Description
An exceptionally attractive mid-terraced Victorian residence, 7A Martello Avenue enjoys a prime position in this unparalleled coastal setting. Situated at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, this delightful home is adjacent to a pedestrian access point to The Metals, a unique historic walkway linking Dalkey to Dún Laoghaire Harbour. This coveted address is within a short stroll of Glasthule Village, Dún Laoghaire Town Centre, and the seafront, with the People's Park literally just over the rear boundary wall.
7A Martello Avenue is a very attractive four-bedroom home blending the refined charm of the Victorian era with light-filled modern living. Impeccably presented throughout, the property retains many original period features including sliding sash windows, high ceilings, ornate ceiling coving, original timber floorboards, and two beautiful two fireplaces.
The entrance is approached through a wooden gate opening onto a stone pathway flanked by a variety of trees and shrubs. A stylish open porch entrance sets the tone, allowing natural light to pour into the welcoming reception hall which spans to the kitchen/breakfast/family room at the rear. Also towards the end of the entrance hall is a beautiful reception room which opens to the sunroom with double doors to the rear garden. Incorporated in the hall is a guest w.c. and ample understairs storage. Upstairs, the light-filled landing is illuminated by striking architect-designed skylights and connects to the four bedrooms and bathroom completing the living space. The tranquil westerly-facing private rear garden is an ideal setting for outdoor dining and relaxation.
Situated in one of South Dublin's most desirable coastal suburbs, 7A Martello Avenue offers an enviable lifestyle. Glasthule and nearby Sandycove, Dalkey, and Monkstown provide a vibrant mix of boutique shopping, gourmet dining, and charming cafes.
Excellent transport links are just minutes away, including the Sandycove/Glasthule DART Station, offering swift access to the city centre. The area is also renowned for its parks, beaches, and outdoor amenities—from the famous Forty Foot swimming spot to Killiney Hill walks and sailing at the four nearby yacht clubs.
The locality is also well-served by top-tier primary and secondary schools not forgetting a host of sports and leisure clubs including rugby, GAA, tennis, and hockey. Accommodation
