Colour me impressed: Exotic gardens meet eclectic design at this €1.45m south Dublin home
Mutiara features a Moroccan-inspired design.
IF YOU’RE LOOKING for your house to make a striking first impression from the moment you pull up outside, Mutiara is likely to tick many of your boxes.
Priced at €1,450,000 through Colliers, the four-bed home is located less than a five-minute walk from Stepaside village in Dublin 18.
The unique property is located on 0.38 acres of perfectly manicured grounds, with Tasmanian trees ferns, Japanese maples, a magnolia tree and other mature shrubs creating a beautiful landscape. There’s also a two-seater swing, included in the sale, from which you can enjoy views of the Dublin Mountains.
Mutiara was first built in 1980, but has benefited from refurbishments and upgrades in 2014 and 2021. The accommodation measures 217 sq m (2,336 sq ft) and features an eclectic design throughout, right from the moment you step through the German custom-designed copper double entrance doors.
The living room is to the right of the hallway, where a mix of colours and textures create a warm and welcoming feel. Features include Kahrs oak flooring, a handmade mantelpiece with a wood-burning stove and French oak window frames.
Double doors open to the south-facing courtyard which makes for the perfect space to unwind thanks to the waterfall and fishpond.
Directly across from here is the split-level dining room and lounge. The zebra-printed floors are likely different to anything you’ve seen before, and certainly aren’t for the faint hearted. Picture windows overlook the front garden and offer views over the Dublin Mountains, while sliding doors open from the dining area to the Japanese-style patio with a sunken pond and water feature.
The dining area leads through to the bespoke kitchen with pink high-gloss units, high-spec appliances and a moveable centre island. There’s also room for another dining table with seating for six people here. The kitchen has access to a colourful Moroccan-style garden which comes complete with a mosaic table and seating for 12. Dinner party, anyone?
Completing the accommodation are the bedrooms and bathrooms. The main bedroom benefits from access to the courtyard, an en suite bathroom with a jacuzzi bath and a walk-in wardrobe. Above the bed is a skylight with an electronic solar blind for stargazing at night.
The other two bedrooms are also doubles, while the family bathroom features colourful mosaic tiles throughout and a raised bath. The fourth bedroom has been converted to a home office and features glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the courtyard.
With several seating and lawn areas dotted around the property, the new owners of Mutiara can enjoy sunshine all day thanks to the southerly, westerly and easterly aspects. There’s also a herb garden and a standalone timber garden house, meaning those with a green thumb will be kept occupied.
With a unique interior and exterior, beautiful gardens for relaxing in and easy access to the M50, the sale of Mutiara is sure to attract attention.
