Description
Welcome to No.74 Rathmines Road Upper, an elegantly renovated and extended end of terrace red brick Victorian period residence, boasting immense character, charm and generous proportions. The house benefits from private front and rear gardens and is located only moments' walk away from Rathmines town centre. Built circa. 1860, period homes restored to this level of quality are a rarity and will be of great appeal to those currently living in the area looking to trade up to a spacious family home, or those looking to move to one of Dublin's most vibrant and increasingly popular locations. The current owners purchased the property in 2014 when it was divided into units and they embarked on an extensive renovation project, reinstating this fabulous home to its former glory preserving the integrity of the building while very tastefully striking a balance of modern living with stunning interiors. The significant upgrades included replacing the roof, installing a new gas fired central heating system, installing under floor electric heating to the rear ground floor, repointing of the brickwork, fitting new double-glazed sash windows throughout the house and restoring the original frame in the front bay. Insulation has been added in the walls and roof space, creating a thoroughly modern home within a period structure. The warm and bright accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hallway, fabulous fitted kitchen/breakfast room with bay window, tall double bi-folding doors lead through to the cosy drawing room with feature open fireplace, a guest wc, dining room with wood burning stove, tv room with double doors to the rear garden and a bright study/office which also leads out to the rear garden and courtyard completes the ground floor. Upstairs on the return level is a double bedroom and family shower room. On the first floor are two more double bedrooms, a utility cupboard and a family bathroom with feature exposed brick wall and free standing cast iron bath tub. Stairs lead to a converted attic room measuring 16.9sqm which is currently in use as a fourth bedroom. A traditional railed front garden laid in artificial lawn and granite paving bordered with box hedging and nice gravelled areas for potted plants all enclosed by mature hedging offering a good degree of privacy. To the rear is a generous town-garden with good privacy, granite paving, raised beds and pedestrian access. There is also a small courtyard to the rear accessed off the study/office with granite paving and pedestrian access. Positioned on the quieter end of Rathmines' main thoroughfare this home enjoys almost unparalleled sense of convenience. Ideally positioned within a gentle stroll to Rathmines Town Centre and close to Ranelagh and Rathgar villages, easy access is afforded to all local amenities to include some fine specialty shops, bijou eateries and delicatessens, to name but a few. Some of Dublin's finest junior and senior schools are also nearby. Public transport is well catered for with regular bus services and the Luas at Beechwood, providing ease of access to the city centre and beyond. All in all, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a highly desirable home situated in an extremely convenient and sought-after location.
