While we might have entered October, a few sunny days this week meant that we were able to enjoy the outdoors and some good weather before winter time really looms at the end of the month.
In Ireland, we need little encouragement to go outside when the sun shines and that’s why this superb 3 bed home at 3 Violet Place on the Albert Road Lower in Sandycove, Co Dublin, is so appealing.
The A1 rated property, which offers 173sqm of living space, combines indoor and outdoor living to great effect in what is one of South Dublin’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.
This superb home offers the chance to chill at the front or rear outdoors but has so much going for it otherwise.
Nestled at the end of a quiet lane off Albert Road, 3 Violet Place boasts an enviable location within striking distance of Sandycove/Glasthule village and the DART station at Glenageary, providing easy access to the heart of Dublin.
The striking facade, finished in a dark black/brown brick with timber accents, sets the tone for the contemporary interior.
Inside, the house is finished to the highest standards and offers two levels of spacious light filled living accommodation extending to approximately 173 sqm (1,862sq ft).
This home has been built with sustainability in mind, featuring an air-to-water heat pump, solar panels and triple-glazed windows, ensuring a warm and energy-efficient environment throughout the year.
3 Violet Place is approached via a gravel driveway with a parking bay for two cars and an EV charge point. A gate opens into a large west facing garden that is beautifully landscaped with a workshop and a porcelain tiled patio area measuring approximately 8m x 12m, the perfect spot to enjoy the afternoon sun.
On the ground floor there is a welcoming entrance porch with double Crittall style doors opening into the hallway. Off the hall, you will find the heart of the home, an impressive open-plan living/dining/kitchen area. This dual-aspect space is bathed in natural light ideal for everyday living and entertaining.
In the living room there is a large picture window overlooking the lush landscaped front garden. The kitchen is fitted with a contemporary teal green kitchen with a breakfast bar and integrated appliances.
At the back of the house, a large sunroom/entertaining space opens via sliding doors to the private rear garden, offering a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. To the other side of the hall there is a playroom/home office that opens out to the garden, providing the perfect space for a work-from-home setup or a children's play area.
A guest WC and laundry room complete the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, there are three generously proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room . The two other bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom with a roll top bath and separate shower, which has been designed with versatility in mind and this could easily be reconfigured and converted into a master suite.
The rear garden is a key feature of this property that has so much going for it outdoors. It is both private and low maintenance, with artificial lawn, a porcelain tiled patio and a raised deck in the corner, the perfect spot for al fresco dining and outdoor gatherings.
The nearby areas of Sandycove, Glasthule, Dun Laoghaire and Dalkey are vibrant coastal villages that offer a wonderful array of boutiques, shops, local markets, award-winning restaurants, cafés, and bistros, access to water sports in The Forty Foot, golf courses, and tennis clubs. There are also many excellent schools such as Castle Park, Loreto Abbey, St Joseph of Cluny, Harold Glasthule and Rathdown. For commuters, the nearby Glenageary DART station and multiple bus routes provide convenient access to Dublin's city centre and beyond.
