IF YOU’VE BEEN dreaming of finding a family-friendly home in one of Dublin’s most sought-after locations, then 57 Shrewsbury Lawn in Cabinteely could be just what you’re looking for. Built in the late 1960s with solid craftsmanship, this dormer bungalow mixes timeless character with modern amenities – and there’s still room to make it your own.
The exterior of this home is eye-catching with its striking Dalkey stone façade and large front garden with plenty of parking.
As you step inside, you’re greeted by a bright and welcoming entrance hall that flows seamlessly into the main social spaces. Double glazed doors lead to an expansive open plan living and dining area, where natural light streams through three large windows. The high quality Krona walnut flooring adds a touch of elegance, while the feature limestone fireplace, complete with a sleek black granite hearth and a multi-fuel stove, creates a cosy atmosphere.
Connected to the dining area is the fully-fitted kitchen, complete with a SMEG range and American-style fridge-freezer. Both are included in the sale. The kitchen has a lovely view of the private back garden, which is perfect for summer barbecues or a relaxing morning coffee. Adjacent to the kitchen, you’ll find a utility room with a downstairs shower room. This flexible space can easily be divided into separate rooms if you prefer more privacy.
One of the most attractive features of this home is its versatility. On the ground floor, there’s a bedroom and a back lounge, both of which open onto the sunny southwest-facing garden. These rooms could easily be reconfigured to create a self-contained granny flat or even a private home office.
Upstairs, there are four more generously sized bedrooms. The main bedroom, complete with an en suite bathroom, is filled with natural light and has ample wardrobe space. The three other double bedrooms all have fitted wardrobes. Both the en suite bathroom and family bathroom include separate shower cubicles and full-sized bathtubs for that extra bit of luxury.
The real gem of this property is the 19 m x 13.25 m back garden. This southwest-facing oasis features a granite sun patio, outdoor power points and a 15.4 m² steel shed, ideal for DIY enthusiasts or extra storage. The garden is walled for privacy, making it a safe space for children and pets to play and run freely. And if you’re thinking about future expansion, the property offers ample room for dormer extensions and back expansions – subject to planning permission, of course.
Beyond the home itself, the location is unbeatable. Just steps away is Kilbogget Park, home to numerous sports clubs, walking paths and playgrounds, making it the perfect spot for families who like to stay active. A short stroll will bring you to the N11 for a great connection to Dublin city centre, UCD and Stillorgan Village in just 30 minutes. You’ll also be near the LUAS at Cherrywood and within easy reach of Cornelscourt’s flagship Dunnes Stores and the upcoming Cherrywood shopping centre.
For families, the abundance of nearby schools is another huge advantage. Cabinteely Community School and St. Laurence’s College are just around the corner.
Whether you’re looking for a family home with room to grow or a property that offers flexible living arrangements, this is a home that truly offers it all—space, style and an unbeatable location in the heart of Cabinteely.
