Eagle Lodge: a prestigious villa combining history and modern luxury
Nestled behind secure electric gates for vehicles and pedestrians, and ideally situated in the picturesque location that is Glenageary, Eagle Lodge is a magnificent Tudor-style house built circa 1850 offering a stylish and light-filled modern interior that spans approximately 300 sq. m.
This magnificent home has been fully renovated, modernized and extended, and completed in June 2022. It now comes to the market in turnkey condition, offering everything required of today's modern lifestyle, while retaining many of its original features, including ornate cornices, central rosettes, high ceilings and beautiful fireplaces.
As you step through the hall door, you'll find yourself in a generous entrance hall with plenty of storage hidden behind the woodwork, a checkroom and a bathroom. Double doors lead from the hall to a magnificent open kitchen / dining / family room with excellent natural light and three access points to granite flagstone patios enjoying immense privacy and ideal for alfresco dining. A stunning marble wall adjacent to the butler's pantry/cave provides a luxurious family focal point. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large laundry and shoe room, both offering excellent storage, with the shoe room opening onto the rear patio. The remaining living space on the first floor includes a superb master suite with a large dressing room and luxurious en-suite shower and a private garden.
An impressive living room is located on the second floor, as is the library/study, both with beautiful ornate cornices, central rosettes and marble fireplaces. These extremely impressive rooms are further enhanced by magnificent views over the rooftops of Glenageary and Dublin Bay to Howth. The library's minstrels' gallery connects to the upper floors, which include three bedrooms, a guest toilet and a reading area.
Situated amid unsurpassed private landscaped gardens and grounds of approximately 0.04 H (0.1 acre), Eagle Lodge enjoys a magical setting amid an abundance of magnificent specimen flowers, shrubs, trees, hedges, perennials and raised beds. The garden design has been carefully and thoughtfully planned for seasonal turnover and ensures that this exceptional property also benefits from an extremely high degree of seclusion and privacy, an outstanding feature of this home. There is vehicular access from Adelaide Road and behind secure solid electric gates is excellent off-street parking.
This enviable location is second to none and provides a truly wonderful environment in which to raise a family. Within a 5km radius are the wonderful facilities and amenities of Glasthule, Sandycove, Dalkey and Dun Laoghaire Town Centre. These include local and extensive stores, cafes, bars and some of the best restaurants in south County Dublin. Dun Laoghaire harbor is exceptionally convenient, with two jetties and a large marina, as well as four yacht clubs - ideal for sea and sailing enthusiasts. In recent times, a designated cycle path now links Blackrock town center with Sandycove harbor and Forty Foot. There is a wide choice of highly regarded primary and secondary schools, including Harold School, Castle Park, Rathdown (now co-educational), Loreto Abbey Dalkey and CBC Monkstown, to name but a few. The area is also well served by public transport with regular bus routes and DART at Glenageary on adjacent Station Road, making it easy to travel to and from the city center and beyond. The N11, Cherrywood Industrial Estate, LUAS and M50 are all within easy reach of this beautiful family home.
There is an abundance of leisure and recreational facilities in the surrounding area, such as Glenageary Lawn Tennis Club on Silchester Road, Cuala GAA/Dalkey United Football Club, People's Park, beautiful walks along the seafront and Dalkey Hills, swimming and bathing as well as a selection of field hockey, soccer and rugby clubs.
