Description
A beautifully designed Victorian residence with private gated parking and a sun-filled garden in the heart of Monkstown. Behind secure electronic gates on one of Monkstown's most established residential addresses lies No. 7 Monkstown Road, an elegant Victorian residence dating from the late nineteenth century. Approached via a generous private resin driveway providing excellent off-street parking for multiple cars, this beautifully refurbished dual-aspect home has been professionally interior designed to an exacting standard. Throughout the house, original period character is thoughtfully balanced with refined contemporary finishes, creating interiors of warmth and quiet sophistication. To the rear, a delightful south-facing garden, fully decked and enclosed by an attractive granite wall, provides a wonderfully private and sun-filled outdoor retreat - an ideal setting for morning coffee after a swim at nearby Seapoint or relaxed summer evenings outdoors. There is a plumbed shed with excellent storage here.
Internally, the accommodation extends to approximately 110 sq. m (1,184 sq.ft) and is arranged over two carefully considered levels. The entrance level is particularly striking, benefiting from impressive ceiling heights and large windows that allow natural light to pour into the principal reception room, creating a wonderfully bright and uplifting living space. The property's dual-aspect orientation further enhances this sense of light and balance throughout. A number of original period features remain intact, lending charm and authenticity to the interiors. At the heart of the home lies a beautifully crafted Chalon kitchen, renowned for its timeless craftsmanship and enduring quality. The bedroom accommodation is equally well proportioned, including a generous principal bedroom suite together with additional bedrooms and stylish contemporary bathroom accommodation. The interiors have been professionally designed throughout, and the property comes with the option to purchase much of the carefully selected furniture included, presenting an exceptional turnkey opportunity.
Life in Monkstown offers a rare balance of coastal living and village charm. From No. 7, a short stroll leads to the vibrant heart of Monkstown Village with its renowned cafés, restaurants and independent shops, while the nearby seafront at Seapoint provides a favourite destination for sea swims and scenic coastal walks along Dublin Bay. The neighbouring centre of Blackrock Village is also within easy reach, offering further boutique shopping, dining and amenities. Excellent transport connections include the DART at Seapoint together with numerous bus routes providing swift access to Dublin city centre, while a number of highly regarded schools are located nearby. Altogether, this is a setting that offers an exceptional lifestyle in one of South Dublin's most sought-after coastal communities. Accommodation
