IN THE HEART of the thriving coastal village of Donabate, Hawthorne is a striking example of contemporary family living done well. Extending to about 265 m and arranged across three beautifully designed floors, this five-bed detached home combines scale, style and sustainability in good measure.
From its handsome stone-clad exterior to its carefully considered interior layout, Hawthorne makes a super first impression. Inside, the sense of space is immediately clear. The entrance hall sets the tone, leading to a beautifully proportioned living room and a separate family room that offers flexibility for both formal entertaining and relaxed evenings at home.
At the centre of the house lies a superb open plan kitchen and dining area. Vaulted ceilings elevate the space, while a feature breakfast bar provides an informal gathering point for busy mornings or sociable evenings. The adjoining sunroom invites natural light to pour in, creating a connection between indoors and out.
Throughout the property, premium finishes are dotted throughout the home. Recessed lighting, surround sound and a high-specification central vacuum system reflect a thoughtful approach to comfort and convenience. A separate laundry room further enriches everyday practicality.
Importantly, the property carries a B energy rating, ensuring efficient performance and reduced bill costs, which is invaluable for environmentally conscious buyers seeking long-term sustainability.
The upper floors are intelligently arranged to balance family living with privacy.
On the first floor, four generously sized bedrooms provide excellent space. The main suite enjoys an en suite bathroom, while a second bedroom also benefits from private facilities. A spacious family bathroom serves the remaining rooms, and a guest toilet on the ground floor completes the home’s four-bathroom offering.
The top floor forms a peaceful retreat. Here, the fifth bedroom is complemented by a dedicated walk-in wardrobe and access to another bathroom. A private home office occupies this level too making for an ideal solution for remote working, creativity or study. More attic storage ensures clutter is kept out of sight.
To the back, the property reveals one of its most compelling feature, a large, south-facing garden designed for both relaxation and entertaining. Mature trees provide privacy and a sense of established tranquillity, while a generous cobble-lock patio creates the perfect setting for summer dining and evenings outdoors.
To the front, a spacious driveway provides ample off-street parking, framed by the home’s distinctive stone façade.
Hawthorne enjoys an enviable setting in Donabate, one of North County Dublin’s most popular residential hubs. This vibrant peninsula village offers a blend of coastal charm and commuter convenience as you’re just minutes from Donabate beach and your pick of public transport links to the city.
Hawthorne epitomises substantial, energy-efficient family homes. With its expansive accommodation, refined finishes and beautifully oriented garden, it guarantees a lifestyle that is as practical as it is aspirational.
