Description

This stunning period home perfectly blends original features with the best of modern conveniences. In the ownership of only two families over the past seventy five years, many of the original Victorian details remained untouched at a time when similar properties were being gutted for conversion to bedsits. EXPLORE INSIDE: The imposing front entrance, complete with fanlight and columns, leads to a spacious hall decorated in a classical style. The dining room and drawing room are found immediately off this hall. These are exceptionally comfortable rooms whose major features include original fireplaces, along with original dividing doors, shutters and covings. The high ceilings and crystal chandeliers lend enormous grandeur to these rooms which are ideal for entertaining on a small or grand scale. Upstairs the first room you reach is the family bathroom, complete with standalone clawfoot bath. The top floor comprises two spacious double bedrooms and a boxroom. A ‘secret door’ in the master bedroom opens to an ensuite – a real luxury in a home of this vintage where bathrooms were not originally planned, and achieved in this case without any compromise to the size of the main bedroom. All the bedrooms have built in wardrobes, with an integrated pull down ‘Murphy Bed’ in the boxroom wardrobe, and full TV wiring and power built into the cupboard over the built-in dressing table in the master. Downstairs on the lower return is the study, which features a stunning original stained glass window reincorporated by the current owners into a newly constructed return when the house was refurbished in the mid 2000’s. Ample floor to ceiling built in shelves and cupboards provide expansive storage, and the hot press is tucked unobtrusively into the corner of this room. The ground floor comprises a cozy sitting room with woodburner stove, a further double bedroom with shower room attached, a guest WC, and a generous built in kitchen with doors leading to the garden. The hand painted kitchen is very well equipped, including a Quooker hot water tap and a waste disposal unit. EXPLORE OUTSIDE: Off-street parking to the front, with a car charger in situ, is a very valuable feature in an area where planning to install driveways is routinely refused. To the rear there is a stunning sunny garden, beautifully landscaped, with electric lighting and heaters installed around the patio. At the end of the garden the large mews garage will house tools, hobby gear, cars and gym equipment. The upstairs of this building has been used as a games room by the current owners but with all services already connected to the building (water, gas, sewerage) it could serve very well as a home office. The installation of solar panels on both sides of the garage roof provides a good supply of electricity to charge two 5kw batteries. The rear door opens onto a lane that runs between Garville Avenue and Coulson Avenue, offering convenient access for bicycles as well as for bulky deliveries. Garville Avenue is one of the most sought after locations in Dublin 6. Over recent decades many of the homes that had been converted to multi-use have come back into family ownership and there is a vibrant younger generation growing up on the road again. The location places it in easy walking range of Rathgar, Terenure, Rathmines and Harold’s Cross. There are regular bus services that reach every school and university in the wider area. THE BOTTOM LINE: This turnkey home ticks all the boxes – B2 Ber rating, off-street parking, comfortable spacious rooms, wine cellar, hand painted solid timber kitchen, super location, attractive and functional garden, and much, much more.
