DNG are delighted to present 48 Northumberland Road, an exceptional family home in one of Dublin's most prestigious neighbourhoods. Nestled on the tree-lined elegance of Northumberland Road, this magnificent Victorian red brick home presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Dublin's architectural heritage in one of its most desirable postcodes—Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.

Lovingly maintained and in beautiful condition throughout, this residence offers both grandeur and warmth, making it ideal for families or discerning buyers seeking space, style, and a prime location.
