A Dalkey house bought about eight years ago for €1.8 million, extended, revamped and renamed, is for sale through Sherry FitzGerald for €1.5 million.
St Brendan’s, formerly St Mary’s, a four-bedroom house on a 0.18-acre site on the corner of Cunningham Road and Knock-na-Cree Park, was rented as a corporate let for around €4,000 a month. Now staged for sale by Fitout Interiors, and painted in mostly neutral shades, this very bright, modern house comes to the market pretty much in walk-in condition.
Originally a bungalow, it was rebuilt as a two-storey house and has some good sea views from a raised deck that wraps around one side and the back of the house, a corner window in the family room, a picture window in the main bedroom and a window in its large en suite.

The front door of St Brendan’s opens into a wide, very bright double-height hall. It is flanked by two very long open-plan rooms: on the left is the family room-cum-kitchen, on the right, the slightly more formal living room/dining room. All but the kitchen floors are polished timber.
Picture window
The family room is towards the back of the house, taking advantage of the views; French windows open at the side onto the raised deck, which overlooks a modest-sized lawn. The kitchen, with its polished countertops and island unit, and integrated Neff appliances, is to the front of the house.
The living room/dining room is painted a deep green/blue, has an imposing fireplace, lots of windows at front, back and side and French windows onto the raised deck. A study beside the living room also opens onto the deck. There’s a smart, fully-tiled downstairs toilet and a utility room.
Upstairs the main bedroom has a picture window, a wall of walk-in wardrobes in a concealed dressing area behind the bed and a large, fully tiled en suite with bath, shower, bidet and double sinks.
There are three more bedrooms, two doubles – one of them en suite – and one single, as well as a fully tiled bathroom.
There’s parking for several cars in the gravelled front garden behind electronic gates. The property is right on the corner where Cunningham Road, a steep climb up from Ardeevin Road, curves to the right. It’s a very short walk from St Brendan’s to Dalkey Dart station.
