Hailing its moniker from the close by Tivoli Road, a historical path linking the medieval castles of Monkstown and Bullock, construction on the Tivoli terraces was initiated approximately in the 1830s. Tivoli Terrace South, the oldest section of the rectangular block, was once known simply as Tivoli Terrace according to Griffith’s Valuation of 1849, as the northern terrace wasn’t even depicted on the map. This area is adorned with a diverse range of architectural styles, featuring picturesque Georgian homes, along with pre and post-war residences, some of which have been significantly refurbished.
15 Tivoli Terrace South, one such home, dates back to the 1940s. Presently, it spans a generous square footage of 2,282 (212sq m), housing well-illuminated, sizeable rooms. This semi-detached property nestles within a gravelled drive fortified by walls, with ample off-road parking and optional on-street permits. It boasts three splendid reception rooms at the hall level.
An elevated, log-effect gas fireplace enhances the charm of one living room, while an open fireplace graces the second. Both flank the entrance hall. The rear features a spacious family dining area, opening out to the back garden through double doors and the sleek, galley-style kitchen. The kitchen, equipped with fitted units and a quartz countertop, connects to a modest courtyard adjacent to a side garden, accessible from the front drive. The ground floor also accommodates a utility room, a pantry, and guest restrooms.
On the upper level resides the primary bedroom with its en suite, occupying a stretch of 37sq m from the front to the rear of the house. The benefit of dual (or even triple, counting the en suite) aspect light due to one wall positioned at the gable end. The remaining spacious trio of bedrooms shares the family bathroom. The sense of space is encompassing within this house, particularly noted in the reception rooms and the majestic primary bedroom upstairs.
With its position on the corner of the terrace, the back garden is an undeniable asset to this ready-to-move-in house, boasting an expansive 31m (102ft) in length and 16m (52ft) in width. Upon moving in, new homeowners need only decamp their belongings. High laurel hedges envelope a stylish patio and deck combination, ensuring ultimate privacy along the path of Tivoli Terrace East. The garden’s focal point is a spacious lawn; a perfect space for football or a game of hide and seek. Moreover, keen gardeners will be thrilled with the ample room for potential garden development.
The property’s location is another aspect that is sure to intrigue potential buyers. The one-way road tends to be peaceful, yet the heart of Dún Laoghaire, filled with dining and shopping options, is only a short walk away. Furthermore, Monkstown village, boasting with plenty of choices, is easily accessible.
Visits to the beachfront, which accommodates three yacht clubs and a motor-yacht club, and the Dart station with city centre services, are a mere 15-minute walk away. In addition, local amenities include tennis courts, gyms and swimming facilities.
