Art-deco gem inspired by work of Finnish architect in Foxrock for €1.995m

Aghanloo is an architectural gem nestled on a third-of-an-acre site in Foxrock, south Dublin. You can’t miss it – look for the striking facade, with its eight vertical strips of opaque glass bricks running down the front.

The current owners bought Aghanloo in 1987, and they have a framed colour copy of Johnson’s original architectural drawings on display in the livingroom. In 2006 they carried out a huge refurbishment, adding a kitchen/breakfastroom extension downstairs and a main bedroom suite upstairs, significantly expanding the living area and carefully finishing it to blend in beautifully with the overall period design.

A home office to the front has a dual aspect, and could also serve as a TV room/den. The diningroom has two windows looking out to the front and is spacious enough for a large dinner party. A cloakroom, utility room and guest WC complete the downstairs space.The stairs have a concrete banister that evokes a Mediterranean villa, and they lead up to five sizeable double bedrooms, with the ceiling heights of nearly three metres adding to the roominess.
