A stunning semi-detached residence in the heart of Dalkey offering expansive living spaces, a modern renovated basement, and breathtaking views of Dublin Bay and Howth.
Rockmount is an exceptional residential offering located in the highly sought-after enclave of Dalkey, now entering the market with a guide price of 2.85 million euro.
This semi-detached masterpiece is strategically set back from the road, providing a sense of privacy and seclusion that is rare in such a prime location. Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by an impressive gravel driveway shielded by elegant iron gates, offering ample parking for up to three vehicles. The exterior reflects a timeless charm that seamlessly blends with the prestigious character of the neighborhood, making it an ideal sanctuary for those seeking a balance between luxury and tranquility.
The interior of the home begins with a grand entrance hall that immediately sets a tone of elegance. Featuring polished timber floors that glow under the light, the space is further enhanced by intricate decorative ceiling coving and classic cornicing. An architectural archway leads visitors into four distinct reception rooms, each designed to cater to different moods and functions.
To the left, a formal pair of interconnected rooms—the drawing room and the dining room—have been thoughtfully opened up by the current owners to create a bright, dual-aspect space. These rooms are anchored by striking black marble fireplaces, adding a touch of sophistication to the bright and airy atmosphere. On the opposite side of the hall, a more relaxed sitting room provides a cozy retreat, complete with high-quality built-in cabinetry and another magnificent marble fireplace with an open fire.
For those requiring a versatile space, a family room is situated behind the sitting room, perfectly suited to serve as a children’s play den, a dedicated music room, or a quiet private home office for the modern professional. Descending from the ground floor via a flight of original narrow stairs, one discovers the basement level, which stands in striking modern contrast to the traditional period feel of the rest of the house.
Spanning a total home area of 273 square meters, the basement is the heart of the home's contemporary functionality. The centerpiece is a state-of-the-art kitchen crafted by Alno, featuring a sleek peninsular island topped with durable granite. This L-shaped area transitions into a living space that opens directly onto a sun-filled patio, nestled just beneath the garden’s front steps, allowing for a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
The dining area of the basement also opens to the garden, ensuring the space remains light and connected to nature. To complete this level, there is a large, modern shower room and a comprehensive utility room equipped with an expansive bank of storage units and laundry appliances, with enough additional space to accommodate gym equipment such as an exercise bike. The first floor is dedicated to rest and rejuvenation, housing four well-appointed bedrooms.
The rooms located at the rear of the property offer an unparalleled visual experience, providing panoramic views over the scenic landscape of Howth. The main bathroom is particularly noteworthy, offering a vista that stretches across the entirety of Dublin Bay toward the Howth peninsula, turning a daily routine into a luxurious experience. Another rear-facing bedroom looks out over the meticulously kept garden and the distant sea.
The front of the house contains three additional rooms, including a single room, a double bedroom, and the expansive main bedroom. The master suite is a private haven, featuring an en suite bathroom with a roof light that floods the space with natural light, along with extensive built-in wardrobes for maximum organization. Outside, the garden is a masterpiece of landscaping, where well-tended hydrangeas cluster around a graceful young birch tree.
The split-level design incorporates separate patios, making it an ideal venue for summer entertaining or quiet afternoon relaxation. A side passage provides convenient access back to the front of the house. The lifestyle offered by Rockmount is truly unique, indicated by the proximity to Coliemore Harbour, where paddleboarding and swimming are practically on the doorstep.
Situated in the heart of Dalkey, the property is just a short stroll from the seafront and the village center, which is renowned for its high-end restaurants, boutiques, traditional pubs, and cozy cafes. With several prestigious schools nearby and access to the bracing walks of Killiney Hill and the Vico swimming spot, this home offers an unrivaled quality of life in one of Dublin's most coveted coastal villages
