Mention the name Salamanca and your thoughts immediately turn to the Spanish City.
While Castilla y León might be far away from Clonskeagh in Dublin 14, 3 Salamanca will have you pining for the outdoors as much as much as if you were on holiday in Spain.
That’s because this stunning 5 bed detached house, which offers 305sqm of living space, has some incredible outdoor spaces, including a sunken fire pit which will allow you to continue enjoying the home’s beautiful garden even as the evenings close in as summer approaches its end.
Nestled within the highly prestigious and exclusive enclave of Ardilea, 3 Salamanca represents a masterclass in modern architectural refinement.
Designed by renowned architects Horan Rainsford and featured among Ireland's most inspiring homes, this striking modern detached residence boasts a feature Staffordshire blue brick facade, custom McNally Joinery entrance doors and an array of sleek architectural elements, including a double lantern zinc roof and bespoke Crittall double doors.
Redesigned, refurbished and comprehensively upgraded in 2017, the property offers almost 330sqm (including the garage) of light-filled, turn-key accommodation across two expansive levels.
The address also boasts unparalleled convenience, set within walking distance of the world-class amenities at University College Dublin and the lush 32-acre greenery of Mount Merrion's Deer Park.
Approached via a private front garden framed by mature perimeter hedging, the grounds provide ample off-street parking for four to five cars alongside an adjoining garage—offering prime storage for a prized car or motorbike, or excellent scope for further conversion.
The ground floor of 3 Salamanca introduces a magnificent reception hall featuring a custom steel staircase with open risers and glass balustrades.
A luxurious spa-like bathroom complete with a Tylo sauna, Grohe walk-in shower, black glass basin and Palazzo Gris floor-to-ceiling tiling sets an immediate tone of sophistication.
The ground floor accommodates a bright front-facing bedroom and a versatile dual-aspect sitting room / fifth bedroom featuring a custom Calacatta marble mantelpiece with a Stovax gas fire.
Designed for effortless entertaining, the drawing room centres around a remote-controlled corner Bellfire, bespoke cabinetry with a built-in desk and cocktail cabinet and three-pane bi-folding doors that draw the outside in.
At the heart of the home lies a breathtaking open-plan kitchen, dining and family zone, framed by two additional sets of bi-fold doors. The bespoke in-frame shaker kitchen features oak carcasses painted in Farrow & Ball's Green Smoke, a custom larder, premium integrated Neff appliances and a Zoe hose tap.
From here you can step down into the sunken dining and family area, where light pours through the sweeping architectural glazing from the side and above.
The outdoor space is an easily maintained private sanctuary engineered to capture direct afternoon and evening sunshine.
A large granite-paved patio steps down to a sunken fire pit, manicured lawns, raised flower beds and a feature ancient bonsai tree, all supported by dual side access and practical garden sheds.
Up the feature staircase, the bright first-floor landing benefits from skylights and hidden eaves storage. The primary suite is a serene retreat showcasing a large window seat with integrated storage, Harlequin wallpaper, a Velux window and a dedicated walk-in wardrobe lined with floor-to-ceiling oak cabinetry. Its ensuite bathroom is exquisitely finished with chevron subway and mosaic tiling, a marble sink and a Grohe rain shower.
Two additional generously sized bedrooms each incorporate charming reading nooks and built-in storage - including Kube sliding wardrobes and a custom desk in bedroom 3 - complemented by a main bathroom featuring quartz and subway tiling, double sinks, a standalone bath and Devi underfloor heating.
Outside the home, a pillared entrance opens to a large pebbled forecourt with ample off street parking for numerous cars. This driveway is bound by raised beds incorporating all year around colour and lawns.
Twin side entrances lead to the sun orientated rear garden with its wide array of eye-catching features.
3 Salamanca seamlessly blends architectural prestige, modern luxury, and ultimate privacy in one of Dublin 14's finest addresses.
