IMAGINE WAKING UP to the option of a refreshing sea swim each day. Just 100 metres from the glittering shoreline of south Co Dublin, this extraordinary architect-designed home, called Finder, is your chance to live by the sea without compromise. Tucked discreetly behind electric gates at the quiet end of Corbawn Lane, this six-bed home is as much a work of art as it is a place to live.
Designed by acclaimed architects Lynch O’Toole Martin (now COMMA), the property’s design celebrates light, space and connection with nature. Soaring glazed elevations frame sweeping sea views to the south and east, ensuring every corner is infused with daylight and coastal atmosphere.
Set within 734 m² of private gardens, the house offers approximately 293 m of internal space, including a versatile attic level that adds further flexibility for work, play or guests.
Inside, the layout flows effortlessly. The double-height entrance hall makes a dramatic first impression with its polished wood floors and full-height glazing, leading through to a choice of elegant living and dining areas. A gas fireplace adds warmth to the sitting room, while the dining area’s glazed wall and French doors open directly towards the sea, which is the perfect backdrop for dinner parties as well as family breakfasts.
The kitchen is as practical as it is beautiful, with granite worktops, an American-style fridge-freezer and induction hob. Dual-aspect windows bring in sea views and morning light, while a cosy adjoining lounge with a solid-fuel stove invites relaxed family living.
A separate utility and plant room keep household essentials out of sight, while the ground floor also accommodates two well-proportioned bedrooms that are ideal for guests or flexible use as an office or media room.
Upstairs, the main suite spans over 9 metres in length. It features a lounge area, a statement granite feature wall and, of course, those uninterrupted sea views. The en suite bathroom is sleek and contemporary, recently refurbished to a high standard.
A second bedroom with its own bathroom enjoys its own private balcony while two more bedrooms and en suite bathrooms provide comfort and privacy for family or visitors. A converted attic level adds even more potential, currently arranged as two rooms with sea-facing windows and additional storage.
Surrounding the house on all sides, the landscaped gardens offer a series of inviting outdoor spaces. From the west-side parking area to the sheltered lawn, every corner has been carefully considered. A paved patio, a charming pagoda and even a separate “very back” garden that comes complete with fruit trees, a workshop and space for a playhouse or studio, make this home ideal for both entertaining and relaxation.
Few coastal homes in Dublin offer such proximity to the sea while remaining so well connected. Shankill’s DART station is a mere seven minute stroll away, with the M50 and N11 also easy to reach. The beach itself beckons just beyond the garden gate, perfect for morning swims, bracing walks or simply soaking in views that stretch from Dalkey Island to Bray Head.
The village of Shankill combines small-town charm with excellent amenities, from local boutiques and cafés to sports clubs, top-rated schools and the leafy expanse of Shanganagh Park. For dining or a drink with friends, Brady’s Pub and nearby restaurants provide a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. And for those who love the outdoors, the Dublin Mountains Way begins just minutes away.
This unique home combines architectural distinction, generous proportions and direct sea access. This is an opportunity to embrace a true coastal lifestyle without sacrificing comfort, privacy or convenience.
