IT’S HARD TO think of a better location to live in than Blackrock.
The illustrious south Dublin suburb is not only home to some of the best schools in Ireland, but it’s also a foodie hub with its own Michelin-starred restaurant and a nationally famous weekend market.
Artio, a detached home with five bedrooms, is in the heart of all this, just a ten-minute stroll from Blackrock’s main village.
Built in 2010, Artio recently underwent a facelift by Manny O’Hara of home-staging specialists House & Garden, according to The Irish Independent. Sisters Manny and Catherine specialise in making homes more appealing to potential buyers with interior styling and subtle re-designs of each room.
It’s an approach that has paid off, too, with an airy, relaxed and liveable feeling carrying through each room of the 306 sq mt property.
Walk up the imposing granite steps, and you will find a grand reception hall with polished marble flooring. On this floor, there’s a guest bathroom suite, spacious double bedroom, and drawing room with a magnificent fireplace.
Used by the current owners for entertaining, this room is the standout area on the entrance floor.
At garden level, the kitchen steals the show. It opens into the back garden, and is fitted with bespoke hand-painted units from Dalkey Design.
The kitchen’s appliances are included in the sale of the property and include a Liebherr American-style fridge/freezer, and a six-ring range.
Of the five bedrooms in Artio, three have en-suite bathroom access, and all have sizeable fitted wardrobes. The property also has underfloor heating throughout its three floors, and double glazed windows throughout.
Outside, the compact garden is home to olive and Japanese maple trees, as well as ferns, and a sunken patio area has been specially designed to catch the last few rays of sunlight each day.

Artio is on sale for €1,795,000 from Sherry FitzGerald Blackrock via Daft.ie.

60 fires in 24 hours? Any culprits yet?
@Oh Mammy: Clearly climate change is the real culprit.
@Oh Mammy: I presume embers blowing in the wind has started up a large proportion of those.
@Brendan O’Brien: poor climate numpties are making zero headway convincing anyone, it’s hilarious lol
@John Jon Jon: Dull bulbs like you can’t be convinced: they only need to be outnumbered.
@Brendan O’Brien: I try to increase my carbon footprint every year :) are you getting treatment for your climate anxiety lol
I wonder what will be the consequences for the lefty arsonist. Bet the journal won’t report on the Tenerife arsonist. Just more climate propaganda. Ryan, gates and Soros must pay well.
While people die, and nature is being destroyed before our eyes, global heating denial is spreading like wildfire among some anonymous keyboard warriors not personally affected.
What could this be saying about them?
Terrible loss of life .. the world is burning .. even canada .. at this rate the Falklands will be the new Ibiza
The far left are now starting fires to push their climate agenda lol
Arsonists, Climate Warriors, Left/Right politics??? Is this all we can say on the death of all these people, immaterial of where they are from? Rest in Peace, all who have perished. May your God comfort your families and loved ones
have your say
