Description

Number 4 Rostrevor Terrace sits proudly on this much sought-after, tree-lined road, nestled in the heart of Rathgar. This exquisite semi-detached family home spans two storeys over garden level, radiating elegance. Offering an impressive 436 square meters (4,693 square feet approx.) of graceful, well-appointed living space filled with natural light, the property boasts a mature rear garden extending approximately 120 feet, benefiting from a desirable south-westerly orientation. Number 4 holds a rich and storied history dating back to its construction in the early 1860s. Originally built as part of the burgeoning development of Rathgar, this distinguished residence has witnessed the transformation of its surroundings over the decades. Its architectural elegance and timeless design reflect the Victorian era in which it was born, standing as a testament to the craftsmanship of its builders. Number 4 with its beautiful proportions, high ceilings, symmetry and light-filled accommodation graciously laid out over its 3 levels, not to mention the sizeable sunny gardens. Now the property is adapted perfectly to modern living in a style ideally consistent with its architectural heritage. A gravelled driveway with ample off-street parking and electric charging point serves a flight of wide granite steps lead up to the hall door. The entrance opens into the light-filled reception hallway with intricate cornicing and a centre rose giving a handsome introduction to the elegance of the house. At hall level you will find the beautifully appointed drawing room and dining room, both boasting period marble fireplaces and draught-proofed sash windows, with magnificent cornicing and centre roses. A very pretty dual aspect library is fitted with painted reproduction bookshelves and cabinets embracing the entire room, and opens onto the south west facing balcony. An elegant guest bathroom and cloakroom on the lower return makes the entrance floor stylishly self-contained. At garden level the kitchen/breakfast room exudes magnificence, featuring charming elements such as a window box seat, exposed granite wall, polished granite island and counter-tops and an archway flowing into the family room. Positioned at the rear, the family room boasts a generous bay window taking in the views of the mature, sunny rear garden. It has a beautiful original carved wooden fireplace and makes the ground floor a self-contained residential area. Across the hallway, an additional reception room provides for some 'get-away' space indeed this room would make an ideal home office/snug. The garden level, which includes a bathroom, is a fantastic space with great flexibility and practical day-to-day family living at its core. On the first floor, including the return, there are 4 bedrooms, two of which are as large as the reception rooms below, an elegant family bathroom and a linen storage room. Superbly located, Rostrevor Terrace is one of Rathgar's favoured roads featuring wonderful Victorian properties, home to families young and old with community at its heart. Rathgar Village with its array of shops, cafes and restaurants, the beautiful Dodder walks, proximity to Milltown Golf Club (which is less than a mile door to door), being so close to the city centre and having Dartry Health Club, Brookfield Tennis Club and Palmerston Park a few minutes' walk away are only some of the attractions and benefits of this prime location. Excellent junior and senior schools are also close by, as are the LUAS and Dublin Bus. Rathmines, Ranelagh and Terenure offer additional shopping, dining and leisure facilities close to your doorstep too. To the front of the property is a small park serving the houses on the terrace and offering privacy from the main road.
