Yarra Yarra, Beach Road, Greystones, Co. Wicklow, A63X954

Yarra Yarra is a handsome detached coastal property with sea and harbour views, built in the 1890s by the La Touche family and is said to be one of three houses on Beach Road that have survived as a physical reminder of the late Victorian Greystones era. A particularly charming feature of Yarra Yarra is its enclosed entrance porch with its pitched tiled roof, delicate glazed panels and beautifully detailed timber fretwork complimenting the projecting Bay windows. Occupying three floors the property retains many of its original architectural features including high ceilings, ornate ceiling coving, original staircase and marble fireplaces whilst more recent improvements include the installation of double glazed sash windows, sympathetic to the character of the house, new radiators and a heat pump system. There is a grade C energy rating attached to the property. The principal rooms are generously proportioned and retain a real sense of grandeur, a reflection of its historical back story with the more recent chapter as the base of the award winning telecommunications company Goldfish. With some simple reconfiguration its next chapter is more likely to become a family home in its entirety (subject to final approval by the WCC). The existing accommodation provides the perfect framework for residential reinstatement as there are well proportioned reception rooms, a kitchen cum breakfast area, modern family shower room. At upper level, one of the property’s most impressive spaces stretches the entire width of the house. Currently arranged as an open plan room, it captures spectacular views out towards the sea and harbour and could become an extraordinary principal bedroom suite, or open plan living space. The front driveway is super wide providing parking for several cars as well as additional parking spots for a boat, trailer, or even a camper van. Not many properties within the Marina can offer up this space. To the rear there is an enclosed courtyard garden and a Mediterranean style roof top terrace. Just a five minute walk to Greystones main street the property is close to the towns train station, bus links, cafes, restaurants, speciality stores, pubs and boutiques as well as supermarkets and convenience stores. Beach, seafront and coastal walks are all within easy reach. It is a location that offers best of both worlds, the atmosphere and vibrancy of being part of a marina development together with the sense of privacy and individuality. All in all Yara Yarra is a property with an historical background in a remarkable location representing both town and coastal living at its best.
