Description
Sherry FitzGerald is delighted to present a wonderful opportunity to acquire an extended and beautifully modernised two-bedroom period home in the heart of Old Kilmainham, further enhanced by the addition of a dedicated home office. No. 62 has been thoughtfully extended and comprehensively refurbished to an exceptionally high standard, with extension designed by renowned interior designer Róisín Lafferty, offering well-proportioned, modern and stylish accommodation throughout. This elevated home is complemented by beautifully landscaped and private front and rear gardens, providing an oasis in the heart of this highly sought-after location close to Dublin city centre and a range of exceptional amenities.
Opening from a recently added period-style front door, a bright entrance hall welcomes you with impressive double height ceiling, and original painted timber floorboards. The hall leads seamlessly to the main living room and, via a short flight of tiled steps, to the guest WC, bespoke understairs storage housing a dryer, and the generously proportioned open-plan kitchen/dining room. An original staircase ascends to the first-floor landing. The main living room is positioned to the front of the property. A large front-facing window fills the room with natural light while overlooking the beautifully planted front garden and benefits from a bespoke fitted blind. The room's features include a period feature fireplace and decorative coving, while modern additions such as LED downlighters enhance the space. Further features include a period-style door and original painted hardwood flooring.
The real hub of the home is the sympathetically extended open-plan kitchen/dining room, a great space designed with both everyday family living and entertaining in mind. Beautifully designed throughout with extensive storage, the bespoke kitchen features soft blue-grey wall and base cabinetry complemented by marble and wooden worktops and a seamless mirrored glass splashback.
There is an inset sink with mixer tap and an excellent range of integrated appliances.
The impressive central island incorporates a five-burner gas hob with extractor overhead and a double electric oven, creating a striking focal point within the room. Additional features include bespoke banquette seating with built-in storage and a central dining table, porcelain stone tiled flooring, and sliding door opening onto a level patio area with porcelain stone, creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Moving to the first floor we come to a split-level landing providing access to the well-appointed family
bathroom and the main bedroom, with steps to the upper level, where there is a generous double bedroom, a home office/study, and useful built-in storage.
Bedroom One is a generous double bedroom featuring two front-facing windows with bespoke fitted blinds, a period fireplace with original hearth, built-in wardrobes with hot press, and housing for the gas-fired boiler. The room is further enhanced by original painted timber flooring.
Bedroom Two is a sizeable double bedroom featuring a large rear-facing window overlooking the south-facing garden, a wall-mounted column radiator and hardwood flooring. Concertina doors between this bedroom and the adjoining office/study offers flexible accommodation to suit a variety of needs. A roof lantern provides an abundance of natural light, while hardwood flooring, a wall-mounted column radiator, and recessed shelving completes this great additional space. The family bathroom is complete with a deep-fill bath with a mains-fed shower overhead and glass shower screen, wall-mounted vanity unit incorporating a wash hand basin with mixer tap, a wall-hung WC, mirrored walls, cabinet, and a Velux skylight, which fills the space with natural light and finished with floor-to-ceiling tiling.
This completes the living accommodation thoughtout this beautiful home and we highly recommend viewing.
