Description
Originally built in the 1840s, this Victorian gate lodge was significantly extended in the 1980s and completely refurbished & remodelled in 2024 under the advice of a local conservation architect. This secluded property blends architectural heritage with a stylish modern interior, beautiful exterior gardens and wonderful views of Killiney Hill, Killiney Bay and Dalkey Island.
The 2024 renovations included roof repairs, external and internal insulation as well as new heating, windows, doors, electrics, plumbing, fixtures and fittings and total redecoration. Externally a new driveway, decking area to rear, and garden were installed.
The house is decorated in neutral colours throughout with light flooding in through windows. Custom-made fixtures and fittings provide a simple clean flow throughout the house. The main accommodation is comprised of entrance porch, two reception rooms and an open plan kitchen extending onto a decked garden with exceptional views. The inner hallway leads through to two double bedrooms and one single bedroom with handmade fitted wardrobes, a family shower room and an ensuite shower room. The accommodation is completed through outside access by a double door storage area. The house has front access with potential for a side access up to the rear garden.
To the front a gravelled driveway, with space for two cars, is complemented by an EV charger connected to a night meter for exceptionally good value motoring. To the rear is a viewing deck with unique vistas, a small grass lawn area, decorative planting and a boundary laurel hedge perfect for secluded al fresco dining.
Oakdene Lodge is located on the much sought-after Saintbury Avenue connecting Killiney Hill Road, via Kilmore Avenue, onto Strand Road with pedestrian and car access to Killiney beach. Less than a 5-minute walk to the DART, a short drive to the M50 and Cherrywood LUAS this home is well connected. Killiney Village and Dalkey's Heritage Town are close by with Dun Laoghaire, Glasthule and Monkstown nearby too. This picture-perfect house, with clear views of Killiney Hill's Obelisk, is nestled below the famous viewing point of international renown.
Schools (Holy Child Killiney, Loreto Dalkey, Castle Park, and Rathdown Co-Ed School), shops, local villages, beautiful Killiney Hill Park and Killiney Bay all surround this home. The famous Fitzpatrick Castle hotel is a quick stroll for a drink, a game of Padel or their extensive leisure facilities. This home is perfect for avid cyclists, walkers or runners as well as those who want to spend time on Killiney Bay paddle-boarding, kayaking, sea swimming and availing of the highly recommended beach sauna.
