Dún An Óir

A Rare Opportunity to Own a Special Family Home in Howth – "Dun An Oir"

Set on an elevated and wonderfully private site of approximately two-thirds of an acre, Dun An Oir is a charming two-storey detached residence that offers an exceptional opportunity for a family to acquire something truly special in the heart of Howth.

Boasting approximately 2,665 sq ft of spacious and well-proportioned accommodation, the main residence is beautifully complemented by a purpose-built studio (c.375 sq ft) and a separate garage with an adjoining workshop (c.475 sq ft), offering flexibility for work, hobbies, or guests.

From the moment you enter, the views will take your breath away. With a sweeping panorama of almost 180 degrees, the outlook stretches from the shimmering waters of Dublin Bay to the city skyline, and as far as Dublin Airport to the west. Whether by day or night, the ever-changing landscape is a constant source of wonder—bathed in sunlight or twinkling under a canopy of city lights.

The interior layout is ideal for family living, with a welcoming reception hall, three generous reception rooms, a kitchen, four bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The elevated studio at the rear enjoys some of the best views from the property and is perfectly suited for use as a home office, creative space, or comfortable guest accommodation.
