Audrey Power with Keller Williams Ireland is delighted to bring this very special property to the market. No 9 Alexandra Terrace is a wonderful period property which has retained many of its original features and is steeped in history. Built as holiday homes for Dublin's gentry, within strolling distance of the seafront, Bray's Victorian townhouses have grace and style aplenty. Just minutes from the Co Wicklow town's centre they are also very close to its Dart connection to the city centre, and what is one of the most scenic commutes in the country. Built in 1865, 9 Alexandra Terrace, is one of a terrace of five on Novara Avenue. It is a fine example with period features including fireplaces, decorative coving and ceiling roses, and large timber sash windows, some of which still retain their original shutters & plantation shutters.
