ATHGARVAN IS AN exceptional Edwardian red-brick house that brings timeless architecture right into the 21st century. Beautifully restored and extended, this property combines period grandeur with bespoke contemporary design, all set on a private quarter of an acre.
From the moment you step through the stained-glass entrance, it’s clear this is no ordinary home. The original charm of the early 1900s has been lovingly preserved, with intricate coving, soaring ceilings, working shutters and marble fireplaces gracing the interconnecting reception rooms. These are balanced by modern touches that run throughout the home – carefully chosen finishes, luxurious bathrooms and a super open plan kitchen with living and dining area.
Spanning about 286 m² – and this doesn’t include the attic, garden room and store room – the layout is designed for modern family life. The ground floor flows effortlessly from the formal living spaces to the kitchen: a bespoke design by Andrew Ryan featuring stone worktops, a generous island, integrated Bosch and Siemens appliances and large sash and picture windows that frame the stunning garden.
This sunken family living area with vaulted ceilings and Velux roof lights opens directly to the garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out. A Kingstar wood-burning stove and warm timber flooring add a homely feel, while the clever architectural design ensures light floods every corner.
Upstairs, the main suite is a serene retreat, complete with a vast walk-in dressing room, vaulted ceilings and an en suite bathroom finished with Villeroy & Boch fittings.
Three more double bedrooms, each with their own character, are supported by two luxurious bathrooms across the upper floors. A fifth bedroom or home office, and a beautifully converted attic room offering panoramic views over Dublin Bay and Howth, complete the upper levels.
Outside is the real showstopper – a spectacular 220 foot back garden, designed by Bloom gold medallist Andrew Christopher Dunne and realised by Silverstream Landscapes. Mature planting provides complete privacy while various zones, including two terraces with gas fires, create perfect settings for outdoor entertaining. A contemporary garden room, ideal as a gym, studio or office, enhances the flexibility of this outdoor haven.
Other features include a large utility room, a well-equipped store room, a spacious front garden with secure off-street parking for several cars, an electric car charging point and discreet bin storage. All in all, this is a true dream home that encapsulates luxury living on Dublin’s south side.
