Description
Beautifully positioned on an 0.5-acre site of elevated sun-drenched gardens is this remarkable detached residence which has breathtaking sea views from Wicklow across Dublin Bay as far as the Mourne mountains on a clear day. The Peak is an imposing detached period home dating back to approx. 1840. The house is listed in the “Mountains to the Sea” as one of the first houses built on Mullins Hill with a northern aspect. The result is a choice site with a view of Dublin city and bay that is unbeatable. Even when sitting in the reception rooms there is a clear view of the city and bay. A second feature is the peace and quiet of the location. The neighbouring houses are well to the side and do not impinge in any way on the house and garden. This superb and charming home of distinction is filled with light from the east aspect especially the morning sunrise. The sun setting to the west gives a spectacular view of the brightening city lights contrasting with the darkening blue of the bay. The property, which is laid out over two levels, has retained many original features such as gracious room proportions, high ceiling heights, ornate ceiling cornicing and coving, and original fireplaces to name but a few. The drawing room with its original floorboards, dual aspect, fireplace, and views is one of the finest you will come across. The beautifully appointed accommodation provides a wonderful balance between reception and bedroom accommodation. The heart of the home is at the lower garden level where the kitchen/family room merge seamlessly into the adjoining, dining room and drawing room. To the rear of the house there is a bright and airy sunroom which enjoys an abundance of natural light and leads out to the rear garden. There is a large playroom/ games room and a wonderful storage area with a boot/laundry/ shower room providing superb extra space which is often lacking in period homes. The gardens are as impressive as the house itself and extend to approx. 0.5 of an acre with exquisitely planted flower beds, an expansive lawn, fruit trees, and a spacious forecourt with excellent parking. The main gardens enjoy a south easterly orientation and are well stocked with a selection of mature plants and shrubs. There is a private patio area which is not overlooked and enjoys a pleasant outlook over the grounds. Approached off a private road, the property offers the utmost in seclusion. Yet it is just a short walk to Killiney Hill, Killiney Beach and DART Station. Dalkey Town, with its host of excellent amenities is a short drive away. The M50 is easily accessed, providing ease of access to the airport and beyond. There are a host of excellent primary and secondary schools in the area. Viewing highly recommended.
