Description
No. 15 Rathdown Park, a distinguished five-bedroom semi-detached residence ideally located on one of Terenure's most sought-after roads, beautifully nestled between the serenity of Bushy Park and the vibrant heart of Terenure village.
Built circa 1930 by renowned Edwardian builder Thomas Stringer, this impressive family home showcases many hallmarks of his architectural style, which is especially evident throughout Rathdown Park. Offering timeless character, exceptional proportions, and beautifully maintained gardens, this property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a forever home in a prime Dublin 6w location.
Set behind a mature and private front garden with generous off-street parking, the home's elegant façade opens to a warm and inviting interior. Meticulously cared for by the current owners for over five decades, the accommodation spans approximately 232 sq.m / 2,496 sq.ft (approx.) and retains many original period features throughout.
The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hall, two large reception rooms to the front, a study, conservatory, guest WC, utility room, and a bright breakfast room that links seamlessly to the kitchen overlooking the garden. Upstairs, there are five spacious bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, a family bathroom, and an additional WC.
The rear garden is a true highlight — bright and exceptionally private, it features a vibrant selection of specimen fruit trees, mature shrubs, and flowering plants that provide year-round interest. A paved patio area offers a tranquil setting for outdoor entertaining. There is also significant potential to extend the home (subject to planning permission) without compromising the integrity of the garden. A large detached garage provides additional storage space with obvious potential.
Location is key, and No. 15 Rathdown Park enjoys unrivalled convenience between the villages of Terenure, Rathgar, and Rathfarnham. Families will appreciate the proximity to a superb choice of schools including Terenure College, St. Mary's College, The High School, Templeogue College, Our Lady's, Presentation College, and St. Louis, as well as excellent primary schools such as St. Joseph's Terenure, St. Pius X, and Rathgar Junior School.
Bushy Park, with its expansive recreational amenities, is just a short walk away, while local shops, cafes, and services are easily accessible in nearby villages. The area is exceptionally well-served by public transport with multiple direct bus routes to the city centre and convenient access to the M50.
No. 15 Rathdown Park is a superbly located, generously proportioned home of character and charm, with stunning gardens and immense potential — a truly rare find in this highly regarded neighbourhood. Accommodation
