Dating from c.1807, Summerville is undoubtedly one of Blackrock’s most impressive and attractive residences.

Standing on .5 acres (approx.) of wonderfully mature and secluded gardens, Summerville comprises a very imposing two storey over garden level detached residence with elaborate ironwork canopies to the front at Hall Floor level in addition to a most attractive cast iron balcony to the side and rear. Further enhancing Summerville’s appeal, is its prime location on Cross Avenue, one of South Co. Dublin’s most desirable and convenient residential roads.

Providing over 515 sq m / 5,540 sq ft (approx.) of wonderfully elegant and flexible accommodation, this majestic property has retained its numerous period features enabling the discerning purchaser to create a truly outstanding residence of unique style and character.

Located to the side of the property is an annex which currently provides additional accommodation to the main house but could be converted into a self-contained apartment, (subject to planning permission).
