You know those dramas, set in a not-too-distant future, where everyone’s perfect? You could imagine them living in a house like Druantia. Designed by O’Mahony Pike Architects, this modern five-bed is one of a trio of houses built in 2010 on Blackrock’s Woodlands Park.

All three have been let for between €5,000 and €6,000 a month since then, and James McMahon, of McMahon O'Connor, who handled the lettings, is now handling the sale of Druantia. The house will, McMahon says, particularly appeal to corporate clients with families, because of its proximity to a range of good schools in the area, including Blackrock College, Willow Park, St Andrew's College, Coláiste Íosagáin and Coláiste Eoin.

The 353sq m (3,800sq ft) of accommodation is laid out over three floors, and the entire property has been designed with a wow factor firmly in mind. A large glassed-in porch area leads through to a reception space with a triple-height atrium. You’ll find a kitchen/breakfastroom and livingroom on this level, as well as utility and cloakroom spaces. The kitchen is by Design Yard Dalkey, and there’s also a Britannia range cooker.

The house has been completely refreshed for sale (with a guide price of €2.3 million), so it’s in turn-key condition. The finishes are of exceptionally high quality: teak and marble-tiled floors, lambswool carpets, huge bright windows and extremely generous room sizes. It’s glossy, sleek, and in a part of Dublin that tends to be in big demand – for very good reasons. It’s a great location, the services are fantastic, and it’s also a nice peaceful suburb to come home to at the end of the day.
