Home of RTE and Newstalk broadcaster Tom Dunne goes on sale in Dublin for eye-watering price

The home of Newstalk broadcaster Tom Dunne has hit the market in Dublin for a cool €1.25 million.

The singer and radio presenter's four-bedroom Dun Laoghaire property is described as an "exceptionally attractive 1930s built family home".

It is located in a "highly desirable cul-de-sac location within striking distance of The People's Park and Dun Laoghaire Seafront/Town", which is "one of south county Dublin's most popular coastal suburbs", according to the listing.

26 Rosmeen Gardens "is a superb four-bedroom home presented in excellent decorative order" which retains "many of the original features of the era".

These include "polished timber flooring, picture rails, bow-fronted windows and panelled doors" throughout the "bright and airy well-proportioned accommodation".

Dunne shares the home with his wife, the chef and writer Audrey McDonald, and their two teenage daughters.

Over the past 15 years, the family have enjoyed the "unparalleled convenience" of the home in leafy Dun Laoghaire.

The house has a "welcoming reception hall" and "two stunning interconnecting reception rooms" downstairs.

There is also a kitchen/breakfast room, a large light-filled family/sunroom with dining area overlooking the garden, according to the listing on MyHome.ie.

At first floor level, there are four bedrooms and a large family bathroom, as well as an attic "offering an additional 14sqm of space together with eaves storage and would be ideal for those working from home".

To the front of the property, there is gravelled and cobble lock driveway providing off-street parking for several cars with gated pedestrian side access.

"The rear garden is a particular feature of this excellent family home" and "is very private", the listing adds.

It is laid out "in a new raised deck area with steps down to an Indian sandstone patio bordered by lawn and mature beds", with a further patio/seating area at the end.
