BLACKROCK - €3.05M:GARRYHINCH ON Granville Road in Blackrock looks like many another handsome Edwardian home, but the five-bedroom house on a quarter of an acre is newly built and ready to move into.
Architect David Wright picked on the year 1910 as inspiration for the house he designed on part of a family site on this quiet leafy road off Newtown Park Avenue near the junction with the N11.
The result is a three-storey house with many of the features of a bygone age, including solid oak floors and staircase, panelled doors, cornicing, marble fireplaces and stained glass details. Even the chimney pots are modelled on Edwardian originals. Modern comforts include four bath or shower rooms, masses of fitted storage and a laundry room on the first floor.
The 335sq m (3,600sq ft) house is for sale by private treaty through Savills HOK priced as €3.05 million. As it's a new build, stamp duty is payable on the site value only. Garryhinch is on the sunny side of the road, its back garden facing south-west. The panelled front door opens into a wide hallway with a dark oak floor that continues through two large reception rooms - a drawingroom and a diningroom - both of which have impressive sandstone fireplaces.
There's a different mood in the big contemporary style kitchen fitted by McNally which has French doors leading out to the garden. There's also a family room and a large playroom as well as a utility room and cloakroom.
Bedrooms, bathrooms and a gym occupy the upper floors where some of the bedrooms have stunning sea views. Garryhinch, Granville Rd, Blackrock
