Description
Truly exceptional, designer period residence ideally positioned on this exclusive, tranquil road between the breathtaking Scotsman's Bay and the charming villages of Sandycove and Glasthule.
When the owners first viewed Seafield House in 2007, they immediately recognized the immense potential of this stunning Victorian double-fronted home. Over the years, they have meticulously carried out a complete transformation, preserving its timeless elegance while incorporating contemporary luxury. The result is a captivating family home that is both unique and extraordinary and that offers a C2 Energy rating.
Seafield House seamlessly blends period features with a bespoke, cutting-edge interior. A remarkable two-storey glass return bathes the home in an abundance of natural light, enhancing its inviting atmosphere. The handsome double-fronted façade, with its imposing granite steps leading to the original front door with its Victorian fanlight, sets the stage for a thoughtfully curated interior that balances historic charm with modern sophistication.
Upon entering, wide-plank limed oak floors, a striking open-tread glass and oak staircase, and a picturesque view of the landscaped private garden through the glass return creates a wonderful first impression. The hall level is home to two expansive, sun-drenched receptions that flow seamlessly from front to back. These refined spaces feature original ceiling coving, an original fireplace in the open-plan drawing room, and a bespoke, designer kitchen that opens onto the idyllic rear garden.
The garden level is equally impressive, offering a third reception room with direct access to the private rear garden, a serene double bedroom, and a luxurious designer bathroom. Additional highlights include a spacious utility room and a versatile studio/guest accommodation with a private entrance. Above this flexible space, the inviting guest bedroom suite offers ultimate privacy and comfort.
Ascending via the stunning glass return, which commands breathtaking sea views and serves as a tranquil contemplation space, you reach the first floor. Here, three generously proportioned and meticulously designed bedrooms await. The principal suite is a sanctuary of sophistication, boasting panoramic coastal vistas, an opulent designer ensuite, and bespoke built-in wardrobes. An additional luminous family bathroom completes this level.
This premier location is truly second to none. Residents will enjoy proximity to vibrant shopping districts, an array of gourmet restaurants, and an abundance of leisure facilities. The scenic Sandycove Harbour, the renowned Forty Foot Bathing Club, and the picturesque cycle track linking Sandycove to Blackrock are all just moments away. Seafield House is also ideally positioned near esteemed primary and secondary schools, convenient public transport links, and an array of sports clubs, including Sandycove Lawn Tennis Club, Killiney Golf Club, and Cuala GAA. For maritime enthusiasts, the four yacht clubs and expansive marina at Dun Laoghaire Harbour offer endless opportunities for sailing and water activities.
The gardens at Seafield House are a haven of tranquillity and low-maintenance luxury. The front garden, framed by elegant wrought-iron railings and secure gates, provides ample off-street parking for three vehicles, along with an electric car charging station. Three separate access points lead into the home at different levels, ensuring seamless convenience. Mature flowering plants, vibrant shrubs, and graceful trees adorn the property, while a secluded natural stone patio offers an enchanting setting for warm summer evenings.
To the rear, the beautifully designed south-east-facing garden is both private and effortless to maintain. A delightful natural stone patio, bordered by manicured flower beds and mature specimen trees, creates a serene retreat. Thoughtfully integrated artificial grass and a discreet rear pedestrian access further enhance the functionality and appeal of this magnificent residence.
Seafield House is a truly rare offering, blending historic grandeur with contemporary elegance in one of Dublin's most sought-after coastal enclaves. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the exceptional lifestyle this remarkable home provides.
