Description
378 Harold's Cross Road a wonderful fusion of exquisite period features, light, space, style and an exemplary contemporary finish achieved through great clarity of vision, attention to detail, painstaking time, skill and effort. 378 Harold's Cross Road is unquestionably one of the most exciting properties to come to the market this year. A most distinctive and singularly attractive 4 bedroom Victorian residence, dating from the 1870's, it stands proud and handsome on sought-after Harold's Cross Road, only a few minutes from Terenure. Combining a striking collaboration of magnificent period features and detailing with a complementary yet distinctive contemporary specification and finish, this beautiful home is sure to impress and captivate. The tastefully and cleverly extended accommodation, which is arranged over three levels, now totals an impressive 2,852sq.ft. / 265sq.m. approx. It offers the perfect balance of generous living and sleeping accommodation enhanced by thoughtfully designed and landscaped gardens, front and rear. This superb property has been the subject of a meticulous, comprehensive and sensitive restoration and renovation under the stewardship and expertise of both the owners and their architects, Kelliher Miller. The refurbishment took the building back to the core and the result is in effect a brand new family-centric property resplendent in period detailing (most of which is original, some salvaged) and contemporary fit-out with a Victorian façade, through use of only the best materials and 21st century craftsmanship. The light-filled, well-conceived and well-appointed accommodation flows incredibly well. Distinctive clean lines are evident through use of the same natural materials throughout European pale oak, glass, marble tiling, traditional timber floorboards to name but a few - in addition to a neutral colour palette all providing for a wonderful symmetry. Approached by a gentle flight of granite steps, the entrance hallway offers a sneak preview of the splendour and grandeur to come. The contemporary elements are evident here and although distinct in their own right, complement the superb period detailing. A gracious drawing room and interconnecting second reception/dining room both showcase the 12ft ceiling heights, large picture windows, handsome fireplaces and timber floorboards. A convenient office area and a generous family bathroom completes the accommodation at this level. At first floor there are no less than 3 double bedrooms, the master of which is particularly special, full width of the house and all the elements of old and new combining. A tasteful family bathroom and bright landing are also found on this floor. The garden level is a real 'WOW'. This is without doubt the heart of this home where practical day-to-day family life comes together. An ultra-modern kitchen/dining/family room is bathed in natural light via a roof light and the room takes in pleasing views of the landscaped gardens. A cosy lounge area basks in the glow of a nicely integrated solid fuel burning stove whilst double doors lead to the west facing granite patio area, ideal for al fresco dining. Bedroom 4 is located to the front and there is a nicely tiled shower room, a utility room and store room providing fantastic additional storage space. Description of this exciting home would not be complete without mention of the gardens. Both formal and contemporary in equal measure, the front offers generous off-street parking for multiple cars with neat planted areas bordered by box hedging, shrubs and specimen trees. The private rear garden is accessed via a flight of granite steps and is mostly lawned with raised flowerbed borders, specimen trees and flowering shrubs, screened by cut stone walls. A second paved granite patio is located at the back of the garden and there is access to the St. Pancras development via a pedestrian gate. Conveniently situated on this popular residential road, the location of this property is superb being within close proximity to Terenure, Harold's, Rathgar and Rathmines village with the city centre only 3km away. All social and essential amenities are on your doorstep. Presented in turn-key condition and offering a wealth of truly impressive accommodation distinctive between old and new, No.378 awaits its new owners.
