IF A PERIOD home along the coast has been dominating your daydreams lately, 47 Montpelier Parade is certainly worth a look. The epitome of seaside grandeur, this three level Georgian home exudes timeless elegance but doesn’t hold back on modern comforts.
Set behind a beautiful façade, this large home extends to approximately 245 m², offering a really versatile layout. From the moment you step through the ornate front door, complete with stained-glass fanlight, you’re greeted by a sense of grandeur. A wide entrance hall, with its marble tiled floor and intricate ceiling cornicing, sets the tone for the rest of this impeccably decorated home.
The family room, complete with a modern wood-burning stove set into a bespoke media wall, provides a cosy and atmospheric space for everyday enjoyment. Adjacent to this is an additional reception room, currently styled as a cinema room, featuring a striking bioethanol fire and private access to the front terrace offering potential as a fourth bedroom or guest suite, if needed.
The main reception rooms are a lesson in classical proportions and fine detailing. Interconnected drawing and sitting rooms feature exquisite bespoke gas fireplaces with marble surrounds, tall shuttered sash windows and limed oak herringbone flooring. High ceilings adorned with ornate mouldings lend a stately air, while the clever restoration ensures these rooms are as welcoming for daily living as they are impressive for entertaining.
At garden level, the kitchen and dining space offers a more relaxed, contemporary vibe. Bathed in natural light from large Velux windows and French doors, this space opens directly onto a beautifully landscaped garden. The kitchen itself is a study in elegance, fitted with high-spec appliances, sleek cabinetry and stainless steel worktops. The limed oak floor continues throughout this level.
Also at this level, a separate utility room and stylish guest toilet bring function in line with form.
Upstairs, the main bedroom suite spans the full width of the house, enjoying views over Monkstown’s rooftops. Three shuttered sash windows flood the room with light, while a bespoke upholstered headboard and cast iron fireplace lend subtle drama. The adjoining en suite bathroom is finished to a super standard, with marble-topped vanity, oversized shower and underfloor heating.
A further two double bedrooms complete the upper floors. One is currently configured as a luxurious walk-in dressing room, plumbed for a future en suite bathroom. The family bathroom is a real showstopper. Once a fourth bedroom, it now offers spa-like indulgence with a freestanding bath, large walk-in shower and impeccable tiling making it a standout space in its own right.
The south-facing garden is a private oasis, complete with composite decking, mature planting, granite boundary walls and an artificial lawn. This tranquil space invites outdoor living and dining. There is even full planning permission for a 40 m² extension and garden room, if the next owner decides to dive into a project.
Positioned on one of Monkstown’s most popular terraces, No 47 enjoys a prime coastal location with everything closeby. The village’s vibrant mix of independent shops, restaurants and cafés is just a short stroll away. The DART station is within easy reach, offering swift access to Dublin city, while nearby Blackrock adds further retail and dining options. Local schools and leisure facilities make this an ideal address for families and professionals alike.
47 Montpelier Parade is a true showcase of how heritage architecture can be sensitively and beautifully reimagined for 21st-century living.
