162 Rathgar Road, Rathgar, Dublin 6

Sherry FitzGerald are pleased to introduce 162 Rathgar Road to the market. A distinctive two storey over garden level Victorian residence on very impressive gardens with a site to the rear with lapsed planning permission for an attractive 2 bedroom mews (134sqm approx). Superbly positioned along this most popular and convenient residential road between the Villages of Rathgar and Rathmines, this impressive residence is surrounded by a wealth of local amenities to include a wonderful variety of shops and fine restaurants, delicatessens, public transport, a wide range of excellent junior and secondary schools as well as being within 2 miles of St. Stephen's Green.

Situated at the city-end of Rathgar Road, No. 162 is well set back from the road with good off-street parking for 3 cars. Internally the accommodation is well laid out over 3 levels and provides for versatile living/use. Exceptionally well maintained by its current owners, most of its original period embellishments and features remain intact - original gateposts to the front, ceiling coving and centre pieces, panelled doors and architraving, timber floors and most noteworthy several handsome marble fireplaces.

At hall level there are two formal interconnecting reception rooms with a kitchen/breakfast room and guest w.c. on the return. Upstairs there are four generous bedrooms (3 good doubles), the master of which is en-suite. The garden level accommodation provides an additional 2 bedrooms, family room, games room, with bathrooms and a laundry room. There is access to the front garden, suggesting it would be feasible to use this as a separate self-contained unit, providing accommodation for a live-in relative or indeed home/income option etc.

At an impressive 3,370 sq.ft. approx., this is a property that will serve your changing needs as your family grows/lifestyle changes.

Further enhanced by a large south-east facing rear garden with vehicular access onto Rathgar Place, an established mews lane. The cut-stone wall to the original coach house still stands proud. There is lapsed planning permission for a 2 bedroom mews residence of 134 sq.m. approx., allowing also for a built-in garage (ref: application no. 2751/06 / decision order no. P3672). The mews accommodation will comprise entrance hall, living room, kitchen / dining room, utility room/cloaks, guest w.c., with two double bedrooms (both en-suite) upstairs.

It is seldom that such an exciting proposition comes to the market: a truly fine period home with much-lauded off-street parking and good gardens complete with the added benefit of a mews site to the rear.

Sure to be of appeal to many a discerning buyer.
