4 d. ago Look inside: Elegant Victorian with Italianate tower offers stunning sea views over Killiney Bay for €7.5m

Look inside: This Victorian pile on Marino Avenue East in Killiney extends to 393sq m (4,230sq ft) and has been refurbished to an exacting standard, as the owner went right back to the shell of this impressive pile after she bought the house in 2018. The owner spent almost three years and significant sums to restore the property after falling for the “breathtaking sea views, proportions of the rooms and the practicality of the house”. A pretty one-bedroom cottage, also refurbished, is included in the sale.
