Ard Aoibhinn, a five-bed home in popular Dundrum on the outskirts of Dublin city centre, is a lesson in mixing vintage and modern features.
Situated on the Taney Road, this unique home invites you to step back in time. With its lush gardens, spacious interiors and super attention to detail, Ard Aoibhinn is a piece of history waiting to be explored.
Dating to 1936, Ard Aoibhinn still nods to its Art Deco heritage. Set on expansive grounds spanning .4 acres, this detached building has undergone a smart renovation and has brought it up to date while preserving its vintage appeal.
The interiors of Ard Aoibhinn seamlessly blend old-world design with contemporary convenience. The entrance hall, adorned with semi-solid oak wood flooring, sets the tone for the rest of the house — a series of beautifully appointed reception rooms, each with its own unique character. Whether it’s the bright drawing room with its bay window overlooking the gardens or the open plan kitchen area, every space is a delight.
The open plan area is a true masterpiece of design and functionality. This expansive space features a family room, home office, sunroom, dining room and a stunning kitchen — all bathed in natural light streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows. With granite worktops, a gas range and integrated appliances, the kitchen is a chef’s dream come true. The adjoining dining area offers the perfect setting for intimate gatherings and larger dinner parties.
Upstairs, every bedrooms is a spacious double and two have their own bathrooms. The remaining three share the large family bathroom.
Step outside into the landscaped gardens of Ard Aoibhinn and you’ll discover plenty of beautiful touches. Bordered by lush greenery and dotted with specimen trees, the garden is a retreat from the busy capital.
Located just a short walk from the Dundrum LUAS stop and Dundrum Village, Ard Aoibhinn offers the best of both worlds. With easy access to the M50 and a wealth of amenities nearby — including shops, restaurants and schools — this historic home is modern family living with a true twist. For those seeking a home that’s both timeless and modern, Ard Aoibhinn is a rare find.
