The exquisite Glenmaurice House, located at 71 St Lawrence Road, Clontarf, Dublin 3, has recently hit the market with an asking price of €1.95m. Represented by the esteemed Karen Mulvaney Property, this property is a testament to the history of the National Census forms.
Back in 1911, when inclusivity and political correctness were not yet priorities, the National Census forms required occupants to provide their names, ages, and additional information. One curious instruction was to indicate if any listed individuals were “Deaf and Dumb; Dumb only; Blind; Imbecile or Idiot; or Lunatic”. Interestingly, the owner of Glenmaurice House at the time, Maurice F Higginbotham, simply wrote, “None, thank God.”
Notably, Maurice’s son, Frederick, had already made a name for himself as a member of the Dublin City Council. His efforts to establish Howth as an urban district in 1919 marked a significant milestone, ultimately leading his parents to leave Clontarf and join him in the new locale. St Lawrence Road, where Glenmaurice House is situated, was a hub for architects, engineers, and other professionals who could afford the luxurious homes in one of Dublin’s most desirable neighborhoods.
Inside Glenmaurice House, which spans an impressive 2,583 sq ft, you’ll find an array of Victorian features dating back to its construction in 1876. These include stunning coving, cornicing, ceiling roses, fireplaces, and stained-glass window panels. The accommodation within the property comprises a welcoming living room and a stylish dining room adjacent to the hallway. A few steps lead you to the charming kitchen/breakfast room, an office/library, a sunroom, a utility room, a convenient shower room, a cozy family room, and a side garage.
As you ascend to the first floor, you’ll come across a delightful double bedroom on the return, and on the floor above, there are two bedrooms, one of which is en-suite. The top floor of the house is thoughtfully dedicated to a spacious bathroom. Furthermore, the property boasts a 250ft-long back garden, adding to its allure.
