House, Argyle Road, Donnybrook, Dublin 4

This is, without question, one of the finest homes to come to the Dublin market in recent years. Ideally positioned on manicured gardens of approximately 0.25 acres, this striking Edwardian double-fronted detached home enjoys a truly exceptional setting on this quiet road, with the 32 acres of Herbert Park forming a beautiful and verdant backdrop.

Extensively refurbished and thoughtfully extended to exacting standards in circa 2014, the property now offers approximately 438sqm / 4,715sqft of impeccably presented accommodation. Every element of the home has been carefully curated, with many Edwardian features retained and restored, delivering a seamless blend of luxury, comfort, and functionality and resulting in interiors of exceptional quality and refinement.

Beyond its handsome façade lies a home of remarkable scale and elegance. A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, leading to two beautifully proportioned, interconnecting reception rooms. An oak-panelled study to the front provides a private workspace, while a guest WC is conveniently located off the hall.

To the rear, an impressive double-height open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space forms the true heart of the home—thoughtfully designed for contemporary living, flooded with natural light and bringing in the wonderful rear garden. A well-designed utility room and a shower room complete the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the sense of space and quality continues with five generously sized double bedrooms. The master bedroom suite is particularly impressive, featuring a luxuriously appointed ensuite bathroom and a large dressing room. Two further bedrooms benefit from their own ensuites and walk-in wardrobes. On the top floor, the fourth and fifth bedrooms share a separate bathroom.

The property is further enhanced by mature, private gardens, providing a secluded and tranquil setting rarely found so close to the city. The rear garden offers generous space for outdoor living with a large private terrace off the kitchen, ideal for al fresco dining with electric awning, electric heaters, gas fireplace, BBQ and outdoor speakers. The terrace links with both the drawing room and open plan areas, creating an overall space that is ideal for entertaining. The garden is laid out mainly in lawn with a selection of mature plants, trees and shrubs with a number of terrace areas and hidden garden shed. A detached garage and plant room to the side adds practicality and there is gated off- street car parking to the front with the benefit of an EV Charger.

Situated on this quiet road just off Herbert Park, the property enjoys one of Dublin’s most sought after and convenient locations with a host of the city’s most popular amenities within a short stroll and is within comfortable walking distance to the city centre. Immediately adjacent is the wonderful amenity of Herbert Park itself as well as the excellent selection of speciality shops, café’s, restaurants and boutiques in Donnybrook and Ballsbridge. Also, for the sport enthusiasts there’s an excellent selection of sports clubs close by, including Fitzwilliam LTC, Donnybrook LTC, David Lloyd Riverview Sports Club, RDS and the AVIVA, to name but a few. The property is also very well serviced by some of Dublin’s best primary and secondary schools. Public transport is also very well catered for with convenient local bus routes at both ends of Herbert Park whilst the Aircoach has stops in Donnybrook and Ballsbridge for convenient transport to the airport.
