Description
If walls could talk, this beautiful period home on La Touche Road would have quite a story to tell!
Dating back to 1900 and owned by the same family since 1970, Teevinore is a fine example of the late Victorian era of architecture. While Teevinore may be showing her age internally, there is no doubt that the bones are very, very good.
This substantial six-bedroom semi-detached house occupies one of the most enviable positions in Greystones. La Touche Road is named after the La Touche family who originally owned and influenced a lot of the development of land across Greystones. It is merely seconds' stroll from the beach, the town centre and Greystones DART station. In other words, throw on your Dryrobe (a pre-requisite for Greystones living), leave the car at home, grab your coffee, walk to the beach, have a swim. Leave Dryrobe at home, then catch the train or wander into town for dinner. It really doesn't get much more convenient than this.
Teevinore requires complete renovation, but for those prepared to roll up their sleeves, there is an exciting opportunity here to restore and transform a substantial period property while retaining the wonderful character that simply cannot be recreated in a modern home. Step inside and you'll find many of the original features still proudly in place beautiful fireplaces, ornate cornicing, high ceilings, original doors and sash windows all offering glimpses of the house's former grandeur.
And then there is the view. Head upstairs and the top-floor bedrooms enjoy stunning sea views, a particularly special feature given the home's central coastal location. What will come as a surprise also is the outdoor terrace to the rear that is accessed from the first floor. A perfect spot to relax throughout the day and in the morning time offers the most incredible sunrise views.
The beach is at the end of the road, and in the other direction is St Brigids National School and St Davids Secondary School. Greystones town centre, with its cafés, restaurants, shops and everyday amenities, is within an easy stroll, while the DART station is also just seconds away. Many sports clubs, playground and marina are all closeby.
For the right buyer, this is an opportunity to take a large period house in an exceptionally sought-after location and create something truly special. The generous accommodation, six bedrooms, impressive ceiling heights, original architectural details and sea views provide an enviable starting point.
Yes, the house needs work, but the location doesn't. That is the attraction of Teevinore. For the buyer who can see beyond the project … this could be the one.
Teevinore is approached through wrought iron gates via an original terracotta tiled pathway. A lawn area on both sides softens the space and provides the perfect spot for shrubs and colourful planting. This home also boasts off street parking to the side for up to 4 cars, a benefit that a lot of town centre homes in the area are lacking. There is also vehicular side access through to the rear. A rear pedestrian right of way provides quick and easy access from the gardens of Teevinore out onto Kimberley Road. The rear gardens of Teevinore are mature and provide scope for further extension (subject to planning) if so desired. Accommodation
