BUYING A HOUSE can often be a gamble – especially if you’re moving to an area that’s completely new for you. It can be impossible to know what a location is really like until you get your keys, get to know your neighbours and live there for a good amount of time.
One thing that’s sure to put minds at ease is knowing who lived in the house before you. In 23 Lindenvale’s case, the fact that it was built by, and lived in, by a well known estate agent in the area, is sure to be a good sign.
This luxury five-bed home in beautiful Blackrock was built in the ‘90s, but has been refurbished over the years. Thoughtfully designed and in an unbeatable location just minutes from schools, transport and the lovely Blackrock village, this was once the family home of Janet Carroll, the person at the helm of the estate agent selling it.
Located off the Proby Square area, it offers a perfect blend of modern comfort and refined elegance. It sits tucked away in a peaceful cul-de-sac and has been meticulously redesigned to reflect both contemporary style and environmental efficiency. With 244 m² of living space, this home is a true sanctuary, combining luxury, comfort and convenience with the added bonus of a B2 BER. From the solar panels that heat the water to the underfloor heating and triple-glazed windows, 23 Lindenvale is a sustainable living dream.
Once designed as a five-bedroom home, 23 Lindenvale has undergone a remarkable transformation. It now has five luxurious bathrooms and an opulent main suite with a private balcony. This home ensures comfort for both family and guests.
The house is full to the brim with bespoke details, including handcrafted built-in cabinetry by Christoff Interiors. Every inch of the home exudes quality and attention to detail, from the solid oak floors to the underfloor heating that ensures comfort year-round. Triple-glazed Carlson windows and solar panels further enhance its energy efficiency, making this a warm and welcoming house no matter the season.
One of the standout rooms is the library, offering serene views of the landscaped garden, bespoke shelving, and a cosy Stanley stove.
The expansive kitchen, breakfast room and dining area form the heart of the home, complete with custom Christoff cabinetry and state-of-the-art appliances. Picture mornings in the bright breakfast nook or evenings spent entertaining guests in the open plan dining room, where the thoughtfully installed mood lighting creates the perfect ambiance. The home flows effortlessly into a large family extension with floor-to-ceiling windows and access to the manicured garden — a space ideal for relaxation or hosting gatherings.
On the first floor, the main suite has a southwest-facing balcony that offers stunning views of the mature trees and greenery. This bedroom, originally two rooms, is now a lavish space that is flooded with natural light. The en suite bathroom is equally impressive, with dual shower heads, heated towel rails and elegant tiling.
The remaining bedrooms are designed with family in mind, each fitted with Christoff wardrobes and finished to a high standard. What’s more is that each bedroom has en suite bathroom, ensuring privacy and comfort for everyone.
The landscaped garden is another standout feature, designed for anyone with somewhat green fingers but may not have the time to fully dedicate. It comes complete with a herb garden and high-grade artificial grass. There is also off-street parking, secure gates and space for an electric vehicle charger.
Living in Blackrock comes with many benefits for growing families. Top schools, transport links and everyday amenities are all within easy reach. Schools like Blackrock College and St. Andrew’s are just a short walk away, while the nearby DART station and bus services provide quick access to Dublin city centre, UCD and beyond. Enjoy a leisurely stroll to Blackrock village, with its thriving cafés, restaurants and shops, or take a cycle along scenic coastal routes.
For those who enjoy active living, Blackrock has it all — tennis, sailing, rugby and swimming clubs are just around the corner, along with well-maintained parks.
It’s certainly not hard to see why
