Description

Welcome to “Skyline" with its spectacular views. This special home is seeking a new owner. Thoughtfully designed by architect Terry O'Connor, this impressive home is uniquely tailored to enhance its magnificent surroundings. To the front, panoramic views of Dublin Bay delight the senses, while to the rear the mountains impress, beyond the mature, secluded gardens. The original stone cottage to the front built in 1932, now houses two double bedrooms with Jack and Jill ensuite bathroom (with incredible views from the bath!) and a spacious attic room, with double home office /space and lounge area. On the same level flowing towards the mountains, the new portion of the house which was recently completed, forms the main bedroom with walk in wardrobe and ensuite shower room, a third double bedroom and a very practical, large utility, mud room and storage area. An enclosed courtyard has double-door access from two of the double bedrooms. This home has been designed to take full advantage of it's spectacular surroundings. The elevated living space embraces a creative double height “butterfly” ceiling structure. It uses clever angles to ensure that the outlook to the front, and to the back are fully maximised. Glazing which encompasses part of the ceiling overhangs the perfect window seat to enjoy the sunrise over Dublin City with your coffee in hand. The back wall of the house is fully glazed and the roof line follows the contours of the garden as it sweeps towards the mountains behind. In addition, there is also a guest bedroom or home office opening out onto the garden at this level along with a shower room and large pantry. Quality and high specification are synonymous with this fine home as the luxurious finishes and comfort are evident in the detail. There is underfloor heating throughout. Bathrooms have been finished to a very high standard including Grohe fixtures, Duravit porcelain, top of the range tiling and a Whirlpool Spa bath from which to enjoy the spectacular views. Equally, the remainder of the residence boasts solid oak flooring, doors and architraves along with bespoke cabinetry. The low-energy spec of this home: super insulated building fabric; MVHR; solar and underfloor heating provide a high level of comfort all-year-round. A description of this home must include the magnificent mature gardens to the rear built over three levels, providing a feast for the senses. Architectural planting has been carefully curated over the years including many different species of Japanese maples, flowering blossom trees, apple trees and alliums bloom throughout the months, ensuring year-round interest. Adjacent the living room double doors slide open to invite the outside in and in essence, double the entertaining space. A granite pathway leads you to the next level, where the kitchen garden comes into view. This is a growing area for herbs, fruit and vegetables to satisfy all your culinary needs! There is also a practical steel shed to store all of your garden tools and suchlike. The upper level, “The Druids grove”, has a firepit and seating area that encapsulate some of the best views over Dublin Bay. A winding pathway takes those who enjoy hiking up into the Dublin mountains and a great source of firewood! This fabulous location has the best of both worlds, a rural setting yet only minutes drive to Dundrum Town Centre, Stepaside & Sandyford Villages and public transport. Stepaside Village is the closest shop at just 1.4km away along with many other amenities. The landmark Blue Light and Johnny Fox's Pubs are within easy distance those who fancy some pub grub or an evening tipple. The 44b bus serves the road and the 47 is walking distance away.
