Description
A Distinguished Victorian Investment Residence in a Prime Coastal Setting.
Ballygar House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and elegant Victorian period residence of significant scale and character, superbly positioned in one of South Dublin's most desirable coastal enclaves.
Extending to approximately 389 sq.m. (4,187 sq.ft.), this impressive mid-terrace property is arranged over three storeys above a lower garden level and is currently configured into eight self-contained residential units, comprising six one-bedroom, one two-bedroom, and one three-bedroom apartment. The property offers both immediate income potential and long-term asset value in a location of enduring demand.
Elevated above the vibrant heart of Dún Laoghaire, Ballygar House enjoys a commanding position with exceptional panoramic views from the upper floors, sweeping across the town's historic rooftops and out over Dublin Bay toward the picturesque peninsula of Howth.
The property is approached via a railed front garden, with a pathway leading to the original granite steps and a separate access point to the lower ground floor unit. To the rear, a private south-facing garden extends to approximately 11 metres (36 feet), offering a low-maintenance outdoor space that benefits from optimal sunlight throughout the day.
The location of Ballygar House is truly second to none. Positioned just minutes from the seafront, the property is within easy walking distance of Dún Laoghaire town centre, as well as the charming neighbouring villages of Glasthule and Sandycove. Residents can enjoy an exceptional coastal lifestyle with access to the popular seafront promenade and harbour, the renowned People's Park, year-round swimming at the Forty Foot, a wide selection of cafés, restaurants, and boutiques, yacht clubs and extensive marine leisure activities.
The area is also exceptionally well served by a range of highly regarded primary and secondary schools, making it attractive for a broad tenant demographic.
Ballygar House benefits from outstanding transport links, ensuring seamless access to Dublin city centre and beyond. The nearby DART station at Glasthule/Sandycove provides a frequent coastal rail service, while numerous bus routes (including the 7, 7A, 7E, 45A and 45B) operate within close proximity. Additionally, the Aircoach offers a regular and convenient express service to Dublin Airport.
Ballygar House combines period charm, scale, and investment potential in a premier coastal setting. With its multi-unit configuration, strong rental appeal, and unrivalled location, it represents a compelling opportunity for investors seeking a landmark property in one of Dublin's most sought-after residential areas.
