This detached, five-bedroom domicile at Rokeby Park, a roomy, low-density complex developed by O’Flynn Capital Partners in Lucan, Co Dublin, achieved its current lavish status following the purchase in 2019 by the current proprietors. No aspect was left as it was; the owners undertook a comprehensive renovation of the interiors. Now, the property, 42 Rokeby Park, is listed for sale by Sherry FitzGerald, tagged with a price of €1.275 million.
The dwelling’s transformation was inspired by the opulence of luxury resorts and hotels the owners experienced in Dubai. They desired every section of the house to radiate exclusivity, which they certainly accomplished, including constructing an extension. The renovations resulted in a sheltered entrance porch with an imposing doorway ushering guests into the entrance hall.
Inside, sizeable mirrors embellish the walls, framed by freshly laid panelling lining the entrance corridor. On one side lies a lounge with custom-made units on each side of the fireplace, and on the other side, a study featuring attractive walnut shelves set into the wall and presently utilised as a music room.
Each of the five bathrooms was revamped and now showcases eye-catching fittings and upscale tiling, extending over the property’s three floors, which span 263 sq m or 2,830 sq ft.
The need for expanded entertaining space led to the rear extension, extending into the garden, creating a dramatic and stylish environment. Dark grey porcelain tiles continue the interior to the outdoor patio, with a lengthy dining table and a TV set against a textured wall overlooking a long gas fire. Behind this dining space, sliding ribbed doors reveal a lengthy, elevated unit that houses a full home bar on one side and all the necessary dining utensils on the other side.
The kitchen, sourced from Cawleys, boasts a Quooker tap and quartz worktops, complete with an Insinkerator food disposer. The owners personally adapted the design of this area as well as the utility room, now hosting a vast range of fitted cabinets.
The property, located at the edge of an extension, boasts of towering 3-metre doors that lead to a beautifully revamped garden. Once a sloping space, the garden has been carefully altered by the proprietors who have levelled it and then reinforced with a wall at the far end. Adding to the ambience of the outdoor area are elevated zinc pots filled with plants, numerous lights, water features and a hot tub for relaxing after a round of golf. The outside space further includes a sauna, a remarkable barbecue arrangement, an outdoor stove on the patio, and a compact room for work or gaming.
The house itself contains four bedrooms on the initial floor, with two of them having an en suite. All these bedrooms are furnished with top-notch built-in cupboards. One bedroom is currently being utilised as a dressing room.
The master suite resides on the top floor. This dual aspect suite is remarkably charming and tastefully adorned. One of the Velux windows can be opened to function as a mini veranda. Concealed behind the bed, one would find a series of wardrobes along with another en suite.
The owners have plans of relocating to a renovation undertaking nearer the city. As their offspring grow, the family is spending increasing amounts of time in the urban area. They confess that they would be left missing the secluded and tranquil location, not to mention Lucan with its quaint shops and village charm. Given the nearby schools such as King’s Hospital, Castleknock College and Mount Sackville, this property is bound to lure families. Plus, it’s merely a short drive away from the N4, leading directly to the M50.
