2 Marine Terrace, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin, A96P920, Ireland

Just a few short steps from the lapping shoreline, No. 2 Marine Terrace stands proud amidst this picture perfect, directly sea facing, period terrace that majestically peers out over Scotsman's Bay and out to Howth Head. An immensely appealing property, it has been recently renovated and upgraded, under renowned local architect David Shannon of The Architects, and now presents itself as a contemporary home encased within a wonderfully cared for period building, beautifully marrying old with new and set against a modern, low maintenance south facing garden, perfectly connected to the kitchen, with secure off-street parking. Laid out over four floors, the garden level is currently in use as a separate one-bedroom apartment which will provide the new owner with a lucrative income, an additional family residence or au-pair suite or of course it could be integrated back into the main house.

A light and airy atmosphere is present throughout the house and while having been modernised it has retained much of its original features that make these houses so special. The entrance hall door has the original fan light overhead and invites light into the hall which is also lit from the windows that are present to the rear of the stairwell. The interconnecting reception rooms at this level are now in use as an open plan kitchen/living/dining with a fabulous feature fireplace and stunning ocean views. The kitchen area, with island unit incorporating a breakfast counter, has been cleverly connected to the garden via a light bearing glazed door and a contemporary bridge with glazed balustrade. A guest w.c. completes the accommodation on this level. On the first floor, the reception rooms are again interconnecting and are graciously appointed with tall ceilings and elevated sea views. The rear reception room at this level has full planning to be turned into a fourth bedroom with en-suite. At the top of the house there are three double bedrooms, with principal en-suite and a shower room.

The ground floor apartment is entered from the front of the property. It has been smartly upgraded and comprises a spacious open plan living/dining that connects through to a kitchen with utility area. The hallway has extensive fitted storage and leads to a double bedroom and shower room.


Number 2 occupies a prime position on the coast overlooking Scotsman's Bay and Dun Laoghaire Pier and is just a short walk from the bustling village of Glasthule with its boutique shopping and gourmet restaurants, while Dun Laoghaire town provides a wealth of amenities both social and essential. There is a wide selection of sporting and recreational amenities in the area including yacht clubs, golf clubs, tennis clubs, beautiful walks down the seafront and over and around Dalkey and Killiney Hills as well as the four yacht clubs and an extensive marina at Dun Laoghaire Harbour, which will be of major interest to the marine and sailing enthusiast.

Public transport links to the city centre are easily accessible with the DART station at Glasthule and the No.7 bus stop both close by, while the Aircoach provides direct access to Dublin Airport. There are also many highly regarded schools in the area.
