Sizeable semidetached home on the Hill dates from 1840 and is ‘restful’ while also being close to amenities
, and properties here date from about 1840. Previously known as Monkstown Hill, a pair of these houses were first developed for two brothers of the Pim family, well-known local merchants who lived at nearby Monkstown House.
Because of this, it will tick quite a few boxes for well-heeled house-hunters in search of a period home full of architectural details standing on a good-sized plot in one of the most-sought-after areas of south Co Dublin.Its enviable half-acre site is accessed via electric gates along a gravel driveway flanked by mature plants, leading to off-street parking for a number of cars, while herbaceous borders stocked with shrubs and trees lie to the rear in a most private garden.
A flight of outdoor granite steps leads to hall level and the pièce de résistance of this early Victorian period property: a double reception room. It is full of natural light and views thanks to its dual-aspect bay windows, and has incredible plasterwork and the original white marble chimney piece creates a focal point, especially in winter, when a roaring fire adds to the ambience of the room.
Beyond is a good-sized family room and a study, bringing the total numbers of reception rooms to five.
