Description
A MASTERPIECE OF VICTORIAN ELEGANCE
Mentone is a magnificent double fronted period residence with uninterrupted panoramic sea views from every principal room. This is a stunning private residence situated in a secluded elevated position with 1.4 acres of manicured landscaped gardens designed by Rachel Lamb Garden Design.
This distinguished residence features a stunning Italianate tower and occupies an enviable corner position on Station Road and Military Road. Mentone includes a charming separate cottage in a courtyard setting. Mentone, recently designed by Minnie Peters Interior Design, with structural refurbishment by B&C Building Contractors, seamlessly blends period charm with modern living.
Upon entering through the grand porched entrance with Victorian mosaic tiling, you are welcomed into an exquisite reception hall featuring reclaimed oak flooring and ornate cornicing. The spacious dual aspect living room boasts a large bay window, an arched front window, and a stunning Italianate marble chimneypiece. The cozy snug is designed for comfort with bespoke solid oak panelling, a hidden media unit, a Chesney fuel stove, and elegant book shelving.
The custom-made Andrew Ryan kitchen features a central Island with solid oak countertop, a four oven Aga cooker, a free-standing curved fridge and pantry cupboard and a full height arched window showcasing the sea views. The kitchen also has an adjoining large laundry room which doubles as a pantry and has additional kitchen storage which is maximised when entertaining. The adjoining dining room was designed as an Orangerie to maximise the light and views. The Orangerie is also an area to relax in and watch the ever-changing tides and is designed with an eye level fireplace and exposed beams. The full height French style Crittall doors lead to an outdoor terrace with a fireplace perfect for entertaining.
Upstairs, the principal suite enjoys sweeping views towards Killiney Hill, Dalkey Island and the sea, and has a custom-made dressing room, and a marble-clad en-suite. Three additional bedrooms are designed with bespoke wardrobes and exquisite detailing. A fifth bedroom/home office on the second-floor return provides access to the Italianate tower, offering breathtaking 360-degree panoramic vistas towards Killiney Bay, Dalkey Island, Killiney Hill and the Wicklow mountains.
