An Edwardian house in Monkstown with views of Dublin Bay, Albert Reynolds’s former home in D4 and a cottage in Dalkey are on view this weekend
AN Edwardian, six-bedroom house at 2 Belgrave Road, Monkstown, Co Dublin is new to the market, asking €995,000 through Sherry FitzGerald. The 215sq m (2,315sq ft) semi has two impressive reception rooms with original marble fireplaces while a third reception room to the rear of the house adjoins the kitchen-cum-diningroom. The bedrooms are arranged on three upper levels, with the main bedroom spanning the front of the house with views over Dublin Bay.
On view Saturday 1pm-2pm
Former Taoiseach Albert Reynolds’s previous home, a double apartment off Anglesea Road in Ballsbridge, is on the market at €1.75 million through Sherry FitzGerald. Apartment 2, Sycamore, Hazeldene, is larger than most five-bedroom houses with 223sq m (2,400sq ft) of living space and views over the grounds of Merrion Cricket Club.
The layout includes three bedrooms and a large drawingroom complete with fireplace (where a real fire can be lit) and patio doors opening onto a large, south-facing balcony. There is a second outdoor space in the form of a terraced garden. There are two further reception rooms. The main bedroom has a refurbished ensuite bathroom and a dressingroom. Hazeldene is one of the first blocks in Ireland to offer a concierge service. However, this results in a higher than average service charge; in the case of this double apartment it’s €7,200 per annum.
On view Saturday, 11.30am- 12.30pm

In Blackrock, Savills has reduced the price of a detached house at 34 Stillorgan Grove to €950,000 to attract a buyer. Called Modeshill, the four-bedroom house, which dates from 1908, is in good decorative order with some potential to extend the 144sq m (1,550sq ft) further into the garage at the side. The layout includes a 27ft livingroom that runs from front to back of the house and features a modernist, marble-clad fireplace.
On view Saturday 1pm-1.30pm
In Dalkey, Lisney is asking €375,000 for a cottage set in a cul de sac called Montevella, off Barnhill Road. The two-bedroom, double-fronted house has 92sq m (990sq ft) of living space, much of it given over to a 23ft reception room lit by a wide bay window. The house needs work, but there is some scope to extend, with a good-sized garden to the side.
