A distinguished coastal residence overlooking Killiney Bay. Set on approximately 1.43 acres of wonderfully private, mature grounds, Kilmore is a truly exceptional detached family home enjoying uninterrupted sea views across the magnificent Killiney Bay.

In classic Georgian style emphasis is on symmetry seen in the balanced arrangements of windows and doors on the façade of this stunning home which was extended and completely renovated in 2003 under the guidance of celebrated architect Sam Stephenson and conservation architect Philip Dinkel, the property combines timeless elegance with modern sophistication. Attention to detail was paramount, resulting in a residence of distinction extending to 656 sq. m, perfectly balancing formal reception areas with spacious private living quarters.

On arrival, the sweeping gravel driveway leads to a sun-drenched south-facing courtyard. Step inside and you are immediately greeted by a grand entrance hall and reception foyer, centered around a bespoke mahogany staircase with a striking picture window. From here, the main reception rooms unfold - including a double-aspect sitting room opening onto the veranda, a handcrafted library by German master craftsman Titchler, a formal dining room, guest cloakroom and w.c., and the heart of the home: a magnificent Design House Dalkey kitchen and family living area.

The first floor hosts four generous double bedrooms, each with an ensuite. Two enjoy breathtaking sea views, with two enjoying outlooks over the beautifully landscaped gardens. The principal suite is a masterpiece of understated luxury - a bright bay- windowed, double-aspect sanctuary with bespoke DeVoy & Son his-and-her wardrobes and a quartzite ensuite, complete with Italian Jessie fittings.

The lower garden level provides further versatile accommodation with two interconnecting rooms (cinema and family room), a central hallway/games room, a kitchenette, laundry, shower room, and the home's control room. All principal rooms open seamlessly onto a paved lower terrace, ideal for entertaining or relaxation.

Adding to its appeal, Kilmore also boasts a charming detached two-bedroom cottage, created above the original coach house. With its own private entrance and parking, it offers comfortable accommodation including a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and bathroom - perfect for guests, extended family, or staff.

The Philip Brightling designed and landscaped grounds are as impressive as the residence itself. Rolling split-level lawns, meandering stone-set pathways, impressive stone rockeries built by master stone mason Jim Barco, vibrant flowerbeds, and mature planting create a sense of tranquillity and privacy. A large, paved terrace, complete with water feature, stone-cut barbeque pavilion, and clever built-in seating, extends the home's living space outdoors for much of the year.

This stretch of South Dublin's coastline is rightly celebrated as one of Ireland's most desirable addresses. Kilmore offers a rare chance to acquire a landmark residence of elegance, scale, and heritage - a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become custodian of this truly exceptional home.
