Room Details
Extending to approx. 190 sq.m. (2,050 sq.ft.), the property boasts beautifully proportioned accommodation, with light-filled interiors, generous room dimensions and an abundance of original period features. Currently arranged as two separate residential units, the property offers exceptional flexibility and would lend itself to being easily reinstated as one substantial family home through the reinstatement of the original staircase.
The property is approached through an attractive pedestrian gated entrance, with steps leading to the original front door. A separate entrance to the lower level is discreetly positioned beneath the entrance staircase. The gardens to both the front and rear are neatly gravelled and framed by attractive original granite walls, while a vehicular entrance from the rear laneway provides valuable off-street parking, a particularly desirable feature for such a central village location.
The sense of space and graceful proportions is immediately apparent upon entering the upper-level accommodation. A particularly impressive dual-aspect reception room features high ceilings, ornate cornicing, an original marble fireplace and a door providing access to the rear garden. The accommodation on this level further comprises two generously proportioned bedrooms, a kitchen and bathroom. The lower level offers similarly spacious accommodation, comprising two reception rooms, two large bedrooms, a further kitchen and bathroom, together with separate utility space. The existing layout provides an excellent opportunity for multi-generational living, independent accommodation or, subject to the reinstatement of the staircase, the creation of a magnificent four-bedroom family residence.
The location is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest attractions. Situated in the heart of Monkstown, No. 3 Auburn Villas is just a short stroll from the ever-popular Monkstown Crescent, renowned for its wonderful selection of independent boutiques, speciality food shops, cafés, restaurants and gourmet establishments, including the much-loved Avoca.
Both Blackrock and Dún Laoghaire villages are within comfortable walking distance, offering an even wider choice of shopping, dining and leisure facilities. The picturesque coastline is close at hand, with the promenades and historic piers of Dún Laoghaire providing wonderful opportunities for seaside walks and outdoor recreation. For sailing enthusiasts, Dún Laoghaire is home to four renowned yacht clubs, together with its impressive marina and extensive maritime facilities.
The area is exceptionally well served by public transport, with Salthill & Monkstown DART station within easy reach, providing convenient access to Dublin City Centre and the wider coastal corridor. Numerous Dublin Bus routes also operate nearby.
Families are particularly well catered for, with an outstanding selection of highly regarded schools in the surrounding area, including CBC Monkstown, Newpark Comprehensive School, Blackrock College, St Andrew's College, Rathdown School, Castle Park School, Sion Hill, The Harold School and Monkstown Educate Together, to name but a few.
