“This beautiful home, positioned directly across the road from the world-famous Finnegan’s bar and restaurant, was originally built in the early 19th century but completely and sympathetically refurbished in 2007.
“Despite being finished to a very high modern standard, the property possesses a tremendous sense of period elegance and quality due to the current owners’ determination and taste.”
It is located in the very heart of Dalkey and is nearby to all of Dalkey’s host of amenities including shopping, restaurants, cafes, wine bars, schools, and a transit railway into Dublin.
The neighbourhood has beautiful walks and scenery with Dalkey and Killiney Hills a short walk from Sorrento Road, as well as a range of marine activities including the yacht clubs in nearby Dun Laoghaire.
Dublin City centre is approximately 9 miles away and it is a 10-minute drive to the M50 at exit 16 providing ease of access to the airport and to the rest of Ireland.
The four-bedroom home measures approximately 195m2 (2,100 ft2) and opens onto a grand entrance hall with a vaulted ceiling, pediment door frames, period coving and French Chateau flagstone flooring.
It features high double doors to the right into a Drawing room with a vaulted ceiling, an open fire, Grecian ionic marble fireplace, classic crystal chandeliers and centrepieces, reclaimed wooden flooring and a formal dining area to the rear.
Across the hall there is a ground floor bedroom 3 with marble fireplace, reclaimed wooden flooring, vaulted ceiling, pendant chandelier and ‘Rostrevor’ centrepiece leading into a ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom/wet room with open shower, traditional style WC with high-level cistern chain/pull and WHB, Italian natural stone floors and walls, reclaimed antique bath, vaulted ceiling, roof light and panel glazed doors, according to the listing agent.
Double doors with stained glass panelling lead from the hallway into a light-filled Victorian salvage and fully integrated kitchen/living and casual dining area with a double Belfast sink, panelled walls and French chateau flagstone flooring throughout. A service hatch with stained glass panelling between the period-styled bar and the Drawing room complements this living area. Double door access to the rear study/snug room (or bedroom 4) with chateau flagstone and wooden panelling leading onto a utility room with WC, Belfast sink and floors and walls tiled in Antica Italian stone.
A mahogany and spiral spindle staircase leads to the 1st-floor landing with access to the main bedroom and second bedroom (and access to excellent eave storage). The floors and walls of ensuites to both upstairs bedrooms are tiled in Italian natural stone and the main bedroom itself also has Italian stone flooring with French double doors leading onto a south-facing balcony with ornate wrought iron railing.
All bathrooms and ensuites have heated towel rails, power showers and underfloor heating. Interior and exterior walls are solid stone, some up to 3ft in width, and all exterior windows are double-glazed ‘Marvin’ windows. Further, a Sonos digital music system is piped throughout the house with invisible in-ceiling speakers.
