30 Northumberland Avenue, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, A96TY20

Victorian two storey over basement period home built circa 1870 which has remained a single family home and never been sub-divided. Spacious property with broad granite steps leading through a hardwood door flanked by columns, with a fan light over, into a welcoming and generous entrance hall with enormous reception rooms either side. The beautifully proportioned rooms have high ceilings and retain some original features such as plasterwork, window shutters, broad pine floorboards and granite walls, window sills, lintels and steps. To ensure proper spacing of viewings, Casey-Kennedy Estate Agents request that viewers register in advance by email. We will contact you to schedule an exact viewing time within the advertised time range. Accommodation is spread over three floors. On the main floor is a fine entrance hall and two enormous reception rooms. The one on the right has been subdivided with a partition wall to make space for a family bathroom on the is level. The one on the left had a kitchen fitted when the family decided to live mainly on this floor and discontinued use of the original kitchen in the basement. On the basement level there is a central hall with doors under the granite steps, giving independent access to front and back. This too originally had two enormous rooms either side of the hall The one on the left was the kitchen/dining room with patio doors leading to the back garden. The one on the right has been partitioned into two large bedrooms. On the top floor there are five bedrooms, one in each of the four corners measuring over 150sq.ft each, and a smaller one in the middle of the facade. The front garden has pretty flowering cherry trees either side of the wrought iron gates leading to off-street parking for three cars. To the rear, the back garden is 12m long, ending at the wooden fence.The gardens have original granite walls on both sides. This property is a fine blank canvas waiting for a new owner to re-invigorate it and give it fresh life as a contemporary home. While this has always been a single family home, many similar properties have the basement converted to a self-contained living space ideal for a multi-generational family or for additional income and alternative living spaces in the various stages of life. It sits in an enviable location close to the sea, DunLaoghaire town centre and harbour. It is just a 10 minute walk from the East pier where you can get delicious fish and chips from the Fish Shack or listen to the performances in the bandstand during the summer months.. Other local attractions include the prow shaped library, the Maritime Museum, two yacht clubs and the Royal Marine Hotel. The popular 40ft swimming spot and Sandycove beach are less than 30 minutes walk down the promenade. For shopping you have a choice between DunLaoghaire Shooping Centre or the newer Bloomfields Shopping Centre with a great range of other smaller boutiques, specialist retailers, restaurants, pubs and coffee shops. The nearby DART line gives speedy access to Dublin City Docklands, City Centre and Howth to the north, or to the charming seaside villages of Dalkey, Killiney and Greystones to the south.
