IF YOU’RE SEARCHING for a well-located home with plenty of character on Dublin’s south side, the towns along the DART line are an excellent place to start. Many of these period properties may require some renovation, but for buyers open to a project, they offer a unique opportunity to create something truly special while ticking all the right boxes.
Set on a distinguished corner along one of the most striking terraces near Dún Laoghaire, 14 Tivoli Terrace South is a home that speaks of heritage, scale and huge potential. This striking period property, extending to 314 m², offers a chance to craft a truly bespoke residence in a prime coastal setting.
From the moment of arrival, the home’s presence is unmistakable. Granite steps rise to an elegant entrance, hinting at the character that lies within. Inside, original features remain intact, lending authenticity and charm throughout the interiors.
The accommodation unfolds over three generous levels, each presenting a wealth of opportunity. At hall level, a gracious reception hallway is flanked by two beautifully proportioned reception rooms. One enjoys a dual aspect, drawing in natural light and enhancing the sense of space. These rooms lend themselves effortlessly to a variety of uses, from formal entertaining spaces to a refined study or library.
To the back, the layout invites reimagination. The existing kitchen area connects to one of the reception rooms, creating the perfect foundation for a contemporary open plan kitchen and family hub. Beyond, the property opens directly onto a sun-drenched, south-facing garden. Currently configured as a play space, it offers a blank canvas for landscaped planting, outdoor dining or stylish outdoor entertaining.
Upstairs, the current office configuration hints at the home’s versatility. With thoughtful redesign, this level could easily accommodate four or five spacious bedrooms, complemented by en suite bathrooms.
The garden level adds yet another dimension. With its own access and a series of bright, dual-aspect rooms, it presents an exciting opportunity for a self-contained apartment, if planning allows. Whether envisioned as guest accommodation, space for extended family or even a rental unit, the flexibility here enhances the appeal of this house.
Practicality is also well addressed. Off-street parking for multiple cars adds everyday convenience, while the proximity to Dún Laoghaire town centre ensures that a wealth of amenities, schools and coastal attractions are all within easy walking distance.
14 Tivoli Terrace South is a project rich with promise. For those with vision, it offers the chance to restore and refine a substantial period home into a magnificent long-term home, perfectly attuned to contemporary family life while honouring its architectural heritage.
