Description
A distinguished Victorian residence of character and timeless style, 7 Royal Terrace East is a beautifully restored family home that blends the grandeur of its 1863 origins with the sophistication of a comprehensive, design-led renovation. Arranged over two storeys above a garden level, this remarkable home extends to a generous 305sq.m. (3,284sq.ft.), offering an exceptional balance of period elegance and contemporary comfort.
Set on one of the finest positions along this coveted terrace, the house retains a wealth of original features including beautiful ornate cornice work, magnificent bay windows, authentic sash windows with shutters, soaring ceiling heights and exquisite marble fireplaces. These period details are complemented by an impressive array of modern upgrades, from a high-efficiency zoned gas heating system with dual boilers and comprehensive rewiring with carefully curated lighting to Cat 6 and Cat 5 cabling in every room. Floors have been finished with luxurious materials throughout, bedrooms enjoy stylish carpets and remote-control blinds, and the fully renovated garage which is currently in use as a gym is equipped with an EV charger, climate control, heating, internet, a monitored alarm system and a Bormann electric garage door, with parking for two cars.
An impressive entrance hall sets the tone, adorned with refined decorative cornicing and a centre rose. Here, the stunning open-plan kitchen and dining room has been thoughtfully relocated to elevate everyday living. The bespoke kitchen features a gas-fired Aga, integrated SMEG oven, microwave, warming drawer and induction hob, along with a beautiful island and breakfast bar that form the heart of this sophisticated space. The dining area is generous and inviting, framed by views over the square and anchored by an original fireplace, while bespoke cabinetry provides ample storage.
On the return level, three double bedrooms each enjoy their own private ensuites, creating an ideal layout for family or guests. The second floor is dominated by a breathtaking drawing room with a graceful bay window overlooking the leafy square and a striking original marble fireplace. A luxurious cinema room completes this level, offering a serene space for relaxation.
The garden level reveals a dramatic entrance hall lined with original cut-stone walls. A superb utility and second kitchen provide an invaluable space for family living and effortless al fresco entertaining, with direct access to the landscaped rear garden. This level also features the master suite, complete with a sumptuous en-suite bathroom, vanity area and private rear access. A second double bedroom to the front, currently arranged as a home office, completes this floor and benefits from an elegant en-suite shower room.
Royal Terrace East occupies an exclusive, peaceful and prestigious setting just off Tivoli Road. The location is both fashionable and exceptionally convenient, with Dun Laoghaire's vibrant town centre only a short stroll away, offering boutiques, restaurants, cafés, specialist food shops and a wealth of leisure amenities. The seafront, piers and Sandycove shore are similarly close at hand, while Dun Laoghaire and Sandycove/Glasthule DART stations provides swift access to the city. Neighbouring Glasthule and Monkstown offer further village charm, and the area is renowned for the quality of its schools, including CBC Monkstown, Blackrock College, St. Andrew's College, Cluny, Loreto Dalkey, Rathdown and Holy Child.
