Substantial Foxrock house built in period style for €2.55m

Tigon, a substantial home in the heart of leafy Foxrock in south Dublin , is a modern house built like a period house. It has the attractive redbrick facade, the coving, the ornate centre roses, and an overall air of old-world elegance. But it is not shaped like a typical period home. The property, spread over a generous 354sq m , has angular windows, vaulted ceilings, twisty staircases, hidden corners and interesting spaces.

The owner built Tigon in 2002, incorporating top-quality fixtures and fittings in the build, including oak staircases, doors and architraves, granite worktops in the kitchen, and gorgeous grey marble tiling in the spacious kitchen/breakfast area. The owner also put in old-style chandeliers and crystal light fittings, but they do not come with the sale, so new owners will have to come up with their own lighting ideas.

A large utility room lies off the kitchen, and a door leads out to a side passage, with the two-car garage opposite. The garage is ideal for anyone who owns a classic car, and the owner installed a handy space-saving mechanism for easily lifting the hard top from a convertible and keeping it suspended near the roof until it’s time to put it back on.From the kitchen, another set of oak stairs winds up to a mezzanine reception room/study, which is in use as a home office.

The attic room on the second floor runs the entire length of the house and is divided into two separate, spacious rooms fitted with Velux windows. You could do a lot with this attic space and there’s also a bathroom, shower and storage room up here.Outside, there’s parking on the gravel drive for several cars behind electric security gates, and there’s a separate pedestrian gate.
