Description
Located in the heart of Dublin 4, within minutes' walk of Merrion Square, this outstanding family home forms part of an elegant cohesive Georgian terrace, overlooking the tranquil tree-lined banks of the Grand Canal. Bought by the current owner in 2006, number 19 has been fully restored and extended with exceptional attention to detail and finished to the very highest specifications throughout. Whilst every modern convenience has been thought of in this superb renovation the wonderful character of the property has been retained with spectacular original period features throughout.

A particularly special feature of this wonderful home is the rooftop garden, an outstanding facility, private and sheltered, enjoying spectacular views over the Dublin skyline. The gardens to the front and rear have been beautifully landscaped with a private, southerly aspect to the rear and a parking bay behind an electric sliding gate.
The location is superbly convenient within walking distance of the City Centre and a wide range of recreational facilities nearby. Also close by are the Aviva Stadium and the RDS Showgrounds. There is an excellent choice of schools and third level colleges on hand to include St. Conleth's College, St Michael's College, Blackrock College, Muckcross Park, Loreto College St. Stephen's Green, The Institute of Education, UCD and Trinity College. This particular address manages to blend the most desirable residential features with superb proximity to the Central Business District. It affords residents the opportunity to be immersed in some of the city's most atmospheric sporting and entertainment events while still providing a secluded and exclusive residential environment.
