Description
No. 754 Howth Road is a truly individual detached residence extending to approximately 292 sq.m. (3,143 sq.ft.) over three floors (including basement). Originally constructed in the 1940s, this substantial home offers a rare combination of scale, architectural character, and an exceptional coastal address. Properties of this style and footprint are seldom found in Dublin. Its proportions, elevated terraces, and flexible layout create a home that stands apart — unconventional, distinctive, and full of potential. This is not a “one size fits all” property. Rather, it is a home for a buyer with vision — someone who values individuality, sees the opportunity to shape a truly special family residence and who sees its unique period features.
The accommodation is laid out across three levels, providing excellent flexibility for modern family living; five generous bedroom, multiple reception areas, three-storey layout offering separation and adaptability, two large and unique outdoor terraces and a spacious rear garden with incredible potential for creating a secluded ambience.
The elevated terraces are particularly special with unique period charm difficult to find elsewhere — ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the coastal air. Few homes in this location offer such dynamic outdoor space. The combination of terraces and garden creates different zones for relaxation and entertaining, with excellent scope for landscaping or further enhancement.
Located on the prestigious Howth Road, the property sits just moments from Raheny and the stunning Dublin coastline. From your doorstep, you can enjoy; Miles of uninterrupted running and cycling tracks, the biodiverse nature reserve at Bull Island and coastal runs stretching from St Anne's Park to Howth Peninsula. The convenience is exceptional, combining seaside living with easy access to Raheny Village, primary and secondary schools, transport links, and Dublin City Centre.
No. 754 Howth Road is a home with character, individuality and an interesting history. It will not appeal universally — and that is precisely its strength. For a discerning buyer with imagination and appreciation for such architectural gems albeit slightly obscured by some 1980s additions this property offers, significant space, unique terraces and gardens, a prestigious address, a coastal location and the chance to create a forever family home tailored to your own style.
There are clearly some compromises with the property. The neighbouring apartments to the south overlook part of the site. However, for the right buyer, the overall scale, detached status, terraces and gardens, and premier location more than compensate particularly given how rarely a home of this nature becomes available along the Howth Road. Furthermore with some time and patience these drawbacks can be more than negated by appropriate landscaping and tree planting.
