30 Northumberland Avenue is a Victorian period home built circa 1870 which has remained a single family home and never been sub-divided. It is a spacious property with broad granite steps leading through a hardwood door flanked by columns, with a fan light over, into a welcoming and generous entrance hall with enormous reception rooms either side. The beautifully proportioned rooms have high ceilings and retain some original features such as plasterwork, window shutters, broad pine floorboards and granite walls, window sills, lintels and steps.

This property is a fine blank canvas waiting for a new owner to re-invigorate it and give it fresh life as a contemporary home in an enviable location close to the sea, DunLaoghaire town centre and harbour. It is just a 10 minute walk from the East pier where you can get delicious fish and chips from the Fish Shack or listen to the performances in the bandstand during the summer months. Other local attractions include the prow shaped library, the Maritime Museum, two yacht clubs and the Royal Marine Hotel. The popular 40ft swimming spot and Sandycove beach are less than 30 minutes walk down the promenade.

For shopping you have a choice between Dun Laoghaire Shooping Centre or the newer Bloomfields Shopping Centre with a great range of other smaller boutiques, specialist retailers, restaurants, pubs and coffee shops.

The nearby DART line gives speedy access to Dublin City Docklands, City Centre and Howth to the north, or to the charming seaside villages of Dalkey, Killiney and Greystones to the south.
