How times have changed. If in 2008, you had intentions on Beechmount on Mount Merrion Avenue you would be facing a hefty mortgage as the asking price was €3.15 million. Today this property designed by Deaton Lysaght architects, comes with a more realistic price tag of €1.25 million through estate agent Savills.
Situated on private grounds behind electronic gates and imposing granite pillars, this house has been finished to the highest standard and blends style with comfort.
Clean
A StoLotusan render has been used on the exterior which means dirt and grime cannot adhere, and the surface is cleaned every time it rains.

The front garden has Bournemouth stone gravel framed by a sandstone patio and neat box hedging, offering a taste of what lies inside: a neat, natural expensive interior.
The flooring throughout the ground floor is a mixture of Crema Marfil marble and Merbau hardwood, kept warm underfoot by gas fired under-floor heating.
Even though built in 2005, the house is in turnkey condition and creates a period feeling through high ceilings and tall bespoke timber doors. It is tastefully laid out over three floors extending to 281sq m (3030sq ft).
There are two good sized reception rooms painted in soft neutrals linked by a dividing door, and patio access to the rear garden. Both rooms have remote controlled gas fires set in large marble fireplaces.
The bespoke kitchen has Gaggenau appliances and a Falcon range leading to a floodlit dining area via wrap around windows and patio doors.
The utility has the same finish as the kitchen, with marble flooring and countertops. A small study and bathroom complete the ground floor.
Upstairs on the first floor, via a marble and concrete staircase, are four large bedrooms two of which are en suite. A further set of dark hardwood stairs lead up to the nicest rooms in the house. Lovely vistas of a forested garden next door and views of the sky through the Velux lend a tranquil air.
One of the rooms is used as a bedroom and is en suite, the second seems as if it has never been occupied and would make a great teenager’s den. It comes complete with an integrated audio system.
Beechmount will surely prove popular for viewing. Situated in its prominent position on Mount Merrion Avenue, passersby have long been interested in the fortunes of this boomtime build.
