Description
An exceptional four-storey period residence offering elegant accommodation, superb versatility and an enviable coastal setting on one of Sandycove’s most sought-after addresses. Hillbrook is a beautifully presented four-storey period residence extending to approximately 283 sq.m (3,046 sq.ft.), ideally positioned on the highly regarded Burdett Avenue, just moments from the Forty Foot, Sandycove Beach and the picturesque villages of Glasthule and Dalkey. Behind its handsome façade lies a home of remarkable character, where a wealth of original period features, including ornate cornicing, decorative ceiling roses, marble fireplaces, timber shutters and elegant sash windows, have been carefully preserved and complemented by a thoughtful programme of modern upgrades. The principal residence has been comprehensively refurbished and is presented in true turn-key condition, combining timeless period elegance with contemporary comfort. A particularly unique feature of Hillbrook is the spacious self-contained two-bedroom garden level apartment, which is presented in excellent condition throughout. Providing exceptional flexibility, it is ideally suited for a variety of uses including independent living, guest accommodation or additional rental income potential. Alternatively, for those seeking a larger single residence, the property could, with relative ease, be converted back into one substantial home, creating an impressive period residence of considerable scale. The accommodation is exceptionally well proportioned, with elegant reception rooms and generous living spaces arranged across the principal residence. The impressive dining room retains its period charm with parquet flooring, timber panelling and an original marble fireplace, while the bespoke Rhatigan & Hick kitchen forms the heart of the home, featuring premium cabinetry, a large central island, Britannia range cooker and direct access to the private rear garden. The property provides five generously proportioned bedrooms, each with its own beautifully appointed en-suite shower room. Four of the bedrooms are positioned across the upper levels of the residence, while a further bedroom is conveniently located below kitchen level. There is also a stylish main bathroom, utility room and an elegant drawing room with open fireplace. Several of the upper-level bedrooms enjoy delightful views towards Dublin Bay, further enhancing the exceptional coastal setting. At garden level, the self-contained apartment provides comfortable accommodation comprising a spacious living/dining room, separate kitchen, two double bedrooms and a modern shower room. Well maintained throughout, it offers excellent flexibility and complements the principal residence perfectly. Outside, the private rear garden provides a wonderful retreat, featuring a raised timber deck, gravelled seating area, planted bed and the significant advantage of pedestrian access to the rear lane way. An increasingly valuable feature for a terraced property. To the front, the gated west-facing garden provides an attractive approach, with the potential to create off-street parking, subject to the necessary planning permission. Burdett Avenue is one of Sandycove’s most desirable residential addresses, offering an exceptional coastal lifestyle with some of South County Dublin’s finest amenities close by. Morning swims at the Forty Foot, walks along the seafront, coffee in Glasthule, boutique shopping in Dalkey and dining in some of the area’s renowned restaurants can all become part of everyday life. The location is further enhanced by an outstanding choice of schools, excellent recreational facilities, DART connectivity from nearby stations, convenient access to the M50 and regular transport links to Dublin Airport. Combining timeless period architecture, meticulous presentation and outstanding versatility, Hillbrook represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special residence in the heart of Sandycove. Whether retained as two separate residences or thoughtfully converted back into one impressive home, Hillbrook offers exceptional flexibility and enduring appeal in one of Dublin’s most coveted coastal locations.
