BEAUMONT LODGE, NESTLED in a peaceful location in Churchtown, is certainly a lesson in contemporary residential design. This detached, single level home, spanning a generous 168 m², marries modern architectural flair with the charm of the original cottage it once was. Expertly transformed by the award-winning Darragh Breathnach of DUA Architects, the impressive home is filled with thoughtful design touches and top-notch craftsmanship throughout.
From the moment you enter through the secure, electronic gates, it’s clear Beaumont Lodge is something special. The understated white façade, accented by steel reveals and sleek, concealed gutters, showcases a minimalist exterior that sets you up for the bright and cleverly configured spaces behind the front door. Once inside, the design unveils itself with clean lines, light-filled rooms and a carefully curated blend of materials such as stone, timber, brick and brass.
Finished in 2021, the current owners spared no expense in transforming the original cottage into a home that feels timeless and cutting-edge in equal measure. The remodel included a state-of-the-art extension to the back of the property that seamlessly connects the old and new. This was achieved through a striking central corridor that opens onto a sun-drenched south facing courtyard.
One of the standout features of Beaumont Lodge is its flexibility. The original cottage now houses three spacious double bedrooms, including a main bedroom with a luxurious en suite bathroom. Each bedroom features vaulted ceilings, exposed stone walls and custom-built storage that maintains the uncluttered look throughout. strategically placed skylights throughout allow natural light to flood every corner.
In the new extension, you’ll find the heart of the home – a stunning open plan kitchen, dining and living area designed for both entertaining and relaxed family living. The bespoke kitchen, with sleek white cabinetry and granite countertops, is equipped with top-of-the-line Siemens Studio Line appliances, including two ovens, a sous vide drawer and a show-stopping granite island that can seat up to 15 guests. The living area’s soaring ceilings and wall-to-wall windows create a sense of spaciousness.
Both the en suite bathroom and family bathroom have luxurious finishes, with granite flooring, brass fixtures and skylights that bring in even more natural light. The vaulted ceilings and exposed stone continue the theme of combining modern comforts with the home’s original character. A utility room, complete with ample storage and modern appliances, makes sure practical needs are met without compromising on style.
Beaumont Lodge’s thoughtful design extends to the outdoors, where the south facing courtyard and back garden offer spaces for relaxation. Landscaped with low-maintenance in mind, the gardens feature a combination of artificial lawn, granite slabs and well-stocked planter boxes. The detached, 15 m² home office or playroom gives an extra flexible space. It’s insulated and finished to the same high standard as the main house, too.
With an impressive BER of A3, Beaumont Lodge is as efficient as it is stylish. The heating, ventilation and hot water systems are designed with the future in mind, making this home an attractive choice for eco-conscious buyers who value sustainability just as much as they do luxury.
Beyond its design and functionality, Beaumont Lodge benefits from a prime Churchtown location. Excellent local shops, schools and parks are all within easy reach, while Dundrum Town Centre and several golf clubs, including The Castle and Milltown, are just minutes away. The M50 provides quick access to the wider Dublin area, and with the LUAS nearby, commuting to the city centre is an absolute breeze.
A home where contemporary architecture, luxurious finishes and practical family living come together in perfect harmony, Beaumont Lodge ticks every box for anyone house hunting in south Dublin.
