Classic elegance with modern comforts at jeweller’s Blackrock home for €1.35m

Milliner and jeweller Tahnee Morgan loves old things and her passion is evident in the fine furnishings and details in the bay-fronted home in Frascati Park, Blackrock, where she lives with her husband, Shane, and their three teenage children. The house, nestled in a quiet street behind the Frascati Centre, was built in the 1920s but inside it looks positively Georgian with sash windows, period-style doors, ceiling coving and centre roses installed by the Old Mould Company.

The original house might have been a tad too small for a family of five, but when Tahnee and Shane bought the house, they refurbished it and put in a new kitchen/breakfast/diningroom extension to the rear, creating a warm and welcoming family hub. They installed a Newcastle Design kitchen with a huge centre island and feature lighting overhead, plus a Belfast sink and marble worktops. Hardwood flooring gives the area a nice, solid feel underfoot.

The house is ideally located on a quiet terrace close to Blackrock village, nestled behind high hedgerows and sliding gates. The private, landscaped front garden has mature hedging and railings, a mix of paving and gravel, and space for two cars. The veranda-style front porch has Indian sandstone paving and is perfect for sitting outside in the early evening sun. Behind the Georgian-style front door is an entrance hall with ceramic tiled floor and ceiling cornicing.

To the right is a small study/home office with timber-panelled walls and fitted cupboards, ceiling coving, wall lights and window seats. Behind the drawingroom is the TV/family room with ceramic tiled floor, fitted display shelving, ceiling cornicing and centre rose, with glazed panelled doors leading to the kitchen/dining extension. The guest WC downstairs is a real Victorian-style loo, with tiled floor and vintage-style wallpaper and even a small chandelier.
