Set on approximately one acre of private, mature grounds, this unique 1930's cottage offers an extraordinary opportunity to create your dream home in a truly exceptional location. Extended in the 1960's and steeped in rich literary history, the property was once home to renowned writer Con Curran, with his close friend James Joyce known to have visited regularly—a connection that adds an undeniable charm and legacy to the house.

While the cottage now requires full refurbishment, it holds immense potential for transformation. The real treasure lies in the sweeping panoramic views that stretch across Dublin City, Howth, Lambay Island, and Poolbeg, offering an ever-changing backdrop of sea and skyline from morning to night.
The generous site wraps around the home, providing expansive front, rear, and side gardens, all beautifully mature and framed by a peaceful wooded area. It's a true haven of tranquillity, offering space, privacy, and a rare sense of escape—yet all within easy reach of the city.

Located just below the rolling hills of Three Rock and Ticknock, and only 8 miles from Dublin City Centre, this charming setting is remarkably well-connected. You're just minutes from Dundrum Town Centre, with Marlay Park, The Grange, The Castle, and Milltown Golf Clubs all nearby, along with Rathfarnham Castle and its surrounding parklands.
Families will appreciate the proximity to a number of highly regarded primary and secondary schools, while outdoor enthusiasts can step out into the Dublin Mountains for endless walking and hiking trails.

With easy access to the M50, public transport links, and the Luas just a short drive away, this is a rare chance to reimagine a home in one of Dublin’s most desirable and scenic locations.
Whether you're inspired by the history, the views, or the land itself—this is a place where potential meets possibility.
