Mullery O'Gara are delighted to present this unique, contemporary cottage oozing character and charm on the cusp of the city.
This completely transformed and superbly modernised, charming cottage is a one-of-a-kind home, perfectly positioned in this highly convenient and popular location on the cusp of the city. Combining timeless character with luxurious contemporary design - no detail has been overlooked in its extension, renovation and thoughtful enhancement by its builder-owner.
Attention to detail is evident throughout.
The interiors are a harmonious blend of eclectic sophistication and relaxed luxury, designed to feel lived-in and personal. High ceilings, exposed brick walls, sash windows with shutters and charming nooks and crannies celebrate the cottage’s heritage, while the architect-designed contemporary extension offers a serene, modern space flooded with calm and light. Every room features a curated mix of vintage and contemporary finishes and rich textures that create warmth and comfort, while thoughtfully placed lighting and large windows allow natural light to cascade across the interiors. The color palette perfectly matches the home - muted and earthy, enhancing the cosy yet airy ambiance throughout.
No stone has been left unturned in the transformation of this cottage, making it effectively a new home within a beautifully preserved shell. The heating system has been upgraded to gas fire central heating, with all wiring, plumbing and insulation replaced during the comprehensive renovation in 2018. Windows, flooring and structural elements have been upgraded and a thoughtfully designed extension has added 61 sq.m of really impressive living space. The owners were careful to retain the original roof slates when replacing the roof, preserving the home’s historic character. High-spec systems such as powerful showers, water management systems and an Insinkerator ensure modern convenience. Picture windows throughout the property frame the internal courtyard, connecting interior spaces to the fully landscaped gardens, which provide sun-soaked privacy and a tranquil retreat.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to combine character with modern living.
A welcoming hall with natural stone flooring leads to the main bedroom, complete with a mezzanine and to Bedroom 4 (currently used as a study) featuring its original fireplace. A characterful hallway then opens into the extended, light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, where large sliding doors seamlessly connect to the sun-drenched patio. There are a further two bedrooms, one very spacious double to the front and one to the rear that opens directly onto the garden, alongside a contemporary shower room and a practical laundry room.
Outside, a gorgeous, detached summer house provides guest accommodation and a gym - this building provides versatile additional space as it would also make an ideal home office/studio. It comprises open plan kitchen/living/dining, bedroom with shower room.
A wide side entrance ensures easy access to the fully landscaped garden.
Kimmage is a leafy, highly desirable suburb offering city convenience. Residents enjoy excellent schools, local shops, cafés and easy access to parks and riverside walks along the Dodder, while Dublin city centre is just minutes away.
This cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home fully reimagined for modern living- a tranquil, luxurious and exceptionally stylish residence in one of Dublin’s most sought-after and convenient areas.
