Occupying a prime position on one of Glenageary's most sought-after residential roads, this magnificent bay-fronted semi-detached period home represents a rare opportunity to acquire a residence of exceptional scale, character and architectural pedigree in one of South County Dublin's most desirable coastal settings. Extending to in excess of 5,000sq.ft., the property has been comprehensively reimagined and upgraded under the guidance of acclaimed Dublin architect Paul Brazil, whose thoughtful redesign has created a home that effortlessly balances the elegance and proportions of its Victorian heritage with the demands of contemporary family living. Throughout the house there is an unmistakable feeling of light, volume and airiness. The careful architectural intervention has preserved the property's original character while introducing a flow and functionality that feels entirely contemporary. Every room possesses a sense of purpose, while the overall composition creates a home that is both impressive and deeply comfortable.

From the moment of arrival, the home's handsome façade sets the tone for what lies within. Beyond the threshold, a gracious reception hall, with guest w.c., introduces interiors of remarkable scale and refinement, where period detail, natural light and beautifully considered finishes combine to create an atmosphere of comfortable elegance. The principal reception rooms are particularly impressive. Positioned on either side of the hall, the two elegant reception rooms to the front of the property showcase the generous proportions synonymous with homes of this era, providing superb spaces for formal entertaining and family gatherings alike. Their high ceilings, large sash windows and exquisite detailing contribute to the sense of grandeur rarely encountered in modern homes.

To the rear, the accommodation unfolds into an outstanding family living environment. The kitchen has been opened and connected to a magnificent dining area, creating the natural heart of the home—a space designed equally for everyday family life and sophisticated entertaining. Adjacent to this is a wonderful snug, a cozy spot for relaxing and watching TV. Further enhancing the versatility of the accommodation is a substantial study, perfectly suited to modern home working or a well-appointed gym, together with an additional reception room on the other side of the kitchen, offering flexibility for a variety of uses. Practical family requirements have been equally well considered, with a utility room, boot room and shower room next to the pedestrian side access into the house, completing the accommodation at this level.

Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is equally impressive. The principal suite provides a luxurious private retreat, featuring a walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are all substantial doubles, offering exceptional comfort and flexibility for family members and guests alike, with two bedrooms benefiting from their own en-suite facilities.

One of the property's most enchanting features is its magnificent south-facing rear garden. Bathed in sunlight throughout the day, the garden enjoys an exceptional sense of privacy and seclusion, creating a tranquil outdoor sanctuary that perfectly complements the elegance of the interiors. Mature planting and established boundaries provide a wonderful backdrop for outdoor dining, entertaining and family enjoyment.

Glenageary has long been regarded as one of South Dublin's most prestigious residential addresses, offering a unique balance of tranquillity, convenience and coastal charm. Quiet and leafy in character, it enjoys immediate proximity to some of Dublin's most celebrated seaside communities, including Glasthule, Sandycove, Dalkey and Dún Laoghaire. Residents benefit from an outstanding selection of highly regarded schools, excellent sporting and recreational amenities, and superb transport connections, with the Glenageary DART stop a 5 minutes’ walk away providing swift access to Dublin City Centre and beyond. The nearby coastline, yacht clubs, parks, cafés, restaurants and village centres combine to create a lifestyle that is both vibrant and effortlessly convenient.
