Contemporary cottage home for €399,000

Two-bedroomed property in Killiney with mountain views

The aptly named Mountain View Road – the views are of the Dublin Mountains – is a sweet run of cottages built just over 100 years ago, off Killiney’s Military Road. Number 3, which is for sale for €399,000 with Sherry FitzGerald, is a double-fronted house, with 83sq m (893sq ft) of living space. It’s a super spot, a short walk from Killiney Dart Station and beach, Killiney village and Dalkey Hill.

Refurbished in a style that marries cottage with contemporary, it has an internal granite feature wall that runs the length of the hall, with a skylight above to bring in more natural light. On the contemporary side of the equation there’s underfloor heating throughout and a well-appointed kitchen, while the cottage feel is there in the wooden floors, restored sash windows and wooden shutters.

The kitchen/dining-room is open plan, and there’s also a separate lounge with open fire, plus two bedrooms and a bathroom that includes a Jacuzzi bath and double shower. There’s off-street parking for two cars at the front, while old cut stone walls enclose the smaller outside space to the rear, which is reached by a glass door from the dining area. Viewing this Saturday from noon to 1pm.
