1 Marine Terrace
Dun Laoghaire
Co Dublin
A96 KD86

1 Marine Terrace is an exceptionally attractive period residence, occupying a prominent position at the end of a distinguished terrace of homes enjoying truly breathtaking panoramic views across Dublin Bay to Howth Head. Previously used in part as offices, No. 1 benefits from full planning permission for change of use back to residential accommodation, offering enormous flexibility for an incoming purchaser. Rich in character and original charm, this impressive property has been meticulously maintained over the years and with some reconfiguration, can be transformed into a magnificent family residence of considerable distinction.

Occupying a valuable corner site, the property enjoys additional windows along the gable elevation, allowing natural light to flood the interior throughout the day and enhancing the sense of space across all levels.

Extending to approximately 255 sq m / 2,745 sq ft and arranged over four floors, the accommodation offers exceptional versatility. The garden level incorporates a self-contained apartment, providing the potential for independent guest accommodation, au pair quarters, or valuable income-generating opportunities. As such, No. 1 Marine Terrace will appeal equally to those seeking a substantial private residence or a home that combines elegant living with flexible ancillary accommodation.

A flight of granite steps ascends to the front door and upon entering, the welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the tone for the elegant accommodation that lies ahead, with its striking monochrome tiled floor. At this level, there are two generous reception rooms which could be reconfigured to create an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the magnificent sea views. A guest WC completes the accommodation on this floor.

The first floor is home to a magnificent dual-aspect drawing room, where two large picture windows frame breathtaking panoramic views across Dublin Bay, while a third window enjoys a different perspective, taking in both the sea and the iconic West Pier. Also on this floor is the first of the bedrooms, a spacious double room.

The second floor comprises two further double bedrooms, a kitchen and a shower room.
At garden level, there is a self-contained two-bedroom apartment, offering excellent flexibility. This could easily be reincorporated into the main residence should additional family accommodation be required, while also presenting an attractive income-generating opportunity if retained as an independent unit.
Wrought iron railings and a pedestrian gate open onto the low-maintenance front garden, enhancing the property's kerb appeal and creating a welcoming approach. Occupying a prominent corner site, the property benefits from a generous side garden extending around to the rear with a wonderful South-West orientation, ideal to enjoy the afternoon and evening sunshine. This area is currently configured to provide three off-street parking spaces and is further enhanced by planning permission to reinstate a garden while retaining a private car parking space.

Situated in one of the area's most sought-after coastal settings, just a short stroll from the vibrant village of Glasthule, renowned for its boutique shops, cafés, and acclaimed restaurants and Dun Laoghaire where an extensive range of retail, leisure, and everyday amenities are on hand. The area is particularly well served by an outstanding selection of sporting and recreational facilities, including sailing, golf, tennis, and numerous scenic coastal and hill walks. Maritime enthusiasts will appreciate the four yacht clubs and extensive marina at Dun Laoghaire Harbour, while the recently restored Dun Laoghaire Baths provide a superb year-round swimming and leisure amenity within a stone’s throw. There are several highly regarded schools within close proximity, including Rathdown, CBC Monkstown, Blackrock College, St. Joseph of Cluny and Loreto Dalkey. Excellent transport links are readily available, with the DART, Dublin Bus and the Aircoach providing convenient access to Dublin City Centre and Dublin Airport.
