Description
A very fine light-filled Victorian two storey over garden level home extending to approximately 217 sqm (2,335 sqft). Beautifully renovated and restored, it offers elegant, well-proportioned reception rooms, three double bedrooms upstairs and a fourth bedroom at garden level. Throughout, the house combines fine period detail with high-quality contemporary craftsmanship, including elegant interconnecting reception rooms, and a kitchen/breakfast room with double doors opening out to the rear garden.
Superbly positioned on an attractive terrace of just eight houses, the property is only moments from Leeson Street and Ranelagh Village, with their excellent shops, restaurants and cafés, and within comfortable walking distance of St Stephen's Green. Ranelagh Luas stop is about a five-minute walk away, providing easy access to the city centre, Sandyford and beyond. Families are also well served by some of South Dublin's most highly regarded junior and secondary schools, including Scoil Bhríde, Sandford Park, Gonzaga College, St Mary's College and Muckross Park.
Number 6 is a warm and welcoming home, ideal for entertaining. At hall level, elegant interconnecting living and dining rooms are rich in period detail, with high ceilings, fine marble fireplaces, attractive cornicing, a centre rose, panelled doors and large sash windows with working shutters. At garden level, a bright, well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room opens through double doors to the rear garden. To the front, the fourth bedroom includes an en-suite shower room and could also serve as an additional reception room. A practical utility room off the kitchen and excellent understairs storage complete the garden-level accommodation.
Upstairs, there are three further generous double bedrooms, one with an en-suite, together with a family bathroom.
Outside, the front and rear gardens are a standout feature. The railed and walled front garden has a gravelled centre, landscaped beds, hedging and a tiled pathway leading to the granite steps and hall door. A separate front entrance provides access to the garden level. To the rear, the private landscaped garden is a peaceful and stylish oasis with a pleasant south-easterly aspect, extending to approximately 20m/66ft. It includes a patio area, mature planting, hedging and a granite pathway leading to the rear. Valuable off-street parking is provided by a cobble-lock parking area with double gates accessed from a lane off Sallymount Avenue. There is also an outside water tap and a timber Barna shed offering excellent storage.
This stylish, warm and inviting family home combines immense charm and character with every conceivable amenity on its doorstep, making it ideal for those seeking a period home in Dublin 6. Accommodation
