This Sandycove home on the market for €1.95 million is stunning inside and out

The four-bed home is spacious and beautifully decorated, while still leaving scope for a new owner to add their own style.

One of Dublin’s most sought-after addresses thanks to its proximity to the Forty Foot, as well as the many shops and restaurants in nearby Glasthule and Dalkey, Sandycove homes are always in high demand.

But with gorgeous interiors and glimpses of the sea from the upper floors, 4 Sandycove Avenue West is definitely a home that we doubt will hang around for long on the market.

You enter the home through the original front door with a fanlight into the hallway, which has a tiled floor, ceiling cornicing, dado rail and French doors to back hall. This leads to the drawing room and dining room, which are connected by a large opening.

Both of these spaces have original stained timber floors, high ceilings with decorative coving, and marble fireplaces, while the dining room has a small reading area with fitted shelves.

There is a small study situated on the return of the stairs, which leads down to the garden level. A family room sits to the front of the house on this floor which has a cast iron fireplace and access to the front garden.

The country-style kitchen and breakfast room sit to the rear, fitted with bespoke units and granite worktops, as well as a range and a Belfast sink. A door leads out to the back garden.

The four bedrooms sit across the two upper floors. The main bedroom is spacious with a marble fireplace, fitted wardrobes and sea views, while two of the remaining bedrooms have cast iron fireplaces.

Outside, the split-level back garden is paved with Indian sandstone, and gets early morning and afternoon sun, while a garage provides off-street parking.

As well as being just 350 metres from the Forty Foot, this home is also just a short walk to Sandycove, Glasthule and Dalkey villages, with their many shops and restaurants. As well as this, it’s only ten minutes’ walk to the nearest DART station, providing easy access to the city centre.
