A Clontarf Victorian four-bed, with the sea on your doorstep

Seeking €1.5 million, this Clontarf home offers seascapes, outdoor exercise options, shops, restaurants, and space to walk the dog, all on your doorstep

Address: 164 Clontarf Road, Clontarf, Dublin 3

Asking price: €1.5 million

Agent: KM Property

The Clontarf Promenade is one of the capital’s great democratic spaces where everyone can enjoy the vistas of Dublin Bay, Bull Island, the Poolbeg chimney stacks, and watch the maritime traffic sailing into and out of Dublin Port.  

It’s a compelling perspective that most of us must leave behind when we return to our own homes.

Not so the next owner of number 164 Clontarf Road, a sizeable four-bedroom, three-bathroom Victorian residence that has been gently modernised.

You can join the walkers, runners, and those working out on the open-air gym, or just sit in the private and well-landscaped front garden and drink in the views from there.

The bay-window fronted terraced redbrick is set on an east/west axis to enjoy the sun all day.

Well back from the road, it comes with two designated parking spaces to the rear, accessed via Summerville, which allows it the luxury of a pedestrian-accessible front garden.

The family home has ceiling heights that extend to 3.4 metres, sash timber windows, and opens into an L-shaped entrance hall that conceals the stairs from view.

There’s a formal living room to the front with a seated area within its bay window – a place to soak up the light on inclement days.  

Deep, well-upholstered velvet sofas are set around a marble fireplace, and there is decorative coving and a ceiling rose.

The rest of the ground floor is set to the rear of the stairs and includes a formal dining room and adjacent sitting room, both of which lead through to the large, eat-in kitchen.

It has timber beam detailing in its pitched roof and leads out to the low-maintenance garden.

There are three bedrooms on the first floor.

To the front is the principal, which has compelling seascape vistas, an ensuite, and a walk-in wardrobe.

The fourth bedroom is on the first-floor return.

 The property is a short walk to the shops and restaurants of Vernon Avenue, which includes Nolan’s supermarket, one of the best independent stores of its kind.

Agent KM Property is seeking €1.5 million for the property, which extends to 225 square metres.
