FOR ANYONE WITH Dublin 4 on their house-hunting radar, no doubt the area of Donnybrook has come up regularly on their search. Walking distance from the city centre and full of elegant homes, it’s no wonder why it’s often regarded as one of Dublin 4’s most coveted areas to live in.
Tucked away on a tree-lined enclave, 1 Donnybrook Close is a more modern home in this area known for its period homes, this detached house is one of just six homes on a quiet cul-de-sac.
This home’s facade is understated yet elegant and has mature planting at the front that frames the gravelled driveway. Inside, the home spans 149 m², with interiors that are well-maintained and cleverly arranged.
Natural light plays a large role throughout the house as it plays with the sense of space and highlights the high quality finishes. This home feels luxurious and welcoming, ideal for relaxed family life as well as entertaining.
