EVERY ONCE IN a while, a home that lets you enjoy the best of both worlds has you daydreaming on the daily.

Riverview is a charming home that could just trigger your imagination. And if you’re the lucky one to buy it, you won’t have to fantasise for long.

Set against the timeless beauty of Dublin’s historic Strawberry Beds, Riverview is nestled along the banks of the River Liffey. This beautifully restored and extended detached house combines countryside tranquillity with super convenience, offering an enviable lifestyle just minutes from the city.

Originally a charming cottage, the property was renovated and extended around 2000, and there have been upgrades even more recently. Today, Riverview is a contemporary home that still retains its warmth and character. Behind its stone walls and electric gates lies a private sanctuary where elegant interiors meet lovely natural surroundings.

Inside, the home unfolds across 150 m² of light-filled accommodation. The heart of the property is an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining area, designed for modern living and effortless entertaining. Stylish finishes and carefully considered details create a space that feels both refined and welcoming. Adjacent to this, the cosy living room offers a more intimate retreat, while a sun-drenched conservatory frames peaceful garden views and invites the outdoors in throughout the seasons.

The space includes three generously sized bedrooms, with the main suite featuring its own en suite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom complete the main house, all finished to an exceptional standard.

Beyond the interiors, Riverview continues to impress. The secluded garden enjoys complete privacy and features two decked entertaining areas, ideal for long summer evenings or quiet morning coffees surrounded by nature. Adding further versatility is a detached self-contained studio of about 25 m², complete with bathroom facilities and storage areas. Whether used as a creative workspace, guest space, home office or wellness area, it has endless possibilities.

Despite its idyllic rural feel, Riverview enjoys excellent connectivity. Dublin city centre is just 11 km away, while nearby Lucan, Castleknock and Chapelizod provide an abundance of cafés, restaurants, schools and everyday amenities. The Phoenix Park lies only minutes away, and easy access to the M50 and N4 ensures seamless travel throughout Dublin and beyond.
