A Front-Row Seat to the Irish Sea in Skerries

A Front-Row Seat to the Irish Sea in Skerries

Few homes can claim such an extraordinary setting as this architect-designed waterfront residence in the historic Hoar Rock enclave of Skerries. Combining striking contemporary architecture with an enviable coastal position, this property offers a unique opportunity to enjoy modern living against the backdrop of some of Dublin’s most spectacular sea views.

Designed by architect Niamh Butler, the home has been carefully conceived to make the most of its surroundings, with expansive glazing, thoughtfully arranged living spaces and a subtle nautical influence throughout. Panoramic views stretch across North Beach and Skerries Harbour towards Ardgillan Castle, with the Mourne Mountains visible on clear days.

Arranged over four levels, the interiors are bright, spacious and beautifully considered. The principal living room makes an immediate impression, with a full-width, floor-to-ceiling glazed elevation framing uninterrupted views across the water. Bespoke handmade cabinetry and an electric fireplace add warmth, while glazed doors open onto the seafront terrace, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

A striking open-tread staircase leads down to the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining area. Featuring contemporary bespoke cabinetry, sleek stone worktops and a generous dining space, the room is perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining. Four picture windows overlooking the shoreline provide a particularly memorable feature, bringing the ever-changing coastal landscape into the heart of the home.

This level also accommodates a generous double bedroom, family bathroom, utility room and plant room, with access to a sheltered courtyard and additional outdoor storage. Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is a particularly special retreat, enjoying spectacular sea views, a bespoke walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious ensuite complete with freestanding bath and walk-in shower. A further spacious bedroom occupies the uppermost floor, opening onto an impressive wrap-around balcony where the coastal panorama can be enjoyed from every angle.

Beyond its exceptional design and setting, the property benefits from an enviable location within walking distance of Skerries' beaches, harbour, cafés and restaurants. Dublin Airport is also conveniently accessible, making this a remarkable coastal home without compromising on connectivity.
