Description

Janet Carroll is delighted to offer Number One, Idrone Sur Mer, for sale by Private Treaty. A very rare opportunity to purchase a period gem in turnkey condition throughout. This very impressive, end of terrace home enjoys uninterrupted panoramic sea views. It is by far the choice property on this iconic terrace of only 27 houses. Located off the Main Street in Blackrock Village, it is overlooking one of Ireland's most sought-after sea front locations on Dublin Bay. Acquired in December 2010 in a very sad state, it is now truly in turnkey condition throughout and enjoys its full original enclosed south facing, private garden, with rear access for off street parking. Set on the corner site, it has wrap around landscaped grounds. Brought back to its former grandeur with many modern features added, it was lovingly refurbished by its current owners at a higher cost than the purchase price! The refurbishment was not rushed and took a full 2 years of skilled work supervised by a conservation architect, who took the house back to the bare walls. It was fully upgraded and modernised with underfloor heating, damp proofed, period features restored, insulated and extended to the highest standards possible for such a special listed home. The house is approached from the seafront via a pedestrian gate and pathway through the front garden and to wide granite steps. The period square doorcase makes for an impressive entrance to the magnificent reception hall. Extending to approximately 293.3sqm/3157sqft, the property is spread over three floors and is characterised by stunning period features, large open rooms with high ceilings and large recessed windows with extensive sea views. The living accommodation is positioned on the first floor over the garden level to maximise the enjoyment of the sea views. Idrone Terrace is one of Blackrock most complete formal terrace of period houses. The 27 homes were built over a 20-year period, beginning in late 1840. An enviable location, the property lies between the sea and the Main Street of Blackrock, therefore enjoys a beautiful quiet coastline setting yet is minutes' walk to all the amenities that Blackrock has to offer including excellent schools, speciality shops, boutiques, cafes, bars and restaurants and expanding shopping centres. The DART station is only c. 600 metres away. This type of property does not come to the market very often. It has a perfect marriage of old and new, in the area which is steeped in history and has carved out a niche way of living/ lifestyle for its residents. Viewing of this exceptional period home is not to be missed.

Bedroom 5: c. 4.50m x 4.74m Built in wardrobes, restored shutters on windows, built in shelving and built in dressing table. Beautiful view of St. John's Church. OUTSIDE The front of the house is facing the sea. A pedestrian gate opens into a pathway that brings you to the steps of the house. Lovely manicured garden on the side with plants and hedges. To the rear there is a split-level garden that is private without compromising on sea views. Box hedging and an external fence are tremendous in providing a sense of privacy in a location that is supremely central. There is a mixture of mature planting and landscaping with stonework that adds for a special feel to this garden. Mature hedging to the rear separates the gravelled parking area which will fit 4 5 cars and currently has a playhouse and storage shed. The main garden measures circa 14.5 metres wide x 23 metres long. The lower courtyard is set in granite cobble lock and has views of the nearby St. John's church. The services for the house are cleverly positioned in an external room under the garden steps. The side of the house is yet another external space that is perfect for a separate planting patch or indeed for entertaining. To have a garden of this size and in this condition is a real find but couple that with the location of number 1 Idrone Terrace, it is practically unheard of. The rear garden is accessible via an auto gate and also a pedestrian gate. DIRECTIONS If travelling from Temple Road, Blackrock, at the traffic light turn left onto Newtown Avenue. Stay on this road, going towards Blackrock Village. Passing St. John's Church on the left-hand side, turn right onto Idrone Terrace. The house is the first one on the terrace. If coming from the centre of Blackrock Village walk/drive towards the DART. Turn right onto Idrone Terrace. Number 1 is the last period house on the terrace.
