Description
Occupying a lovely position overlooking leafy Belgrave Square, number 15 is a Victorian residence of exceptional character and architectural elegance. Dating from the 1850's, this impressive two-storey over garden level home extends to approx 247 sq.m. (2,659 sq.ft.) and enjoys a coveted setting in the heart of Dublin 6, perfectly positioned between the vibrant villages of Rathmines and Ranelagh.
Rich in period charm, the property retains an abundance of features synonymous with the Victorian era, including intricate plasterwork, sash windows, marble fireplaces and gracious proportions throughout, all complemented by a superb rear garden of approximately 170 ft (52.5m) and private off-street parking to the front.
A flight of granite steps leads to the hall-level entrance where an elegant reception hall opens to two beautifully proportioned interconnecting reception rooms. At first-floor level there are two very spacious bedrooms, including a superb principal bedroom spanning the full width of the house and commanding a spectacular view across Belgrave Square. A third bedroom and wc is situated on the first return with a family bathroom positioned on the hall return.
At garden level, an inner lobby leads to an open-plan kitchen/dining room that extends from front to rear, creating an ideal space for everyday family living and entertaining. French doors open onto the rear patio and garden, seamlessly connecting indoors and outdoors. Also at this level are a utility room, guest wc and a fourth bedroom, which could equally serve as an additional reception room, home office or family room.
Outside, the front garden provides valuable off-street parking. To the rear, the mature garden is framed by attractive cut-stone walls. Landscaped with a variety of mature trees, shrubs and planting, it offers a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity. A stone-built shed and a garden room further enhance this exceptional outdoor space.
The location is second to none. Belgrave Square is a much sought-after address, with the extensive amenities of Rathmines and Ranelagh just moments away. Many of Dublin's premier junior and senior schools are within easy reach, together with an excellent selection of recreational facilities including Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club, David Lloyd Riverview, Dartry Health Club, and both Milltown and Elm Park Golf Clubs. The city centre is within comfortable walking distance, while the Luas at both Beechwood and Ranelagh provides swift and convenient access across the city.
15 Belgrave Square is a home of remarkable elegance, scale and provenance in one of Dublin's most desirable Victorian squares. Accommodation
