A unique opportunity to acquire a truly stunning modern home designed and built to exacting standards by de Blacam and Meagher Architects / Lyons Kelly, the quality of which is rarely offered to the market. Set on a generous, wide, site of approximately 0.2 acre (0.08 of a hectare), ideally located a short walk from Ballsbridge Village and DART.
de Blacam and Meagher / Lyons Kelly have created a truly modern classic, designing two wings which create a U shape around the garden, with the join of the “U” being one storey allowing the evening light to enter the enclosed central courtyard which floods the main living accommodation with light.

de Blacam and Meagher / Lyons Kelly have created a truly modern classic, designing two wings which create a U shape around the garden, with the join of the “U” being one storey allowing the evening light to enter the enclosed central courtyard which floods the main living accommodation with light. The central courtyard also has the incredible effect of elongating the garden.
The very creative and considered design can be seen throughout the property from the external wall cladding creating raised planter boxes for climbing rose and clematis, stunning entrance hall, bespoke bronze handrail and metal spindle bronze staircase, Iroko windows and doors, long bench in the kitchen from which one can enjoy views over the garden, ground floor ceiling finished in strips of limed poplar which make the rooms feel cosy despite the 3.30m heigh ceilings with the added functional benefit of helping the acoustics, and indeed the internal study with Crittall style glazed walls & door.
Shrewsbury Park enjoys a location of unparalleled convenience being a short walk to Ballsbridge Village with its wide range of specialist shops, restaurants, and pubs. The Intercontinental Hotel is close by, as is the DART station on Sandymount Avenue. The property is a short stroll from META HQ at Fibonacci Square, The Aviva Stadium, and is within walking distance of the financial heart of Dublin City Centre. Sandymount and Donnybrook Villages are also close by.

The neighbourhood
The neighbourhood
Ballsbridge is a lively, affluent, south-central Dublin village. The famous three-arch stone bridge across the River Dodder still proclaims it as ‘Ball’s Bridge’ in recognition of the original owners of the bridge: the Ball family, well-known Dublin merchants in the 1500s and 1600s.
Today, the neighbourhood is one of Dublin’s most enviable addresses, with a wealth of fine dining, green space, and stunning period homes alongside wide, tree-lined streets.

Today, the neighbourhood is one of Dublin’s most enviable addresses, with a wealth of fine dining, green space, and stunning period homes alongside wide, tree-lined streets. Ballsbridge is home to Herbert Park, spanning approximately 32 acres of greenery, playgrounds, walking paths, sports pitches and weekend markets. There are a number of primary and secondary schools in the area, including St Christopher’s Primary School, St Conleth’s College and Marian College. Although the heart of Ballsbridge is a short stroll from Dublin city centre, a number of bus routes and Dart stations serve the area for ease of access.
Ballsbridge is a Dublin hub for all things sport, culture and dining, with the RDS, the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) headquarters and the Aviva Stadium all located in the neighbourhood, along with local culinary institutions such as The Girl and the Goose Restaurant and the Shelbourne Social. The area is known the world over, in part thanks to the historic homes that now make up the diplomatic residences of Dublin’s Embassy Belt as well as the inclusion of Ailesbury and Shrewsbury Roads on the Irish edition of Monopoly.
Ballsbridge is a historic Dublin neighbourhood, highly sought-after and prestigious, and with all of the amenities needed to create a rich, modern lifestyle at home.
