Kenah Hill is a truly distinctive Victorian residence built c. 1871 and immaculately presented, occupying a prominent, elevated position on approximately 2.8 acres of mature, manicured grounds. Nestled at the top of St. George’s Avenue off Killiney Hill Road, this magnificent property enjoys commanding, panoramic views stretching from Killiney Bay to Bray Head.

A stunning cut-stone wall, wrought iron railings and electronically controlled entrance gates lead to the property, where a sweeping driveway winds towards the house. The drive culminates in a circular forecourt centered around a striking feature fountain, and it is here that the impressive Kenah Hill reveals itself as one of Dublin’s finest homes.

Kenah Hill having undergone an extensive and sensitive refurbishment exudes luxury at every turn. The interiors are a testament to exquisite craftsmanship, featuring rich colours, luxurious fabrics, hand-painted wall treatments, gilding, and opulent silk wallpapers. The result is a home of grand proportions that remains welcoming and warm. Spacious reception rooms offer the ideal setting for grand-scale entertaining, while a carefully designed layout seamlessly connects formal living areas with family spaces, making this a residence as perfect for ambassadorial functions as it is for comfortable family living.

Boasting over 10,000 sq. ft. (929 sq. m) of accommodation, the home offers generously proportioned rooms with soaring ceilings and ornate cornicing. Beyond the house the grounds provide absolute privacy and tranquillity with mature landscaping and beautiful recreational amenities, including an all-weather tennis court and a large indoor heated swimming pool housed in a separate pool pavilion.

St. George’s Avenue, with its winding path and high stone walls, offers privacy and seclusion cleverly shielding Kenah Hill along its length. The location, with its rugged topography and coastal vistas, is often compared to the Italian Riviera. This prestigious area has long been home to some of Dublin’s most successful and well-known residents, drawn by its breathtaking views, rich history, and proximity to coastal amenities.
