1 Eaton Place, Monkstown, Co. Dublin, A94D893

1 Eaton Place is a magnificent end-of-terrace period residence occupying a prominent position at the junction of Eaton Place and Belgrave Road. An exceptionally handsome red-brick home, it is approached by an impressive flight of granite steps and offers beautifully presented accommodation of remarkable scale and character. The house combines the elegance, proportion and craftsmanship of a classic period home with the comfort, refinement and functionality required for modern family living. Its elevated position affords wonderful views across Dublin Bay, while thoughtful upgrades, including replacement double-glazed windows, further enhance the comfort of this impressive family home. The extensive accommodation extends to approximately 312.5 sq. m (3,364 sq. ft), arranged over three storeys together with a substantial basement level. A gracious reception hall sets the tone for the accommodation, with beautiful timber flooring, extensive wall panelling, intricate cornice work and generous ceiling heights immediately conveying the sense of scale and quality found throughout the house. To the front, the magnificent drawing room is flooded with natural light from a large bay window and features beautiful herringbone oak flooring, extensive panelling and an elegant marble fireplace with wood-burning stove. The adjoining living room continues the same exceptional standard of finish and is accessed via folding double doors, creating a superb sequence of interconnecting reception spaces that work equally well for everyday family life and larger-scale entertaining. To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room introduces a more contemporary feel while sitting comfortably alongside the traditional character of the house. Beautifully appointed with hand-painted cabinetry, quartz worktops and a generous dining area with built-in seating, it is a bright and inviting space at the heart of the home. Floor-to-ceiling glazing opens directly onto the south-facing garden, creating a wonderful connection between the kitchen and garden and drawing an abundance of natural light into the room. The upper floors continue the sense of space and elegance, with generous bedroom accommodation complemented by beautifully finished bathrooms and excellent storage. The principal bedroom is undoubtedly one of the outstanding features of the house. Exceptionally spacious and beautifully proportioned, two magnificent sliding sash windows take full advantage of the property's elevated position and frame spectacular views towards Dublin Bay. Extensive fitted cabinetry provides excellent storage, while decorative cornicing and a centre rose retain the character found throughout the house. Of particular note is the substantial basement level, which greatly enhances the versatility of 1 Eaton Place. With its own independent entrance, this level provides extensive additional accommodation comprising two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a utility room, spacious living area and a fully fitted kitchen. Finished and presented to the same high standard as the remainder of the house, it offers tremendous flexibility. A private courtyard provides further outdoor amenity and brings additional natural light to this level. The garden is another significant feature of the property. Enjoying a desirable southerly orientation, it is wonderfully private and has been attractively landscaped to provide a series of areas for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation. Granite paving and mature planting sit beautifully against the original stone boundary walls, while a detached Shomera positioned at the end of the garden provides an excellent home office, gym or studio. Pedestrian rear access adds further convenience. 1 Eaton Place is a truly exceptional period home, combining magnificent reception rooms, superb Dublin Bay views, substantial basement accommodation and a private south-facing garden to create a family home of considerable distinction in this highly regarded setting. Adding to its rich heritage, a Dublin Tourism plaque commemorates the property as the final residence of Sir William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse, the distinguished astronomer celebrated for the Great Telescope at Birr. The location is second to none, with the bustling village of Monkstown only a few minutes’ walk away, offering an excellent selection of boutique shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants, while the neighbouring village of Blackrock provides a further extensive range of shopping and amenities. The area is particularly well served by a wide choice of highly regarded primary and secondary schools, together with numerous sporting and recreational facilities including tennis, rugby and hockey clubs. The seafront is within metres of the property, providing wonderful coastal walks and easy access to the coastal cycle route, while Seapoint is within walking distance for year-round sea swimming. Dun Laoghaire Harbour, with its four yacht clubs, marina and piers, is also close by and offers an outstanding range of marine and leisure activities. Transport links are excellent, with both Seapoint and Salthill/Monkstown DART stations only a short walk away, together with regular bus services providing convenient access to the city centre and surrounding areas. The combination of coastal living, excellent amenities and superb transport links makes this a particularly desirable and convenient setting for family life.
