‘Merlin’ & ‘Avalon’, 36 Fortfield Terrace, Rathmines, Dublin 6

A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional semi-detached residence which comprising two own door, self-contained, two bed apartments namely ‘Merlin’ and ‘Avalon’ and extends to c.1750sqft / 162.6sqm. Dating from c.1929, this fine property was originally built as two independent apartments yet with its excellent proportions and flexible layout No.36 would easily convert to a very fine 4 bed family home.

The current owners have remodelled and upgraded this striking property over recent years and the result is top drawer. Upon entering Merlin you are greeted by a well proportioned light-filled entrance hall that runs the depth of the house. Into the left is an excellent reception room with an original fireplace with fitted gas fire and a bay window. On either side of the hall is a generous double bedroom - both retaining the original fireplaces. The kitchen/dining area lies to the rear of Merlin and is well fitted with a host of electrical appliances and has French doors leading onto a timber decked patio. The shower room makes quite a statement with its contemporary white bathroom suite against a metallic-effect uPVC wall cladding.

Upon entering Avalon you are greeted by a large entrance hall which is accessed from both the front driveway and the rear garden. The entrance foyer has a curved timber staircase with a feature glass brick wall letting the space and light flow easily. There is a substantial open-plan reception room at first floor level with a feature draped fireplace and a separate dining area. The kitchen has contemporary units with an opaque glass finish and top of the range appliances together with a floor to ceiling window looking over the rear garden. There is a utility room closeby which houses the hotpress, gas boiler, washing machine & tumble dryer. Again there are two generous double bedrooms and a modern, beautifully appointed bathroom.

To complete this perfect picture there is off-street parking for 3 cars to front with an additional large garage to rear. The rear garden, which is mainly set out in lawn, extends to c.61ft x 31ft with a private decked patio area and side pedestrian access.

Fortfield Terrace itself is a quiet residential road in one of Dublin 6’s most prestigious locations. Cowper Road and Upper Rathmines Road are both adjacent while Palmerston Park, the LUAS line and a host of shops, restaurants and top schools are all within a short stroll. City centre is just 2 and a half kilometres away.
