TUCKED WITHIN A prestigious gated community called North Shore, No. 3 is an architectural gem that is the very definition of luxury coastal living. Located in popular Greystones and set on .692 acres of landscaped grounds, this five-bed Hamptons-style home combines timeless design with modern functionality, offering stunning views of the Irish Sea from almost every corner.
Approached by a long private driveway, the striking facade of No. 3, or Foggyhill, impresses straight away with its striking floor-to-ceiling windows and arched entrance porch. The home’s elevated position makes sure that sunlight bathes the interiors throughout the day, particularly in the south facing reception areas.
Step inside the spacious hallway, and you’re met with a sense of grandeur from the word go. The oak-floored living room, positioned at the heart of the home, is perfect for hosting guests. Dual aspects open the space to the lush gardens, with seamless access to a sunlit garden room and deck.
The open plan kitchen is a chef’s dream, fit with bespoke cabinetry, hardwood countertops and top-tier appliances. An inset wood-burning stove adds warmth, while four large windows frame the garden views. Double doors lead to a west-facing patio – a prime spot for dining or enjoying sunsets by the water feature.
Upstairs, the five bedrooms include a main suite that benefits from a corner window that captures the sunrise. A private deck with a hot tub offers the perfect escape, while the spa-like en suite bathroom includes a jacuzzi tub and walk-in shower. The main bedroom might steal the show, but each bedroom features unique decor and exceptional attention to detail.
The northwest wing houses a flexible leisure area that is used as a gym and games room right now. It could easily become a sixth bedroom, art studio or even a separate granny flat, if needed, however. Upstairs, a cosy TV room and a fully fitted home office is ideal for the hybrid or remote worker. The attic storage and planning potential for expanded Velux windows will allow whoever buys this house to customise it further.
Designed by garden designer Paul Doyle, the grounds of No. 3 combine tranquility and utility. A mix of open play spaces and secluded seating areas caters to every age and activity. Highlights include a limestone seating area adjacent to a water feature, a BBQ zone and an elevated front garden accessed by stepping stones.
Situated just 2.5 km from the Greystones Harbour and Marina, families will appreciate the proximity to top schools, including St. Gerards and Temple Carrig, while commuters benefit from easy access to the N11 and M50 as well as the town’s DART station.
Greystones itself is a gem of coastal Ireland, blending natural beauty with modern amenities. From scenic trails like the famous cliff walk to vibrant cafes and boutique shops, there’s no doubt that Foggyhill would be a great place to call home.
