Rowan Rock, Glenageary Road Upper, Glenageary, Co Dublin, A96E1E2, Ireland

This exquisite modern family home presents stunning light filled, spacious (approximately 211sq.m. plus a further 33sq.m in the attic conversion) contemporary living in a sought after location close to the sea. Approached by a private gated avenue off Glenageary Road Upper, Rowan Rock is one of three Paul Brazil designed homes in an exclusive development. As you step through the tall wooden gates into the property, you can't help but admire the beauty of the New England style façade that surrounds a stylishly landscaped south facing entertaining area with outdoor kitchen and red cedar screening, which together complement and enhance each other. Walls of floor to ceiling windows, double height ceilings and characterful box bay windows, together with the owners natural flair for interiors, create the most wonderful ambience throughout this luxurious home.

The entrance lobby, with wood burning stove, is of such magnitude that it is currently in use as a further reception area and seamlessly links through to each part of the house. The kitchen/dining room, with stone floors, has extensive fitted units and a granite topped island. It is open through to a fabulous dining area with vaulted ceilings and double doors connecting to the patio and a feature fireplace. To the rear of the house there is a breathtaking, grand reception room with elegant 13ft ceilings and large feature fireplace. Floor to ceiling windows with impressively proportioned sliding doors giving entry out to the rear garden. There is a further reception room off the hall and the accommodation at this level is completed by a guest w.c. which has been fitted with wall to wall storage incorporating a laundry closet providing maximum utility. On the first floor the principal bedroom is en-suite and there are three further bedrooms and family bathroom. The owners undertook to convert the attic, to take full advantage of the great space that was there, which also looks out to Dublin Bay and Howth Head. The space, with w.c. en-suit, could have myriad uses and currently acts as a further bedroom and gym.

A tranquil escape just 8.5 miles south of Dublin City Centre, the location enjoys the best of both worlds, with peaceful surrounds and swift access to the coastal boutique villages of Glasthule, Sandycove, Dalkey and Dun Laoghaire town, boasting a selection of award winning restaurants, luxury day spas, specialist delicatessens and popular shops all within easy walking distance.
