Exquisite Family Residence Surrounded By Magnificent Gardens

Quite simply, one of the most exceptional homes to come to the market in South Dublin in recent years.

Hazeldene is a rare combination of an exquisitely designed family residence and truly magnificent wraparound gardens. Extending to approximately 698 sq. meters, this impressive A-rated detached home occupies a wonderfully private position on one of South Dublin’s most sought-after roads, where the beauty of the setting rivals that of the house itself. Completely rebuilt in 2009 to the highest standards, Hazeldene showcases the finest craftsmanship, innovative materials, and contemporary design.

Approached via granite pillars and electric gates, a sweeping driveway leads through mature grounds, offering a first glimpse of the space, privacy, and tranquillity that define this remarkable property. Set on approximately one acre, the gardens surround the house on all sides, creating a peaceful, leafy sanctuary that feels both secluded and expansive.

Inside, the home is designed with family living at its heart, yet perfectly suited to entertaining. A striking double-height entrance hall, flooded with natural light, sets the tone for elegant yet comfortable living. The layout flows effortlessly, with generously proportioned reception rooms providing both formal and informal spaces—ideal for everyday life or hosting larger gatherings.

At the centre of the home lies a superb bespoke kitchen and breakfast room, crowned by a stunning octagonal atrium that fills the space with light. Full-width bi-fold doors open onto one of several sun-drenched patios, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Whether hosting summer gatherings or enjoying quiet family moments, the gardens become a natural extension of the home.

Upstairs, five generous bedrooms provide excellent accommodation for family life, including a luxurious principal suite with dual dressing rooms, a magnificent master bedroom, and a beautifully appointed ensuite. A separate guest annex, directly adjoining the main house, offers outstanding flexibility—perfect for extended family, visitors, or independent living—while remaining connected to the main residence.

The gardens are a defining feature of Hazeldene. Wonderfully mature and exceptionally private, they have been thoughtfully designed to be enjoyed throughout the day, with multiple natural stone patios positioned to capture sunlight from morning to evening. Expansive lawns are framed by specimen trees, flowering shrubs, and established hedging, creating a dynamic, tranquil landscape ideal for family life, entertaining, or simply relaxing in complete privacy.

Despite its tranquil, almost country-like atmosphere, Hazeldene is superbly located just minutes from the N11 and M50, with excellent transport links including DART, Luas, and bus routes nearby. The coastal villages of Killiney, Dalkey, Sandycove, and Dun Laoghaire offer cafés, restaurants, shops, and leisure amenities, while the Dublin Mountains are also within easy reach. A selection of highly regarded schools further enhances its appeal as an ideal family home.

Hazeldene is a property of real substance and character, where generous accommodation meets outstanding gardens in a truly special setting. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that it has to offer.
