Gracious living, sea views and self-contained two-bed flat

MONKSTOWN: € 1.525M:IN THE 1860s four matching two- storey over garden level houses were built on Eaton Place in Monkstown.

They don’t come on the market too regularly, the last one was in the 1980s, but now number 2 Eaton Place is for sale through Douglas Newman Good for €1.525 million.

In its current layout, this is a three-bedroom house with a self-contained two-bedroom apartment at garden level.

The family live in the home as was intended, using the grand first floor room as their formal drawingroom. It’s large, elegant and has sea views.

Down at hall level are two imposing interconnecting rooms, the front room has a large bay window making it particularly spacious. The kitchen is in the back return.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms and in all there is 293sq m (3,150sq ft). Many of the original features are still there, including the ornate cornice work at hall level and the window shutters.

The front garden is designed for low maintenance, as is the back garden and there is off-street parking to the rear for two cars.
