Description
46 York Road is a most attractive detached red-bricked period residence dating from circa 1880, coming to the market for the first time since it was built by the current owner’s great-grandfather. Rich in history and character, this is a rare opportunity for an incoming purchaser to restore and enhance a home of genuine architectural significance.
Extending to approximately 212 sq m and arranged over two floors, the property offers spacious and well-balanced accommodation, adorned with a wealth of original period features including ceiling cornicing, paneled doors, sash windows with working shutters and fine marble fireplaces.
The front door, with fanlight overhead and side lights, opens into a wonderfully bright entrance hall. To the left lies the elegant living room, featuring a bay window and marble fireplace, while to the right are the interconnecting drawing and dining rooms. These graciously proportioned reception rooms enjoy a dual aspect overlooking both the front and rear gardens and are further enhanced by matching marble fireplaces.
To the rear of the house is the kitchen, fitted with wall and floor units and providing access to the side passage. A utility room and pantry are located just off the kitchen, while a guest WC/shower room completes the ground floor accommodation.
A fine mahogany staircase rises to the first-floor return, where the bathroom and separate WC are located. The galleried landing leads to five bedrooms, comprising four generous double rooms and a single bedroom.
Outside, the railed front garden is principally laid out in lawn. Planning permission for off-street parking was granted in 2016, although this has since lapsed. A side passage leads to the wonderfully private rear garden, framed by a granite cut-stone wall. Generous in size and mainly laid in lawn, with mature planted borders, it provides an ideal setting for children to play in and outdoor entertaining alike.
Conveniently located on York Road, which forms the boundary between Monkstown to the west and Dun Laoghaire to the east, the property enjoys easy access to the very best of both locations. Dun Laoghaire is a vibrant coastal town renowned for its magnificent pier, scenic coastal walks, yacht clubs and marina, together with an excellent range of social and essential amenities. These include extensive shopping facilities, cafés, restaurants, the Lexicon Library, Pavilion Theatre and IMC cinema. The popular weekend farmers’ market in People’s Park and nearby marine leisure facilities further enhance the lifestyle on offer. The charming village of Monkstown is equally appealing, offering an eclectic mix of boutiques, cafés, bars and renowned restaurants in a picturesque village setting. The area is exceptionally well serviced by public transport, including the DART and numerous Dublin Bus routes providing convenient access to the city centre.
Altogether, the location is second to none, placing every conceivable amenity within easy reach while enjoying all the benefits of Dublin’s most sought-after coastal suburbs.
