Description
Sherry FitzGerald is delighted to present Riverglen, a truly exceptional double-fronted detached residence of immense elegance and distinction, set amid approximately 0.8 acres of exquisitely landscaped grounds in one of North Wicklow's most sought-after residential settings between Delgany and Greystones. Combining timeless architectural style with luxurious contemporary living, Riverglen is an exceptional residence dating from the 1940s, which has been thoughtfully and sensitively transformed to achieve an impressive B2 energy rating, seamlessly combining the comforts and efficiencies required for modern living with refined classical elegance to create a home of true distinction. This fine property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home of remarkable quality and privacy, just moments from the vibrant coastal amenities of Greystones Town and the quaintness pf Delgany Village.
Approached through electric security gates onto an expansive cobble-lock driveway, Riverglen immediately impresses with its commanding presence and beautifully manicured gardens. Internally, the home extends to generously proportioned accommodation where light, space and craftsmanship are evident throughout. From the moment one steps through the impressive entrance, the calibre of finish is unmistakable, with elegant marble tiled flooring, soaring ceiling heights, decorative cornicing and bespoke joinery combining to create a home of warmth and refinement.
The principal reception rooms are wonderfully designed for both formal entertaining and relaxed family living. The elegant living room centres around a striking marble fireplace and flows through double glass-panelled doors into an exceptionally spacious conservatory overlooking the gardens beyond. This in turn opens into a superb entertainment suite complete with snooker room and bespoke bar area, ideal for hosting on both an intimate and grand scale.
At the heart of the home lies a magnificent Clive Christian handcrafted kitchen fitted with integrated appliances, marble worktops and extensive bespoke cabinetry. The kitchen seamlessly connects with the triple-aspect dining room and generous family room, where an exposed brick fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. A separate room, fifth bedroom/fitness room, with custom fitted cabinetry, adjoining steam room facilities, utility room and guest w.c., complete the impressive ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the luxurious principal suite enjoys a beautifully appointed dressing room and elegant en suite bathroom. A second en suite double bedroom together with two further spacious bedrooms, a large family shower room and a dedicated study/home office with fitted cabinetry provide excellent versatility for modern family life and hybrid working requirements.
The true jewel in the crown is undoubtedly the magnificent south-facing rear garden, an extraordinary private sanctuary extending to approximately 190 feet in width. Wonderfully mature and impeccably maintained, the grounds are laid predominantly in manicured lawn and framed by colourful flower beds, specimen planting, rockeries, an ornamental pond with charming feature bridge and traditional lamp post lighting. Generous patio areas and the sun terrace provide ideal spaces for outdoor entertaining and relaxation, while a charming pond, putting green, car port and block-built garden store further enhance this exceptional outdoor setting. The gardens offer complete seclusion and tranquillity, creating a remarkable and seamless extension of the living accommodation and a lifestyle rarely found so close to a thriving town centre.
Riverglen enjoys an unrivalled location within easy reach of the many amenities now synonymous with the thriving Greystones and Delgany lifestyle. Three beaches, a harbour / marina, artisan cafés, award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping and scenic coastal walks are all nearby, together with an excellent selection of highly regarded primary and secondary schools. Sporting and leisure facilities are exceptional, including golf, sailing, rugby, tennis, soccer, GAA and the Shoreline pool & leisure facilities. Commuters are exceptionally well catered for with the DART, TFI bus and easy access to the N11/M50 corridor, while the continued evolution of the locality as one of Ireland's most desirable coastal communities further underlines the enduring appeal of this outstanding home.
