Victorian villa with a high-tech makeover in the heart of Blackrock

Built in 1838, the five-bed is now a thoroughly modern family home.

CARYSFORT AVENUE IN Blackrock is home to plenty of stunning homes, but No 40 is a real standout.

Spanning 265 sq m/2852 sq ft, the Victorian villa was extended and remodelled in 2011. Now, it combines gorgeous period features with high-end tech, including CCTV, solar panels and integrated surround sound audio.

The light-filled hallway surprises from the outset, with an integrated aquarium greeting you. As for the fashionable kitchen, it boasts fitted appliances and storage from Blackrock Kitchens, and has a generous amount of space for cooking, dining and entertaining.

Most of the property’s Victorian elements are on the first floor, with picture windows, coving and high ceilings in most rooms on that level.

Elsewhere on this floor, there’s a secluded living/entertainment room, with a projector and surround sound.

There’s a playroom downstairs and a study upstairs, both of which could be converted if the new owners desire. One of the five bedrooms is currently in use as a dressing room, so there’s plenty of space for a large family who appreciate the finer things in life.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are large and bright: the main bedroom features a funky mirrored panel, as well as a beautiful en-suite bathroom.

The gardens of the property deserve a mention, too; they’re finely landscaped, and are best enjoyed from the sunny sandstone patio area.

Carysfort Avenue is a ten-minute walk from Blackrock village and all its amenities, and another 15 minutes will bring you to the bright and beautiful beach at Seapoint.

For those working in the city centre, there’s an excellent Dublin Bus and DART route that runs regularly.

40 Carysfort Avenue, Blackrock, Co. Dublin is on sale for €1,550,000 from Sherry FitzGerald Blackrock via Daft.ie.

The property is open for viewing this Saturday, March 24th from 11-11:45am.
