Villa Milano was originally built in around the 1850s, but over the years, it has been modernised. Its current owners have substantially renovated and redesigned it under the eye of Paul O'Callaghan Architects (Poca).
Now extending to 267 sq m (2,873 sq ft) with a Ber of B3, the Dalkey property has hit the market with an asking price of € 3.5 million.

Villa Milano's owners addressed a lack of street parking by building a sheltered carport under the front terrace of the property, one that comfortably takes two cars.
Hit by a wave of heat as you step onto the front terrace on a sunny day would be an experience like no other. Kick your shoes off, park yourself on a sunlounger and grab yourself a tipple.

On the west side of the terrace, there is a small al fresco dining area - the perfect spot to enjoy your morning cup of Joe as you take in the glorious views. There is an electric awning above.
Inside, the reception lobby and entrance hall boasts herringbone flooring, a porthole window in the front door, and shutters into the lobby.
An inner lobby has shelving for books and ornaments and a cupboard for storage. It leads to a guest WC in the back which has a tiled floor, partially tiled walls, a power shower and a window that looks out to the rear of the property.
