House for €10m on Dublin's most expensive road has infinity pool in the back garden

Located on Ailesbury Road, in the heart of Ballsbridge, the red-brick two-storey, over-basement property is impressive to look at from the entrance with steps leading up to the front door.

Hallway.

The five-bedroom house covers 473 square meters and spans over three full storeys. It has been significantly remodeled to be a modern, spacious home while still retaining some of the original period details such as its sandstone and granite columned portico entrance.

Formal reception room.

At the front of the house, the formal reception room has been reimagined as a fine study and family room with wall paneling and floor-to-ceiling cabinetry with a gas fire in the original fireplace.

Traditional cornices and period details have been meticulously restored along with the shutters on the sash windows. The floor is chevron parquet in cherry wood, which matches the inset shelving throughout the room.

A second more traditional reception room is located at the back of the house and has a cosy feel with a velvet wool carpet, set in a parquet surround. The period details can be seen in the intricate cornices and ceiling roses which have been restored as well as the open fire in the original marble hearth and fireplace.

Kitchen.

The property has two kitchens, with the main kitchen at the rear of the house with steps leading down into the dramatic double-height dining room. The kitchen is designed to be a feature in its own right with custom cabinetry, dark granite worktops and a black Aga in the heart of it.

Meanwhile, the second kitchen is located at a lower level next to the utility room and leads into the main family room that also functions as a cinema, ideal for hosting movie nights with a hidden bar, projector and screen.

The bedrooms are large and have plenty of space as well as built-in wardrobes and desks, with one of the five rooms currently being used as a gym.

Large bedroom.

The main suite is comprised of an elegant bedroom to the front, with walnut wall finishings disguising doors on both sides of the bed, leading to its own dressing room.

Bathroom with a free-standing bath.

In the garden, however, is the jewel of this property: the natural infinity swimming pool. It mimics the mechanics of a river or stream using a biological filter, plant life and pump.

The 'incredibly private' garden is south-facing and includes a BBQ and terrace which would be the perfect place to host a pool party!

If that hasn't impressed you yet, the house also features a wine cellar and a sauna. If only we had €10 million in the bank!
