitchen, a sizable utility and boot room offers abundant storage space and convenient access to the rear granite slab patio.
At the opposite end of the main hall, a concealed room provides an ideal space for a yoga studio or children's TV room. The master bedroom boasts walk-in wardrobes, ample storage, a contemporary en-suite shower room, and doors that open to a private, mature garden. A family bathroom and cloakroom complete the accommodation on this level.
Ascending the staircase, you are greeted by a serene study, a bright and peaceful retreat with a tall bay window offering sweeping views of the gardens along Adelaide Road, extending toward the sea. Adjacent lies the grand reception room, featuring exquisite ceiling cornicing, abundant natural light, a deep bay window at one end, and two additional tall sash windows framing the stunning sea vistas.
At the top of the house, accessible via a minstrel gallery, three additional bedrooms and a convenient WC await.
To the front of the property, the low-maintenance garden showcases an astroturf lawn encircled by mature trees and shrubs. Several patios offer inviting spaces for al fresco dining or quiet moments of relaxation after a busy day.
The location of this home is unparalleled, offering exceptional access to an array of amenities. Leisure facilities abound, with Glenageary Tennis Club just around the corner on Silchester Road, along with nearby rugby and hockey clubs, and maritime recreational options along the coast. Shopping is a pleasure, with Glasthule and Dun Laoghaire offering a wealth of retail options, charming eateries, specialist delicatessens, and bars. Many of South County Dublin's top schools are within easy reach, and excellent transport links ensure seamless daily commutes for the whole family. Accommodation
