IF YOU’RE SEARCHING for a reimagined period home that retains its historic charm while embracing 21st-century living, look no further than 6 Sorrento Road. Set in the picturesque coastal village of Dalkey, which has long been favoured by high-profile residents and the occasional Hollywood visitor (hello, Brad Pitt), this beautiful home has been comprehensively refurbished to a high standard.
With a floor area of about 185 m², it now has a healthy A2 BER while retaining the elegance and proportions that define homes of its era.
From the moment you step inside, the sense of space is unmistakable. Soaring ceiling heights of around three metres, classic sash windows and finely detailed coving lend a gracious atmosphere, while plenty of natural light enhances the home’s calm, welcoming feel. Every element has been carefully considered to balance character with modern living.
At the heart of the house lies a striking open plan kitchen, dining and living space, designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. Bespoke cabinetry, premium integrated appliances and sleek stone surfaces create a refined yet practical kitchen, centred around a generous island with social seating. Overhead, large skylights flood the space with daylight, while floor-to-ceiling bi-folding doors open directly onto the garden, blurring the line between indoors and out.
Throughout the home, modern technology works quietly in the background. An air-to-water heat pump, underfloor heating at ground level and a smart air filtration system ensure year-round comfort and excellent energy efficiency. Double-glazed windows and doors further enhance the home’s performance, making it as future-ready as it is beautiful.
Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress. The main bedroom is a calm, generously proportioned retreat with fitted wardrobes and a stylish en suite shower room. Two further bedrooms, both well-sized and fitted with storage, are served by a contemporary family bathroom finished with high-quality sanitary ware and elegant detailing. Each space has been designed with comfort, light and longevity in mind.
The garden itself is thoughtfully designed for low maintenance, providing a private outdoor retreat without the demands of constant upkeep. It’s ideal for relaxed evenings, weekend brunches or simply enjoying the coastal air. To the front, off-street parking for one car adds valuable convenience, complemented by ample on-street parking nearby and provision for an EV charger.
Situated in the very centre of Dalkey, the house is just a minute’s walk from the DART station, placing the city centre within easy reach. Dalkey’s renowned cafés, restaurants, pubs and specialist shops are quite literally on the doorstep, while Coliemore Harbour and the surrounding seafront are only a short stroll away. For those who enjoy the outdoors, nearby coastal walks and the hills of Dalkey and Killiney offer some of the most scenic routes in the county.
Blending period elegance with cutting-edge efficiency and the ease of village-centre living, and set in an area long favoured by notable residents, this Dalkey home is an exceptional house to hit the market.
6 Sorrento Road, Dalkey, Co. Dublin is on the market for €2,000,000 through Lisney Sotheby’s.
