Description
Tivoli Terrace South is a lesser travelled, one way road, dotted with handsome Victorian homes enjoying elevated views over Dublin Bay and Howth Head. Great vision and a leap of faith led our clients to purchase this charming residence in 2013, which they undertook to miraculously transform into something incredibly unique and highly desirable, just moments from the local glistening coastal line between Monkstown and Dun Laoghaire. As it appears now, not for a second could you possibly imagine the property's humble beginnings as the coach house to the attached residence next door, such was the extent of the work carried out by the current owners. Careful consideration went into each and every element of this home and every inch was made to measure with expert craftsmanship, resulting in comfortable elegance married seamlessly with modern conveniences and the discreet inclusion of a glass elevator has ensured that it is future proofed for the discerning purchaser. Cosy in the winter, come the summer time the Mediterranean style south facing garden is a haven of seclusion and tranquillity. Green fingers have created a wonderful space which is bursting with a variety of colourful plants and shrubs, making it the most wonderful spot to enjoy and entertain on the warmer days.
The front door opens into the entrance lobby which in turn leads into the open plan, ground floor space, incorporating an Orangery style dining area and living room with feature fireplace. The kitchen is located to the rear of the house overlooking the south facing courtyard garden and also features a breakfast counter that connects the kitchen and the living room.
On the first floor, we arrive at the magnificent drawing room which spans the entire width of the house. Neutral walls contrast elegantly with dark parquet floors and the tall ceilings are enhanced by intricate ceiling coving and a centre rose while the large, envy inducing log effect fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere while the twin sliding sash windows beautifully frame the views out to Dublin Bay and Howth Head. Also on this level, is a luxuriously appointed bathroom decorated in a rich aubergine colour.
Located on the second floor are two double bedrooms, both with elevated views of the coastline, a study area and shower room. The main bedroom is complete with walk-in wardrobe.
To the front of the property is a designated off-street car parking space and patio area. To the rear, is a glorious south facing courtyard garden. The Mediterranean style walled garden enjoys complete privacy and is a riot of colour during the summer season. A water feature together with well stocked raised borders with mature shrubs and flowers makes this garden a wonderful oasis in which to enjoy outdoor entertaining and 'al-fresco' dining. An attractive timber clad shed incorporates a useful utility area/guest WC. There is an additional storage shed.
Tivoli Mews is conveniently located on this sought after one way road within strolling distance of Dun Laoghaire's main thoroughfare offering a wide array of shopping facilities. The charming villages of Monkstown, Sandycove, Glasthule and Dalkey are all within close proximity with their vast choice of restaurants, cafés and specialist shopping facilities. There are many sporting facilities close by including several tennis clubs, a lawn bowling club, gyms and sports grounds, and of course Dun Laoghaire seafront is home to four sailing clubs along with many more marine leisure facilities not to mention spectacular coastal walks. Public transport links to include the DART, Aircoach and several Dublin Bus Routes provide ease of access to and from the city centre and beyond. Accommodation
