Description
A Distinguished Victorian Residence Overlooking Crosthwaite Park.
Set along one of Dun Laoghaire's most prestigious and architecturally distinguished terraces, Attishan represents a rare opportunity to acquire an imposing two-storey over garden level Victorian residence of exceptional character and scale. Wonderfully positioned overlooking the leafy and highly regarded Crosthwaite Park, this elegant bay-windowed home combines gracious proportions, magnificent period detail and versatile accommodation extending to approximately 325 sq.m. (3,500 sq.ft.).
Behind its handsome façade lies a home of immense charm and heritage, retaining nearly every notable embellishment of the Victorian era while offering the discerning purchaser the opportunity to sympathetically modernise and personalise a truly special property.
Bright, airy and beautifully proportioned throughout, the accommodation extends across three impressive levels and offers exceptional flexibility for contemporary family living. The property may be enjoyed as one substantial private residence or alternatively configured to incorporate a self-contained garden level apartment with independent access — ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or home and income potential.
The garden level, accessible both independently and via an internal rear stairwell, currently comprises three bedrooms, a bathroom, entrance hall and rear utility area, offering excellent scope for conversion into a fully self-contained apartment.
At hall level, a gracious reception hall opens into two magnificent interconnecting reception rooms. To the front, the elegant drawing room features a striking bay window overlooking Crosthwaite Park, while the formal dining room to the rear enjoys ornate ceiling coving and beautiful original marble fireplaces — both retaining the timeless grandeur synonymous with the Victorian era.
The hall return accommodates guest facilities together with a kitchen/breakfast room overlooking the rear garden.
On the first return, a generously proportioned room currently serves as a home office alongside a well-appointed family bathroom.
The first floor hosts a spacious bedroom with extensive wardrobe provision and sea views to the rear. Completing this level is a truly exceptional reception room or principal bedroom spanning the full width of the property, boasting soaring ceilings, a fine marble fireplace and a magnificent bay window framing leafy views across Crosthwaite Park.
At second return level, a further bedroom and shower room benefit from dual aspect windows and particularly impressive sea views.
The gardens to both the front and rear are maturely planted and thoughtfully designed for ease of maintenance, creating private and tranquil outdoor spaces. Pedestrian access to the rear lane further enhances practicality and convenience.
Attishan has been lovingly maintained throughout its ownership and retains an extraordinary collection of original period features and architectural detailing. While presented in excellent condition, the property now offers the incoming purchaser an exciting opportunity to upgrade and modernise according to individual taste and design aspirations, subject to the necessary planning permissions appropriate to its status as a Protected Structure.
The location is unquestionably one of South County Dublin's most desirable residential settings. Overlooking the attractive park to the front, the property enjoys immediate access to a wealth of amenities including the renowned People's Park, Dun Laoghaire seafront and the vibrant Main Street with its excellent selection of boutique shops, cafés, restaurants, shopping centres, the Pavilion Theatre and IMC Cinema.
The area is exceptionally well served by some of Dublin's finest primary and secondary schools, while transport links are superb with regular bus services and nearby DART stations at both Sandycove/Glasthule and Dun Laoghaire.
For sporting and leisure enthusiasts, the surrounding area offers an outstanding choice of tennis, rugby, hockey, GAA and football clubs, together with the four yacht clubs and extensive marina facilities of Dun Laoghaire Harbour.
Properties of such architectural significance, scale and provenance rarely come to the market in this distinguished enclave of Dun Laoghaire. Attishan offers a unique combination of timeless Victorian elegance, exceptional versatility and an unrivalled coastal location — presenting a truly special opportunity to create a magnificent family home for generations to come.
