Located on the esteemed Killiney Road, close to Killiney shopping centre and the lively, historic village of Dalkey, this sumptuously remodelled home manages to merge contemporary chic with bags of traditional allure.

On the ground floor through the hall and into the left-hand side of the living space is an inspiring and impressive combined drawing and dining room measuring approximately 26ft by 15, leading to a 13'7 x 11'2 sun room, encased in dark wood and glass.

What the owners have done here is blend the beautiful greenery and foliage of the outside 65ft rear garden with the tranquillity of indoor living.

Throughout the downstairs, there are clear views of the front and back gardens from every angle. While the dining and drawing rooms use traditional shapes and contours such as chimney stacks and cornicing to time-honoured effect, the sunroom boasts an arched ceiling that gives an almost churchlike feel. Natural stone on the open fireplace fits in delightfully with the pastel and blond colour scheme.

To the right-hand side of downstairs, there is a separate secluded TV room, modern kitchen and WC.

Upstairs are three very good-sized double rooms with a separate study, bathroom and WC.

This house is a dexterous mix of practical elegance and good taste, making for a very dramatic living arrangement. It will not be on the market for long.
