A rare opportunity has surfaced in Dublin’s prestigious Donnybrook area: a stunning, Hamptons-inspired home has been listed for €4.95 million (US$5.73 million), marking its first appearance on the market in over four decades.
Originally a dormer bungalow owned by the same family since 1982, the residence was comprehensively redesigned in 2006 by noted architect Georgina Hutton, who transformed it into an open-plan, coastal-chic retreat blending East Coast sophistication with Irish charm.
Bespoke Design Meets Garden Serenity
Set on half an acre of mature, manicured grounds, the home features a tranquil, Japanese-inspired garden by Rachel Lamb, celebrated for her work at Ballynahinch Castle. Sun-drenched and serene, the garden includes tree-shaded seating, a charming pergola, and spacious terraces perfect for entertaining or private reflection.
Inside, the design continues with soft neutral tones, curated antiques, and natural light pouring through French doors. British designer Serena Williams-Ellis infused the space with timeless elegance, while a bespoke Chalon kitchen and floors by Stonell London add premium finishes.
Generational Luxury with Modern Comforts
The home spans 5,024 square feet, offering five spacious bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms. Features include:
- A cozy drawing room with twin sitting areas and a fireplace
- Dual terraces for indoor-outdoor flow
- A temperature-controlled wine cellar
- A second catering kitchen and linen room
- A study with custom built-ins
- Parking for four vehicles
Electric wooden gates open onto a gravel drive, creating a sense of privacy and prestige from the moment of arrival.
An Enviable Donnybrook Location
Situated on Greenfield Park, a quiet cul-de-sac near the heart of Dublin, the property lies steps from University College Dublin, and is surrounded by top-tier primary and secondary schools such as Muckross College and Blackrock College.
The lively villages of Donnybrook and Ballsbridge—renowned for their cafes, boutiques, and fine dining—are within walking distance. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate Herbert Park, Elm Park Golf Club, and Sandymount Beach, all located nearby.
“This is a once-in-a-generation home,” says listing agent Catherine O’Connor of Colliers Dublin. “It’s both luxurious and deeply livable—offering elegance, privacy, and proximity to the best of Dublin living.”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtHsnip3UcY
