Description
This elegant double-fronted, villa-style Victorian period residence is rich in character and offers superb accommodation, ideally positioned on the much sought-after Clarinda Park West, just off Corrig Road. Its prime location places it within a short stroll of Dun Laoghaire's vibrant Main Street, the scenic seafront, and several beautiful parks, making it a truly desirable address.
Behind the classic façade lies an inviting mid-terrace home, offering bright, generously proportioned interiors extending to approximately 222 sq.m (2,390 sq.ft). True to its period, the residence showcases impressive room dimensions, lofty ceilings, and abundant natural light. A sunny rear garden of approximately 9m (30ft) further enhances the appeal, with potential to extend, subject to the necessary planning permission.
Granite steps lead to the gracious wide entrance hall adorned with original stucco detailing and soaring ceilings. To the front, two imposing reception rooms feature large bay windows, with one currently serving as a bedroom. Beyond, another bedroom and a kitchen overlook the rear garden, creating a tranquil and private aspect. The kitchen/breakfast room is positioned to enjoy garden views, offering a peaceful and functional space for everyday living. A bathroom completes the living space at this floor. Further spacious accommodation is revealed at the lower level, including two additional bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, and bathroom.
Throughout the home, many of the original period features have been beautifully retained, including decorative ceiling roses, intricate coving, and handsome fireplaces. While extensive refurbishment and modernisation is required, the property presents an exciting opportunity for new owners to restore and personalise a truly special home in a distinguished setting.
The location of this home is second to none being situated only minutes' walk away from the seafront at Dun Laoghaire and all local amenities in Dun Laoghaire town centre and Glasthule and Sandycove village, including the People's Park.
