These turnkey properties in Sandycove, Killiney and Terenure might fit the bill …
From a panoramic Killiney penthouse to a character-filled Terenure redbrick and a modern Sandycove family home, this week’s standout Dublin properties offer style, space and smart design in equal measure.
Discover three beautiful homes from MyHome that are ready to be lived in.
This fabulous penthouse apartment within the exclusive The Court Killiney Bay development is presented by DNG Dun Laoghaire. Designed by MAP Architects, this southwest-facing home offers oodles of space, a stellar location and seclusion thanks to a private lift which requires code access. It is sure to alleviate any reservations about apartment living.
It is a great choice for those looking to rightsize from a large family home. There are no internal stairs or exterior maintenance to tangle with, yet you can maintain that sense of space you’re used to, as well as enjoy the outdoor areas, which include a large balcony and courtyard as well as an extensive roof terrace.
From the aspect to the architecture, this is bright and modern home extends to 175 sq m, not including its three private outside spaces, which bring the property to a generous 331 sq m. With a decent B2 BER rating this home will be warm in the colder months.
The apartment features two bedrooms and two en suite bathrooms with a large space for socialising in an open-plan living and dining room, with an expansive sunroom opening off it. The kitchen is compact, however an extension into the living/dining area is a possibility.
The breathtaking view across Killiney Bay, Sorrento Terrace and over to Bray Head is a selling point in itself.
14 Healthfield Road, Terenure, Dublin 6: €2,250,000
Thomas Stringer homes are some of the most sought-after in the city, and 14 Heathfield Road, presented by Sherry Fitzgerald Terenure, is likely to be among the most covetable. Active as a builder in the 1930s, Stringer’s buildings are known for their generous proportions, decent gardens and high ceilings.
This double-fronted redbrick house features five bedrooms and three reception rooms, two of which interconnect. Set on a quiet road, near to both Terenure and Rathgar villages, good schools and public transport links.
At the back of the house is a formal garden with geometric box hedges and a chequerboard path offers serious curb appeal out front, and in the back is a nicely seasoned garden with a south west facing, making it ideal for sun almost all day.
Back inside, the house extends to 225 sq m and is beautifully decorated and maintained. Period features have been respected, including coving and cornicing, lovely cast iron fireplaces in the bedrooms and a spectacular stained and leaded glass front door and surround.
The family bathroom is large and features pretty panelling. However, it is the only facility in the house, and this, along with the D2 BER rating, may be elements a new owner will want to tackle.
66A Albert Road Lower, Sandycove, Co. Dublin: €1,800,000
Newer homes have much to recommend them. Presented by Lisney Sotheby’s International Realty Dalkey, 66A Albert Road Lower is a well-insulted and low maintenance property.
Tucked away at the end of a private lane off Albert Road, this BER B-rated home is excellently located, sizeable at 195 sq m, and benefits from an extension and renovation, undertaken in 2021.
It lets in lots of natural light with a ground-floor layout that’s conducive to family life and entertaining. The kitchen/diner also comes with a utility room, and flows into a family living room which can be used as a space for socialising. There is a separate, more formal sitting room to the other side of the house.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, two of which are en suite. A family bathroom and storage options complete the offer and outside, there are two small courtyard-style spaces. Sandycove, Glasthule, Dalkey and Dun Laoghaire are all within easy reach, along with the Forty Foot, Sandycove Harbour, coastal walks, tennis clubs and golf courses nearby.
