A Rare Opportunity in the Heart of Dun Laoghaire.
Welcome to a truly unique home, originally built in 1905 as a shop with living quarters above. In 2018, the current owners, in collaboration with the award-winning architectural firm A2, thoughtfully redesigned and rebuilt the property, transforming it into a stylish and practical modern residence. A striking two-storey rear extension was added, introducing light-filled spaces, private gardens, and off-street parking—blending heritage charm with contemporary living.
Nestled in the vibrant centre of Dun Laoghaire and only moments from the chic cafes, restaurants, and superb cultural amenities to include the DLR Lexicon Library, The Pavilion Theatre and the National Maritime Museum. This rare find effortlessly blends urban convenience with character-filled design. Every detail of this home reflects a creative vision brought to life with the finest craftsmanship.
Inside, the home features an exceptional layout that balances modern function with artistic flair. A custom-designed bespoke kitchen in birch plywood sets the tone of this exquisite home. The flooring is a polished concrete throughout the downstairs with underfloor heating and the original floorboards on the first floor. The stairs and exposed original red brick walls making the entrance warm and inviting. Off the dining area is an inner hall leading to a sleek guest shower room and a stylish second bedroom. The second bedroom has a floor to ceiling window overlooking an inner courtyard with feature pond. The courtyard leading to a large garage that offers vehicular access to the rear. The upstairs combines a wonderful family living area and a large balcony which is ideal for entertaining, the principal bedroom with high ceilings, original floorboards, red bricks exposed, and two fireplaces adds depth and texture to this stunning bedroom. There is also a contemporary, stylish ensuite shower room. Skylights and triple-glazed feature windows flood the space with natural light, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
The location is second to none being situated in this highly convenient and most sought after of positions, between York Road and Longford Place. The West pier, Dun Laoghaire town centre and the wonderful village of Monkstown are all a shortly walk away. There is every amenity on your doorstep including cafe's, shops, restaurants, famous pubs, schools and churches of all denominations to name but a few. Transport is also well catered for with the DART & QBC within five-minute walking. Leisure facilities are superb with sailing, golf, tennis, rugby, football, swimming clubs in the local area. The coast offers beautiful walks.
