For sale by private treaty through Blacks Residential, this 265 m² home was built in 2011 and spans over three floors. Due to its size, there are separate reception rooms, a large communal kitchen space and a versatile top-floor bedroom which all offer scope for family life to evolve without every room having to serve several purposes at once.
The entrance hall sets the sense of space, with a guest toilet tucked off it. Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, keeping the rooms comfortable and warm despite their generous sizes.
Two reception rooms provide options beyond the main living area. Both have fireplaces, with a wood-burning stove in one, lending these spaces a more intimate feel. There is room here for a sitting room reserved for quieter evenings, alongside a playroom or a second sitting room where television choices need never become a household argument.
At the back, the kitchen, living and dining area brings everyone back together. This expansive open plan space is the centre of everyday life, with room for cooking, meals and unwinding in company. Large sliding glass doors draw in daylight and open directly to the garden, allowing gatherings to spill outside when the weather is fine.
Four double bedrooms are on the first floor, two have en suite shower rooms. A separate family bathroom includes a bath, while the main bedroom has the added pleasure of a private balcony overlooking the garden. It is an appealing little escape within a busy family home. This is definitely a place to take a coffee or simply leave the bedroom doors open to the morning air.
The fifth bedroom sits on the second floor. Its separation from the other bedrooms makes it particularly useful for an older child or guests. It could also make a super home office or cinema room. Having this additional space gives the layout flexibility well beyond the usual bedroom count.
Outside, the large south-east-facing back garden provides plenty of room for play, planting and outdoor dining. A garage adds practical storage, and the broad front driveway can park several cars.
For all its space and privacy, Waterlefe is well-connected to daily village life. Donabate’s shops, cafés and other amenities are just a walk away, as is the train station for journeys into the city. Primary and secondary schools are also nearby.
The wider setting adds another dimension. Newbridge House and Demesne for parkland walks along with visits to the working farm will keep the family busy on weekends. As will Donabate Beach, which brings the coast into the routine. Several golf clubs serve the peninsula, and access to the M1, M50 and Dublin Airport is just the cherry on top of this spacious and well-located family home.
