Lights, camera, action: Live like an A-lister at this charming €1.5m Wicklow hideaway
Dreaming of a home by the sea? Irish actress Saoirse Ronan is selling up.
FAR FROM MOVIE sets and the Hollywood Hills, Pine Lodge in Greystones, Co Wicklow has come to the market for €1.5m – and lists Saoirse Ronan as its owner.
Built in the 1970s, the five-bed property has been re-designed and modernised over the past two years. The result is a home that’s as elegant inside as it is out.
Spanning 4,834 sq ft, Pine Lodge features a sweeping tree-lined driveway, manicured lawns, high walls and electronic gates for the utmost privacy.
To the front, a veranda, wooden sash windows and a red-tiled roof make for an attractive first impression of the residence. Inside, this continues with a large entrance hall and multiple spacious reception rooms.
Two interconnecting reception rooms to the right act as the ideal location to host a party, with both a living and dining area here, complete with broad panel wooden floors, sash windows and a marble fireplace.
Moving to the kitchen and breakfast room, this part of the home has a Hollywood touch. Stand-out design features include leather-topped bar stools, pendant lighting and a hardwood island countertop.
With its baby blue presses ornate floors and multiple bay windows, the kitchen wouldn’t be out of place in a glossy magazine. A few steps away is the cosy living area with a wood-burning stove and views of the rear garden.
There’s access from here to the utility room, side garage and rear garden, while a guest bathroom and reading room completes the ground floor accommodation. French doors open from the reading room to the picturesque garden, where a patio area makes for the perfect spot to dine al fresco.
On the first floor, there are five large bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, and four with en-suite bathrooms. For those who love to spend time picking out what to wear, one of the bedrooms has been converted into a walk-in wardrobe with an Instagram-worthy en-suite bathroom. A home cinema and gym are on the second floor.
Just minutes from both the coast and the town of Greystones, Pine Lodge’s location offers a great mix of tranquility and convenience. If it’s good enough for an A-lister…
