A magnificent Edwardian family home superbly positioned on one of Dublin's most prestigious roads. 61 Ailesbury Road exemplifies the grandeur and architectural characteristics of one of Dublin's most sought-after addresses. Behind a most attractive facade, the property extends to approximately 508sq.m (5,468 sq. ft) and comprises a wonderful combination of period elegance and contemporary accommodation laid out over four levels.
On entering the property, one immediately notices the remarkable finish throughout this home with every modern convenience in place aswell as a beautifully curated interior. Positioned off the opulent entrance hallway there are three very fine interconnecting reception rooms. Located to the front of the property is a very fine drawing room with bay window which in turn leads through to the feature oval shaped sitting room which follows through to a dining room to the rear. All three reception rooms have beautiful fireplaces and features synonymous with the era of construction.
Across the rear of the property there is an exceptional double height kitchen/ family space with stunning bespoke kitchen and four sets of attractive French doors leading out to an extensive raised terrace overlooking the garden. This is a wonderful room and is very much the heart of this warm family home which caters equally well for entertaining on a grand scale or comfortable day to day family use. This room is flooded in natural light from the south facing garden beyond.
An attractive staircase leads from the reception hall to the basement level where there is excellent spacious accommodation to include a gym with a feature wall which can be cleverly removed allowing it to open through to a family room with doors out to the garden.
At this level there is also a home office, utility room and a guest bedroom as well as a shower room.
A magnificent staircase leads from the reception hall to the first floor. The bedrooms are laid out over the next two levels and all are exceptionally generous. The primary suite includes a walk in dressing room and wonderfully appointed bathroom. The remaining five bedrooms are all double rooms and three of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. One also has an attractive balcony overlooking the front garden. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the accommodation and is located on the second floor.
A particular feature of this residence is the south facing garden extending to approx. 110m. This is a magnificent and exceptionally private space which is divided into three sections - a beautiful raised terrace / dining area accessed via the kitchen which leads down to a verdant manicured lawned garden surrounded by a stone paved border and this in turn leads through to a tennis court to the rear.
The garden is beautifully planted with a selection of trees and hedging. To the front of this stunning residence is a spacious gravelled driveway accessed via electronic gates with ample parking and attractive box hedging.
This residence has been exceptionally well presented to and the quality of workmanship is evident throughout. The interior design is simply exquisite and lovingly curated resulting in a home with a true feeling of warmth and comfort.
The property has been remodelled and extended and now offers the opportunity to literally move in and enjoy not only unique and luxurious accommodation but an enviable south facing garden.
Ailesbury Road is a wonderful mature tree lined road in the heart of Dublin 4, about 4km south of St. Stephen's Green and Dublin City Centre. This is a location of enviable convenience adjacent to vibrant Ballsbridge home of The RDS and The Aviva Stadium.
