Audrey Power with Keller Williams Ireland is delighted to bring this very special property to the market. No 9 Alexandra Terrace is a wonderful period property which has retained many of its original features and is steeped in history. Built as holiday homes for Dublin's gentry, within strolling distance of the seafront, Bray's Victorian townhouses have grace and style aplenty. Just minutes from the Co Wicklow town's centre they are also very close to its Dart connection to the city centre, and what is one of the most scenic commutes in the country. Built in 1865, 9 Alexandra Terrace, is one of a terrace of five on Novara Avenue. It is a fine example with period features including fireplaces, decorative coving and ceiling roses, and large timber sash windows, some of which still retain their original shutters & plantation shutters. Set over three storeys to the front with a four-storey return to the rear the bay-fronted property has been graciously restored over the past 16 years to include new bathrooms/ wet room and a fabulous extension to the rear with bespoke handmade kitchen in 2016 and upgraded with Miller Brothers floor tiles in 2020. The décor style marries a rich paintscape and contemporary creature comforts with an eclectic mix of traditional and modern style and furnishings. Accommodation comprises a bright entrance porch (with original tiles). At the entrance level there is a formal drawing room to the front, its focal point is its canted bay window and welcoming wood stove burner. Painted in a heritage English mustard the eye is drawn upwards to the impressive plasterwork and original coving, which you will find throughout the house. This room doubles as a home office. To its rear is the bright large spacious kitchen and snug room (which completely lives up to its name) with original stove and fireplace that can double up as a pizza oven if so desired, This room has been incorporated into the large kitchen accessed through French doors ; the kitchen is fitted with bespoke handmade oak units with stainless steel work surface and splash back and large panelled oak island with plenty of storage underneath including all fitted Neff appliances. The washing machine and dryer are tucked away in a utility cupboard. The generous skylight bathes the dining area in light. The space accommodates a very large dining table. The owners enlarged this part of the property by about 34sq m to the rear. Large Munster joinery sliding doors open out to a city-sized patio including a delightful pergola and open garden with a southerly aspect. From here there are views to Bray Head. Also included at the bottom of the garden is a Log house room which currently houses an infra-red sauna and rowing machine, it is fully wired with internet connection and can easily be converted into a home office. Large gates lead out to the rear of the property which has private parking on the lane On the first floor return is a fine wet room tiled with white subway tiles and painted a gorgeous Typographic blue. Next to this you will find the red room in tealeaf red walls, ceiling, doors and shutters all mono colour, it is currently used as a living room but can easily be used as a 5th bedroom.
