Description
Positioned on a terrace of handsome red brick houses, no. 15 Park Place is a beautifully presented period home dating from the late 1800's. The property is deceptively spacious and being two storey over garden level allows for flexible use of the space, the property has been very well maintained, upgraded and decorated with great style and flair. The current owners have lovingly preserved many of the original features and added their own character with vibrant colours and decorative flourishes.
The houses on the terrace are a valued part of the local heritage of the area and as such Dublin City Council has recognised this by including these properties on their list of Protected Structures.
Many of the original features remain such as pretty cast iron fireplaces, wooden sash windows many with shutters, polished wooden floors and ceiling covings. The ceilings are high which gives the house a great sense of space. The accommodation is well laid out and flexible so will suit a family looking for a great home in a fabulous location literally across the road from the Phoenix Park. The location is very convenient being within easy reach of the city centre, Kilmainham, Stoneybatter and Chapelizod.
The accommodation comprises a beautiful entrance hallway with tiled floor, fabulous ceiling plasterwork and a large arched window on the return flooding the hall with light. To the left of the hallway there are two interconnecting reception rooms, both with polished wooden floors, cast iron fireplaces and sash windows. Steps lead from the hallway down to a newly fitted and luxuriously appointed family bathroom comprising free standing bath, double shower, wash hand basin with storage beneath and w.c. At garden level where the ceilings are surprisingly high, the kitchen is fitted with a great range of floor and wall units with plenty of space for a dining table and pantry. At this level there is a third bedroom with cast iron fireplace. Also at this level is a utility room with a range of fitted units and laundry space. On the first floor the main bedroom spans the width of the property with cast iron fireplace, polished wooden floor, fitted wardrobes and two large sash windows flooding the room with light. There is another double bedroom with cast iron fireplace overlooking the rear garden. On the second return there is a newly fitted w.c with wash hand basin and fitted shelving.
To the rear the garden is low maintenance and benefits from a southerly aspect and pedestrian access to a rear laneway. There is plenty of space for al fresco dining.
The area enjoys a wealth of amenities both social and essential, with local attractions including Heuston South Quarter, Phoenix Park, Kilmainham Goal, War Memorial Gardens, The Irish Museum of Modern Art, the Hilton Hotel and Leisure Centre. Shopping facilities are plentiful in nearby Kilmainham, Chapelizod, Stoneybatter and the city centre. Excellent transport facilities are available including a selection of bus routes, the Luas and Heuston station being just about ten minutes' walk away, and superb access to both sides of the city centre, the M50 and many major national routes.
