Featuring magnificent sea views over Dublin Bay towards Howth and Dalkey Hill, Gort Na Mona boasts tremendous charm and character. Built in 1903 the house benefits from a unique elevated site of approximately 0.41 acres of prime land. Home to the same family since the 1980's, the residence currently comprises 3 reception rooms, 6 bedrooms & 4 bathrooms. In addition, there is a basement room which would make an ideal home office and is currently used for storage. There is an attractive front garden boasting a myriad of attractive plants, bushes and mature trees. Planning permission was granted in December 2024 to open up a driveway to the front - Reference D24A/0728.
The forecourt provides ample parking for 6 cars. A side gate leads to the magnificent rear garden, showing the rooftops of Silchester Park and impressive views of the sea. Although in need up updating throughout, the property offers tremendous potential to be transformed into a beautiful modern family home in this established neighbourhood within easy reach of all the amenities of Glasthule, Sandycove and Dalkey villages. Alternatively, the magnificent house & gardens offer tremendous scope for a Developer to construct a small scheme subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission. The location of this home makes it the perfect place for those looking to establish themselves on one of Dublin's most desirable and sought-after addresses.
It offers easy access to DART and bus services. This well established area boasts a wealth of amenities including top class restaurants, bistros, pubs, shops and boutiques. Also within walking distance are the famous Forty Foot bathing areas at Sandycove, Dalkey/Killiney Hill, tennis, golf, football and GAA clubs. Some of Dublin's most renowned primary and secondary schools are all within easy reach. Dun Laoghaire is nearby with its ever-walkable piers, the People's Park (which hosts a farmer's market every Sunday) and numerous shops and restaurants in the town.
The recently constructed cycle track connects Sandycove with Blackrock. The four yacht clubs and extensive marina at Dun Laoghaire Harbour will be of major interest to the marine and sailing enthusiasts. The convenience and desirability of this house and its location cannot be overstated. It must be viewed to really appreciate its quality, elevation and wonderful position. Accommodation
