Description

A gracious and substantial Grand-Dame Victorian home wonderfully positioned on the lesser-travelled stretch of Palmerston Park, which takes in wonderful views of the historic park. Standing tall and proud, looking out over the expanse of nature that is historic Palmerston Park, 16 Palmerston Park is an imposing two-storey over garden level semi-detached late-Victorian residence (c.1880), which enjoys light-filled, graciously proportioned accommodation throughout (408 sqm / 4392 sqft approx.) on mature gardens of 0.20 acre approx., well set back from the road. Distinct from other houses on Palmerston Park in many ways, Number 16 is signified by locals as one of a few substantial houses with 3-windows across its front elevation (at hall level) with the entrance door to the side and slightly stepped back. Large sash windows punctuate its aesthetic and flood the interior with incredible natural light throughout, even on the dullest of days, whilst the seasonal colours of the gardens and historic Palmerston Park to the front provide for a truly unique ever-changing vista. For a property in the heart of Dublin 6 and only 600m from the Luas at Cowper Road, this wonderful home really is ensconced in nature and enjoys a lovely sense of seclusion and tranquility quite a rare find indeed. The property has been in the same ownership since 1939. Many is the celebration that has been enjoyed in Number 16 from get-togethers at Christmas in the magnificent dining room, to parties in the elegant drawing room. Approached via a flight of granite steps, the hall level / 'piano nobile' accommodation perfectly illustrates the features synonymous with the Victorian era. Rooms of elegant proportions are resplendent in original period features from intricate cornicing to centre roses to marble fireplaces to tall sash windows, all of which are wonderfully showcased by 12ft high ceilings. Three gracious reception rooms drawing room, dining room and morning room - are well served by a kitchen and guest w.c. on the return. The original staircase with hand-carved balustrade takes you to the bedroom accommodation on the first floor and its returns, as does a lift, which operates between the hall level and first floor. Light, space and proportion continue to abound on the first floor and its returns, which includes four generous double bedrooms, one of which enjoys a full bathroom ensuite (originally a bedroom), along with family bathroom and separate w.c.. The garden level accommodation highlights the versatility of this property and comprises a homely kitchen/breakfast room, which interconnects with a living room, whilst off the hallway are two bedrooms (bedrooms 5 and 6), Jack and Jill shower room and home office/bedroom 7. A utility room has been cleverly fashioned under the granite steps, complete with its own entrance door, whilst a separate access to the side garden is also found off the hallway, which houses a guest w.c.. Access to the garden can also be found off the rear hallway. Description of this fine home would not be complete without mention of its superb, sought-after location. It is within walking distance of extensive local amenities including Palmerston Park, two Luas stops at Cowper and Milltown affording swift access to St. Stephen's Green, Dundrum and Sandyford. The 140 route Dublin Bus stop is less than 3-minutes walking distance from Number 16. The proximity of Rathmines, Rathgar and Ranelagh villages provides a wide choice of great restaurants and local shops with Dunville Avenue and Upper Rathmines Road a few minutes stroll away. Sport clubs nearby include David Lloyd Riverview, Fitzwilliam L.T.C. with Brookfield Tennis Club and Dartry Health Club both within 150 meters of Number 16. A great selection of some of Dublin's best junior and senior schools are nearby including Scoil Bhríde, Líos na N'Óg, Kildare Place, Alexandra College, St Mary's College, Sandford Park and Gonzaga College to name but a few. It is seldom that houses of this calibre and position come to the market Number 16 really affords the discerning buyer a wonderful opportunity to create and enjoy a 'forever family home' in the heart of Dublin 6.
