Nestled in a prime position on Military Road, just steps from Killiney Beach and the DART station, Eversley is a striking red-brick, double-fronted Victorian villa that blends historical charm with modern family living. Located directly opposite Holy Child School, this elegant home offers an unbeatable combination of convenience, character, and coastal living. Built in 1860 as one of a terrace of three homes for members of the same family, Eversley boasts a rich history with only a handful of owners since. Its most notable resident was George Duggan, Comptroller-General of the Civil Service in Northern Ireland during Lord Craigavon’s era. Duggan famously recalled a conversation in which Lord Craigavon predicted that “the North and South would inevitably be united, but not in our time.” This candid reflection led to Duggan’s return to Eversley—adding a fascinating chapter to the home’s story. The current owners themselves have been custodians for the past 40 years. The property exudes period grandeur from the granite steps and double entrance doors to the front not to mention the generously proportioned rooms with soaring 4.2m ceilings on the first floor, intricate cornicing, and ornate fireplaces. The interconnecting drawing and dining rooms are ideal for entertaining, enjoying a sun-soaked southerly orientation and sea views. Accommodation includes four bedrooms and a study - two substantial doubles at hall level and two further bedrooms on the garden level—alongside three well-appointed bathrooms. The lower level hosts a bright and welcoming family room, including a charming galley kitchen connected to a large family dining room with AGA, as well as a boot room and butler’s pantry. Set well back from the road behind secure gates, the front garden enjoys a sunny southerly aspect with a sun terrace, lawn, potting shed, and a single-car garage. The rear garden is an enchanting split-level retreat featuring a wraparound courtyard and an upper level bursting with mature shrubs, fruit trees, and timeless character. The location is second to none—Killiney DART station is a short stroll away, while the Luas at Cherrywood, the M50, and N11 provide quick access to the airport and beyond. With excellent schools, Killiney Shopping Centre, and the vibrant villages of Dalkey and Dun Laoghaire all nearby, everything your family needs is within easy reach. For the outdoor enthusiast, Killiney Beach is perfect for sea swims or scenic walks, while Killiney Hill Park offers a network of trails with breathtaking views. Dun Laoghaire’s four sailing clubs are also just a short drive away. Eversley is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in one of South Dublin’s most sought-after coastal location.
