11 Royal Terrace East, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, A96V446

Peering out over the picturesque four-acre park is this impressive mid-terraced Victorian home. Built circa 1860, No. 11 is truly a home of distinction having been renovated to an impeccable standard by the current owner. While the property is BER-exempt, the heavy lifting has been done for the prospective purchaser as the property underwent a comprehensive renovation program approximately 15 years ago to include a new roof and rewiring. Boasting 303 sq m of elegantly proportioned living accommodation with period features such as tall ceilings, ornate cornicing, sash windows with working shutters and stunning fireplaces in abundance throughout, it seamlessly blends old world elegance with modern conveniences to create this exceptional home. A flight of granite steps ascends to the front door with a fanlight and side lights allowing natural light to bathe the entrance hall. The magnificent formal reception rooms with matching French, white Carrara marble fireplaces on the hall floor are ideal for entertaining on a grand scale. On the return we arrive at the sumptuous bathroom with cast iron slipper bath, double shower and twin marble sinks.
