Description
Perched on an elevated site along the southerly side of Knocknacree Road, Marrakesh is an exceptional detached family home offering uninterrupted 180-degree views across Dublin Bay. Whether bathed in daylight or illuminated by the enchanting twinkle of evening lights, the vista is truly captivating.
This bright and spacious residence is thoughtfully designed for family living, featuring generous reception rooms and five well-proportioned bedrooms. While some modernisation would enhance the home, its enduring charm and prime location suggest that its next owners will be happily settled here for many years to come.
Set behind secure gates, Marrakesh enjoys complete privacy and seclusion. The driveway provides ample off-street parking for up to four cars. The meticulously maintained gardens wrap around the property and are a particular highlight, with vibrant flower beds, mature herbaceous borders, elevated lawns, and a lush canopy of trees providing privacy and a picturesque outlook from nearly every room.
The address needs little introduction—Knocknacree Road is one of Dalkey's most desirable locations. Just a 10-minute stroll brings you to the heart of Dalkey Town, with its charming mix of cafés, shops, restaurants and pubs such as The Guinea Pig, De Ville's, Finnegans & The Queens.
Families will appreciate the proximity to several esteemed schools, including Loreto Abbey, Harold Boys National School, Holy Child Killiney, Castlepark, Rathdown School, and St. Joseph of Cluny. The nearby DART station offers easy access to further top-tier schools in Blackrock and beyond, such as St. Andrew's and St. Michael's.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, the surrounding area offers stunning coastal, and hillside walks at Killiney Hill, Dalkey Hill, Sorrento Park, and Dillon's Park. Nearby swimming spots include Coliemore Harbour, Hawk Cliff, and the iconic Vico bathing place.
Marrakesh is more than just a house—it is a rare opportunity to embrace a lifestyle defined by natural beauty, community charm, and everyday convenience. Accommodation
