Positioned on one of Blackrock’s most prestigious and tree-lined avenues, 23 Cross Avenue is an exceptional two-storey over garden level detached Victorian home that effortlessly blends period elegance with generous living space and expansive, private gardens. This remarkable property, set on approx. 0.65 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural heritage in the heart of South County Dublin.

The grandeur of this distinguished residence is evident from first glance. A stately double flight of granite steps leads to a gracious entrance porch and an imposing reception hall, showcasing ornate ceiling coving and finely detailed cornicing, reflecting the refined craftsmanship of its era. The principal reception rooms – the drawing room and dining room – are elegantly appointed, with large bay windows, high ceilings, exquisite marble fireplaces, and decorative ceiling plasterwork, providing an atmosphere of timeless sophistication and grandeur. A third reception room offers additional flexibility, equally well-proportioned and adorned with a beautiful bay window and a striking marble fireplace. Also on the hall level is a private office, a guest w.c., and a convenient kitchenette.

The garden level of the property offers further scope and potential. With excellent ceiling height and generous proportions throughout, this floor comprises two sizeable living rooms, a fully fitted kitchen, a utility room, and two bedrooms. This level also benefits from ample storage, while offering the opportunity to reimagine the layout to suit individual needs and preferences. Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is spacious and bright, with large picture windows drawing in natural light and many original features still in place. Subject to planning permission, there is excellent potential to reconfigure this level to include en suite bedrooms and bespoke layouts to suit a growing family or multi-generational living.

The gardens surrounding the property are a true highlight. Mature trees, manicured lawns, and secluded seating areas offer privacy, tranquility and a picturesque setting year-round. A large driveway provides ample off-street parking, enhancing both convenience and curb appeal.

Located just a short stroll from Blackrock Village, residents will enjoy easy access to an array of boutique shops, cafes, restaurants, and two shopping centres. Renowned schools including Blackrock College, St. Andrew’s College, Willow Park, and Coláiste Eoin are all nearby. Excellent transport links via the DART, N11 and Rock Road ensure easy access to Dublin city and beyond.

23 Cross Avenue is a rare gem – a majestic Victorian residence in an enviable location, offering space, charm and endless potential.
