BEHIND WROUGHT IRON gates, this coastal home is just moments from Monkstown village on Dublin’s south side. A detached house is both secluded and well-connected in equal measure, making for a truly special property that’s sure to rack up a lot of viewings.
Built in around 2000, this thoughtfully designed home was conceived by renowned designer Alfie Jones. With five bedrooms and four bathrooms, it’s the epitome of functional elegance. From the moment you step through the veranda entrance, the tone is set. Generous proportions, an abundance of natural light and a seamless flow between living spaces become apparent right away.
The entrance hall acts as a central hub, leading into the main reception rooms. A refined sitting room, complete with a marble fireplace and a deep bay window, offers a calming space.
At the heart of the home lies a large kitchen and dining space, no doubt designed with modern families in mind. Bathed in sunlight from its dual-aspect, the room opens directly onto the garden through floor-to-ceiling glass doors. A kitchen island anchors the space, while bespoke cabinetry, granite worktops and a range cooker promise style and practicality. Adjacent, a relaxed family room with a wood-burning stove adds another inviting element to the ground floor.
Throughout the house, subtle architectural details elevate the everyday. Transom windows allow light to travel freely between rooms, while high quality finishes such as solid oak joinery and carefully chosen tiling support the sense of craftsmanship.
Upstairs, the home continues to amaze. Four well-sized bedrooms and a dedicated home office live on the first floor, each thoughtfully designed to maximise light and comfort. The main suite offers a peaceful sanctuary, complete with fitted wardrobes and a bright en suite bathroom.
The top floor reveals a versatile fifth bedroom that’s ideal for guests, older children or could even be a private studio. It also has its own shower room.
Outside, the property comes into its own. To the back, a generous west-facing garden captures the best of the afternoon and evening sun. A broad lawn stretches out from a substantial stone patio, creating a perfect setting for summer parties, and outdoor dining.
Mature planting and high boundaries ensure privacy, while practical features like external storage, a garden shed and parking to the front with EV charging add even more draws.
Positioned within easy reach of the coast and the city, the location is as attractive as the home itself. The nearby village offers a delightful mix of shops, cafés and restaurants, while excellent transport links include the DART and plenty of bus routes.
Families are particularly well served, with a wealth of schools and sports facilities close at hand, making this an address that adapts to every phase of family life.
