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.

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.

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.
