Description
This is a beautifully reimagined residence where timeless character meets contemporary design, complete with an exceptional extended living space, private rear garden along with off-street parking for two cars. It is a truly impressive, beautifully appointed two-bedroom home that boasts all the comforts and conveniences of modern living. Originally forming part of one substantial residence alongside its neighbouring property, the building has been thoughtfully transformed into two individual homes, each with its own distinct appeal. No. 56A enjoys the particular advantage of a more extensive rear extension, creating wonderfully generous living accommodation, together with the rare benefit of private off-street parking for two cars to the rear.
Behind its attractive façade lies an interior that has been finished with exceptional attention to detail. Beautifully considered cabinetry, a soft neutral colour palette, stylish finishes and an abundance of natural light combine to create a home that is as practical as it is aesthetically pleasing. The overall impression is that of a brand-new home within a charming envelope.
Upon entering, a welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the accommodation beyond. Attractive, neutral-toned laminate flooring flows seamlessly throughout the ground floor, creating a wonderful sense of continuity. To the front of the house is an elegant reception room, a lovely retreat away from the kitchen/living/dining area. A beautifully designed, bespoke media unit, framed by attractive display cabinetry, provides a striking focal point and makes this an inviting space in which to relax and unwind. There is useful understairs storage off the hallway.
The real heart of this exceptional home is the magnificent, extended open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. Bright, spacious and beautifully designed, this is an area perfectly suited to both everyday family life and entertaining. The kitchen has been thoughtfully planned, with extensive contemporary cabinetry providing excellent storage while maintaining a sleek and streamlined appearance. Particularly appealing are the dedicated drinks cabinet and cleverly incorporated coffee and breakfast station, thoughtful touches that elevate both the functionality and finish of the space. An island unit with breakfast counter and separate utility room and guest WC provide further practicality. Beyond the kitchen, the accommodation opens into a wonderfully proportioned dining area, with ample room for gathering family and friends, while a further living area offers a comfortable and stylish place to relax. Here, another beautifully executed bespoke media unit, complete with integrated television space and surrounding display cabinetry, creates an attractive focal point. One of the most impressive features of this entire space is the exceptional natural light. A long rooflight draws daylight deep into the extension, while an expansive sliding glazed door creates a wonderful connection between the interior and the rear garden. The result is a bright, uplifting living environment with an effortless flow between indoors and out.
The rear garden has been designed with ease of maintenance and outdoor enjoyment in mind. A generous paved terrace immediately adjoining the house provides an ideal setting for alfresco dining, summer barbecues and entertaining. Steps lead to an elevated lawn area finished in low-maintenance artificial grass, ensuring the garden remains attractive throughout the year with minimal upkeep. A rear gate provides direct access to the property's private off-street parking area, with space for two cars a particularly valuable amenity in such a convenient town-centre location.
Upstairs, the same sense of quality and thoughtful design continues. There are two generously proportioned double bedrooms, including a lovely principal bedroom with its own en suite shower room. A beautifully finished family bathroom serves the second bedroom and features attractive decorative wall panelling, adding a touch of understated elegance.
The appeal of No. 56A extends well beyond its beautifully finished interiors. Patrick Street enjoys a wonderfully convenient position, slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of central Dún Laoghaire yet within a short stroll of everything this vibrant coastal town has to offer. Dún Laoghaire is renowned for its superb selection of cafés, restaurants, boutiques and shops, together with its picturesque harbour, piers and wonderful coastal walks. The nearby villages of Monkstown and Glasthule offer further excellent dining, shopping and recreational amenities, while the area's transport links make commuting to the city centre and beyond particularly convenient.
With its impressive extended accommodation, beautifully considered interiors, easy-to-maintain garden and invaluable private parking for two cars, this is a particularly appealing opportunity in one of South Dublin's most desirable coastal settings. Accommodation
