Period charmer witha modern facelift
A south county stunner
Described as a ‘magnificent villa style residence’ by agents Savills, the price tag on this house reflects the quality of the house’s refurbishment 12 years ago as much as it does its location, in the affluent suburb of Sandycove in south Dublin.
Stretching to 1,800sq.ft/ 167sq.m over three levels, the house was extended to one side to allow for a new switchback staircase which opened up the building to a more luxurious layout.
The entrance-level hallway leads to interconnected living and dining rooms with recessed ceiling lights and hardwood floors.
The kitchen-breakfast room to the rear has a decked balcony giving access to the garden via French doors, with views over the rear garden. The kitchen itself consists of fitted cherrywood cabinets with granite work top.
Downstairs at garden level are
Kaelista, Lower Albert Road, Sandycove, Co. Dublin
three double bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms, and a family bathroom. And a mezzanine level is currently laid out as a family room with eave storage but there is also an en-suite and it could be used for a guest bedroom.
Other features of the house include underfloor heating, coaleffect gas fireplaces and electric gated side entrance.
The secluded rear garden can also be approached from the rear double bedroom and from the side parking area. The garden itself is finished in gravel with a flagstone patio.
The Dart is nearby and Dalkey, with its scenic walks, and Dún Laoghaire, with its yacht clubs and pier, are both within easy reach.
