2 Northumberland Avenue, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, A96K2C6

A rare and distinguished offering in the heart of one of South Dublin’s most coveted coastal enclaves. Positioned on prestigious Northumberland Avenue, just moments from the vibrant centre of Dún Laoghaire, No. 2 is a magnificent Victorian bay-windowed mid-terrace residence extending to approximately 232.2 sq.m (2,500 sq.ft). Elegantly arranged over two storeys above garden level, this refined period home seamlessly blends architectural grandeur with contemporary comfort, further enhanced by the exceptional addition of a private, self-contained mews of approximately 62 sq.m (667 sq.ft) and secure off-street parking. The mews offers extremely versatile accommodation as a home and income, deal to house a lative and would make a wonderful safe haven for teenagers. Behind its handsome façade lies a residence of rare character and scale. Beautifully refurbished and meticulously maintained since 2019, the interiors honour the home’s Victorian heritage while embracing modern family living. Original features—including ornate fireplaces, detailed cornicing, high ceilings, and gracious proportions—have been carefully preserved, creating reception rooms of warmth and sophistication. Light-filled and impeccably presented, the accommodation unfolds with an effortless sense of flow across three generous levels. At garden level, a spacious contemporary kitchen forms the heart of the home, appointed with bespoke cabinetry and premium appliances. Adjacent, a welcoming family room provides the perfect setting for relaxed gatherings, while a separate utility room and plant room ensure practical efficiency without compromise. Upstairs, four substantial double bedrooms offer refined and restful accommodation, complemented by well-appointed bathrooms and elegant detailing throughout. A truly exceptional feature of No. 2 is the purpose-built, two-storey mews residence positioned at the end of the rear courtyard garden and accessed via a private laneway. While requiring some attention, this structure represents an outstanding opportunity to create a stylish home office, guest quarters, independent family accommodation, or income-generating rental unit. Such flexibility is seldom found in period homes of this calibre and location. To the rear, a low-maintenance courtyard garden provides a private and secure outdoor retreat. Designed for ease of upkeep, it offers the rare advantage of off-street parking with gated rear access—an invaluable amenity in this prime coastal setting. Northumberland Avenue is widely regarded as one of Dún Laoghaire’s most desirable residential addresses. Quiet and refined, yet just a short stroll from the town’s bustling Main Street, the property enjoys immediate access to an exceptional array of amenities.

A multi-screen cinema and a thriving weekly farmers’ market further enrich the vibrant local atmosphere.

Commuters are exceptionally well served by frequent Dublin Bus routes and the DART station, providing swift connectivity to the city centre and beyond. Moments from the seafront, the pier and coastal walks offer an enviable lifestyle balance of maritime beauty and metropolitan accessibility. 2 Northumberland Avenue represents a truly unique opportunity to acquire a substantial and versatile period residence in the very heart of Dún Laoghaire.
