Discover a Modern Victorian Gem in Dublin’s Dún Laoghaire
For those who crave the vibrant energy of a bustling town centre while still enjoying the comfort of their home, number 21 George’s Street Upper in Dún Laoghaire presents an ideal blend. This Victorian apartment offers a prime location in the heart of the seaside town, just meters from popular restaurants and shops.
Prime Location in Dún Laoghaire
Situated above Harry’s Cafe Bar on George’s Street Upper, this property is centrally located, making it a convenient option for residents and visitors alike. A short stroll down to the seafront, past the East Pier, and through the Dún Laoghaire Baths Plaza will bring you to the picturesque People’s Park, offering a break from urban hustle. Teddy’s ice cream, a beloved local spot, is also a stone’s throw away.
A Timeless Upgrade
Built around 1820, this spacious apartment has undergone a comprehensive modernization, transforming its Victorian charm into a contemporary living space. The owners wanted a blend of historical elegance and modern comfort, resulting in a property that seamlessly blends old-world charm with sleek, modern design. They commissioned MLK Interiors to reimagine the apartment, achieving a B2 energy rating with the installation of double-glazed sash windows.
Spacious and Stylish Living Areas
Upon entering through the exterior door on Northumberland Avenue, you step into a well-designed entrance hall equipped with cloak storage and cupboards. The hallway, featuring rich herringbone wood floors, leads to the kitchen/dining/livingroom, a large and bright space with walls of intricate braiding.
Painted black, the large sash window frames and shutters contrast beautifully with the backdrop of white walls and ceilings, creating a striking visual appeal. “Despite initial hesitation, once completed, the black window frames became my favorite feature,” notes the current owner.
The designer kitchen boasts built-in appliances, custom cabinetry, a large island, and marble countertops, further enhanced by bespoke lighting fixtures. Meanwhile, a generous dining area can be easily expanded for hosting occasions, complemented by a comfortable living space for everyday relaxation.
Luxurious Bedrooms with En Suites
Both bedrooms are generous in size, each boasting high ceilings, ceiling coving, and inset lights. These features make the rooms feel spacious and inviting. Each bedroom also comes equipped with its own en suite bathroom, designed with a blend of modern and traditional elements.
The first bedroom’s en suite is adorned with porcelain tiles, featuring a curved mosaic panel and a step-in double shower. In contrast, the second bedroom’s en suite is tiled with natural stone, offering a modern rectangular wash-hand basin with vanity unit and a spacious fully tiled shower fitted with a rainwater shower head.
