7 AILESBURY ROAD is a home that certainly backs up the street’s high position on Irish Monopoly boards. This huge 473 m², five-bed home has just hit the market for a whopping €12 million.
Past its elegant sandstone and granite columned portico lies an impeccably designed interior that’s been refurbished and extended by AOF Architects. Spanning across three full and four half storeys, this home has been thoughtfully remodelled to seamlessly blend family living spaces with impressive entertainment areas.
Step inside and the opulence is evident right away. The floor is tiled in marble and sets the tone of what lies ahead. The formal reception room has been reimagined as a stylish study and family room, showcasing wall panelling and floor-to-ceiling cabinetry with a gas fire. Yet it has kept its original fireplace charm.
Another reception room to the back is adorned with restored cornices and period details and it overlooks the garden designed by Digby Brady, the Kilkenny-based firm known for their high profile projects.
The kitchen at the hall floor is a fabulous feature that’s sure to entice everyone, even those who don’t cook too often. Designed for both practicality and entertainment, it’s filled with custom cabinetry, dark granite countertops and a central black Aga.
The high-end kitchen seamlessly connects to the striking double-height dining area, which offers a stunning setting for hosting guests and almost brings the outdoors inside thanks to the huge glass panes. The gorgeous terrace can be access from here as well as from the original part of the home.
The garden level surprises with its spacious family room that’s currently a cinema room further proving that this is a home to entertain in. It’s also home to a hidden bar, sure to elevate any movie night.
One of the five bedrooms also make up the garden level, so it’s ideal for any overnight guests that may need their privacy. At the moment though, it is being used as a gym. Beside it is a luxurious bathroom with a sauna, too.
Even more enticing for guests will be the extra kitchen at this level, which is also home to the utility room and plenty of storage.
The upper floors house well-appointed bedrooms, including a large bedroom suite, two double bedrooms and a luxurious main bedroom with its own dressing room and en suite bathroom. The top floor offers a serene bathroom with a freestanding bath and a separate toilet, too.
The fixtures and fittings throughout the bedrooms and four bathrooms could fool you into thinking you’re staying in a five-star resort.
Doors at garden level, from the double height dining area as well as the cinema room, step out to the impressive terrace that has an infinity pool and ample options for outdoor dining and entertaining. The landscaped and professionally designed space faces south, so it gets the best of the sunshine, too.
The property may be BER exempt but the ground-source heat pump is sure to keep things cosy and the hot water flowing. Secure off-street parking behind electric gates add to the exclusivity of this home.
This property sets the standard for luxurious living in an area that needs very little introduction if Dublin is where you have your sights.
