A once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire 35 Palmerston Road, an outstanding and iconic detached family home constructed c. 1877, this magnificent residence is arguably the finest house on Palmerston Road, one of Dublin's most prestigious and sought after residential addresses.
The grand facade of this unique family home is striking at first glance, blending an enchanting mix of Victorian and Gothic revival architecture. Standing well detached amongst its neighbours' number 35 is one of only 2 detached Victorian houses on the westerly side of this much coveted road.
Approached via a gated entrance, set well back from Palmerston Road, with ample parking for multiple cars, this impressive family home stands on approximately 0.3 acres of spectacular landscaped gardens to front and rear.
An elegant flight of granite steps leads to the hall door, beyond which lies a truly magnificent reception hall, laden with rich period detail characteristic of the era of construction. A series of windows offering interesting perspectives are situated over multiple levels and bring wonderful light into this most inviting space.
At hall level there are 3 very impressive reception rooms, ideal for hosting gatherings and entertaining guests in style or, perfectly suited for day-to-day use. These elegant rooms enjoy the characteristic period details found in homes of this era, to include superb mantlepieces and large windows taking advantage of the elevated views of the gardens and grounds below.
The expansive garden level of this home has been transformed and re-imagined by the present owners over the years. Family living is centred around the rear of the house where there is a magnificent family kitchen and dining area, which seamlessly opens to a very large, impressive and comfortable family room which is flooded with natural light. This is a wonderful space in which to live, enjoying all the modern comforts and conveniences a family home could offer, this entire space is designed to take full advantage of the incredible views and seamless connectivity with the gardens and grounds to rear.
This space is cleverly designed so that it can be opened as one large space which in turn opens up to the gardens beyond or can be separated to provide individual living spaces all with access to the gardens beyond. There is a large family / games / cinema room at this level also, providing very versatile space, ideal as a large separate space for kids of all ages, it adds to the already extensive accommodation at this level.
A large utility room, guest wc and entrance hall / boot room accessed from the lower front door make this a very practical family home.
There are 2 large double bedrooms as well as a shower room at this level. These bedrooms would be ideal for nanny accommodation or guest accommodation at ground floor if required.
The remainder of the bedroom accommodation is situated on the upper floors to include the primary suite with walk in wardrobe and ensuite shower room, then 3 additional bedrooms served by a well-appointed bathroom and shower room.
The wonderful interior of this special home has been meticulously maintained and upgraded many times over the last number of years. It enjoys lavishly appointed, yet practical family accommodation throughout combining the craftsmanship of a bygone era with all the contemporary conveniences you would expect to find in a home of this calibre.
The rear garden of this unique home is without doubt one of its most exceptional features. Extending to approximately 120ft with a most important westerly aspect, the garden which was designed by renowned landscaper Paul Doyle is laid out with an abundance of lush greenery, to include a meticulously maintained level lawn, an abundance of mature trees, Buxus hedging and topiary plants. A gravel pathway leads to a feature sculpture positioned in a circular arrangement of Buxus hedging below. There is double entrance vehicular gate to rear with turning rights in the gated laneway beyond. The garden is a true oasis of privacy and seclusion in this near city location, ideal for family use or entertaining on a grand scale and must be seen to be fully appreciated.
Palmerston Road is one of the most exclusive residential roads in Dublin, a wonderful tree lined road with an array of wonderful Victorian family homes, the popularity of this location is understandable given the array of amenities available in the immediate vicinity. Number 35 is within walking distance of nearby Palmerston Park, a selection of shopping amenities along locally renowned Dunville Avenue as well as Upper Rathmines Road. Importantly, the house is easily accessible to some of Dublin's most sought-after schools as well as being within walking distance of Ranelagh, Rathgar and Rathmines and a short walk to the Cowper Luas stop providing an effortless commute to Dublin City
