Nestled within the elegant surrounds of Brooklawn House, a striking villa-style residence dating back to the 1860s, this unique one bedroom duplex apartment offers a rare opportunity to own a home rich in character, charm and history. Brooklawn House was thoughtfully converted into just six apartments, creating an exclusive and intimate residential setting while preserving the grandeur and architectural beauty of its Victorian origins.

From the moment you step into the magnificent communal entrance hall, the sense of occasion is unmistakable. A spectacular full-height arched stained-glass window provides a stunning focal point, flooding the space with colourful natural light and offering an elegant welcome to residents and visitors alike.

The apartment itself is a wonderful blend of period elegance and comfortable modern living. Awash with original features, it captures all the grandeur and craftsmanship of its era on a more intimate scale. High ceilings, generous proportions and beautiful architectural detailing combine to create a home of immense warmth and character..

Arranged over two levels, the duplex layout adds to the property's individuality, providing a wonderful sense of space and separation between living and sleeping accommodation. Every room reflects the timeless appeal of this historic building, while offering a comfortable and practical environment for modern-day living.

The apartment’s front door opens directly into a magnificent drawing room of exceptional proportions, boasting an impressive ceiling height of almost 14 ft. Rich in period character, the room is adorned with intricate cornice plasterwork, an exquisite centre rose, a striking marble fireplace, and two sets of French doors opening onto Juliet balconies, all contributing to the elegance, grandeur, and charm of this truly unique home.
A staircase leads to the lower level, where the kitchen/breakfast room, spacious double bedroom, and shower room are located. From the kitchen, a French door opens onto a communal terrace overlooking a tranquil sylvan setting, providing a wonderful sense of peace, privacy, and serenity.
The location is equally impressive. Tucked away just off Stradbrook Road, Brooklawn House enjoys a highly convenient setting with the vibrant villages of Blackrock, Monkstown and Deansgrange all within easy reach. Residents are spoiled for choice with an excellent selection of cafés, restaurants, boutiques, parks and recreational amenities nearby, while excellent transport links ensure easy access to Dublin city centre and beyond.

Combining period grandeur, unique architectural features and a highly desirable South Dublin location, this exceptional duplex apartment represents a truly rare and appealing home.
