IRISH property fans are in a frenzy over a luxury home that has hosted celebrity parties on the Irish market for €4.2million - and it's minutes from the beach. Glasthule Lodge, Adelaide Road, Glenageary, Co Dublin , is described as a "hidden gem" and comes with major perks.
The desirable period residence was built in the 1820s. It is set in an acre of lawns, shrubs, and woodland, with an exceptional walled garden to the rear. The Glasthule Lodge home is only a 20-minute walk to the Forty Foot in Dublin Bay, which is popular all year round.
This tranquil and substantial Georgian residence is so private that passers-by on Adelaide Road in Glenageary are largely unaware of its existence. The house and grounds have survived intact for more than 200 years, and modern comforts have been added to its many period features. The historic house is within a few minutes of some of the finest shops, restaurants, and amenities.
And it is a brisk walk from the seafront, close to the Joyce Tower and the Forty Foot. A four-bedroom, double-fronted detached home, its grand gates are the original entrance to the now-demolished Glasthule House. 'The Lodge' has its own private entrance with an electric gate off the leafy laneway, ownership of which also comes with the property.
The front and sides of the main house have a gravel driveway with parking for a substantial number of cars. There is also a substantial two-storey coach house, currently in use as home offices and a music studio. Over the past quarter of a century, Glasthule Lodge has been a haven for the artistic community.
The present owners have entertained stars of rock and roll, the film industry, sporting icons, and well-known political figures in the relaxed atmosphere of their well-lived home and gardens. But it is also a place of silence to appreciate nature, to hear birdsong, and to enjoy the privacy and seclusion of an exclusive property. And you will get the chance to live in the centre of a vibrant part of Dublin with various transport links nearby.
