This modern Sandymount home has an interesting layout and is just minutes from the coast
73 Beach Road is on the market for €925,000.
LIVING BY THE sea along Dublin’s south coast doesn’t always mean taking on a draughty period house and committing to a lengthy renovation. At 73 Beach Road in Sandymount, a newly built two-bed home pairs an well-established coastal address with modern interiors, an A energy rating and a rooftop spot to enjoy the view.
Extending to about 82 m² over three floors, the house embraces an upside down layout with the bedrooms on the ground floor and the main living space sits above. A study and private terrace sit at the top of the building. This arrangement gives each level a purpose while making good use of the elevated position to soak in the views.
The entrance hall welcomes you with a tiled flooring, recessed lighting and oak handrails. Both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and carpet underfoot, while sliding doors connect them to the outdoor area at the back. In the main bedroom, lots of wardrobe storage helps keep the room uncluttered and an en suite bathroom adds a vanity unit, half-height tiling and brushed-gold detailing.
Upstairs, the kitchen, dining and living areas share one open space, with generous windows bringing in natural light. Wood flooring runs through the room, providing warmth against the clean lines of the fitted kitchen.
A substantial island with stone worktops and breakfast-bar seating anchors the cooking area. Wall and base cabinets provide storage, while integrated appliances include an oven, hob, extractor, fridge-freezer and dishwasher.
Lighting is incorporated into the kitchen design, with additional wall lights in the living area and a recess for a wall-mounted television. A separate utility and storage room houses the washing machine and dryer, keeping laundry out of the main social space.
The top floor offers another useful feature in the form of a study with a fitted desk, storage and a large window overlooking the surrounding area. For anyone working from home, having a dedicated room away from both the bedrooms and living space is a real advantage.

Alongside it, the private roof terrace brings sea views and space for outdoor dining or a quiet evening above street level. Raised planters and wall lighting soften the contemporary finish, while the back patio offers a second outdoor option.
There is also underfloor heating and an air-to-water heat pump contributing to the home’s energy-efficiency. HomeBond certification and secure covered bicycle parking complete the package.
73 Beach Road has an apt name as it is minutes from Sandymount Village and the strand. Between the village amenities, shoreline walks and a terrace of its own, this compact new home has plenty to offer beyond its front door.
