5. St. Ann’s, Killiney, Co. Dublin, Ireland
This fine circa-1860 house is set within 1.35 acres of glorious gardens overlooking Killiney Bay in County Dublin.
In his best-selling 2007 book, Between the Mountains to the Sea, Irish author and historian Peter Pearson described St Ann’s as “a large Victorian house with terrace gardens, with unusual features of rounded corners, and a small gable in the center of the façade.” The property was immortalized in the painting St Anne’s, with Barrington’s Tower by George Du Noyer.
St Ann’s was brought into the 21st century by the present owners. Among the updates is a most impressive bespoke dressing room in the principal suite (one of five bedrooms in the main house).
The home is further enhanced with a modern kitchen extension, indoor pool, gym, wine cellar, media room, games room, guest and staff quarters, and a sun terrace with an uninterrupted vista of the sea.
