Description

Back in Victorian Dublin’s 1890’s, those fortunate few in high society had the luxury of choosing wherever they wished to build their own elegant home. Is it any wonder that most period homes occupy prime locations in select addresses. 4 St Lawrence Rd is no exception. A marvellous detached period home of immense character and charm occupying a breathtakingly unique elevated position, commanding panoramic views over Howth Harbour, Marina, Balscadden Bay and Howth Village. The views are so captivating and from such a height, the local Martello tower is below this splendid home. The interior layout is classic Victorian with four principle rooms on each floor off a tall reception hall and landing. Double bay windows, neat twin sashes, a natural slate roof, extra high ceilings, decorative plaster coving and beautiful fireplaces are just some of the endearing features of this incredible home. The generously proportioned rooms are on a scale that few modern homes can equal while the quality of the original joinery around doors and window surround details along with decorative plaster coving are just some of the features that stimulate the senses and make every viewer feel instantly at home. Effortlessly comfortable and filled with natural sunlight, while inside it’s remarkable to realise this is a village home, within a few short steps of every shop, café & restaurant that this gem of a village has to offer. This is the ultimate in convenience living, with spectacular views in a stunning location. The driveway leads to a cobble locked parking area with ample room for several vehicles. Outside there are sheltered patio spaces for different times of day and a sunny south west facing raised deck area for barbeques and relaxing while taking in those magical views. Inside a long wide reception hall features tall ceilings, decorative plaster coving and varnished floor boards. There is a bathroom at the end of the hall with a claw bath, old world wc and whb. The drawing room is a magnificent space with a large bay window, twin sashes and a suitably elegant stone fireplace. The family room is an equally impressive space with its own cast iron fireplace and a large bay window facing west, while the kitchen and dining space is open plan with an intimate dining area, cleverly placed to make most use of the spectacular views from here. The Kitchen has plenty of fitted units, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar/ island . Off this space is a good sized utility room with access to a side yard , a storage room and a plant room. There is a rear staircase here leading to the original maids room, currently used as a home office or study. This room has two storage areas which would easily accommodate an ensuite and walk-in closet for what could be a fifth bedroom. Off the landing upstairs are a four bedrooms. One of these rooms has extensive built in wardrobes and currently serves the master bedroom suite as a dressing room. The master bedroom ensuite is almost as impressive in size as the dressing room with a double size shower, wc and whb. The main bedroom chamber here is just a fabulous room with incredible views through the triple bay window and the twin sash windows. The other bedrooms on this floor are all large double rooms with high ceilings, both of which are well served by the shower room at the stairs return. Almost every room has views of the sea and whilst day light views are spectacular, night time views are equally so. This is a truly unique home and needs to be viewed to fully appreciate the special opportunity here.
