Description
A most impressive two-storey over garden level Italianate Victorian red-brick residence, meticulously restored and modernised while retaining its elegant period character. Set on one of Dublin 6's most prestigious addresses, this truly beautiful 4-bedroom semi-detached home with 82 ft (approx.) south-facing garden, offers a unique and refined blend of grandeur, comfort, luxury and contemporary specification, coming to the market in turnkey condition.
Purchased in 2015 by the current owners, Number 9 has undergone a comprehensive and sympathetic refurbishment and modernisation project, which included reroofing, rewiring, replumbing, insulation upgrades and a full aesthetic and cosmetic overhaul. The result is superb and a true testament to the great attention to detail invested.
Approached through original red-brick pillars and wrought-iron double gates, a gravelled driveway provides secure off-street parking. Granite steps lead to the welcoming entrance porch with Romanesque-style column and fanlight, opening into a hall that showcases high ceilings, terrazzo flooring, ornate ceiling coving and centre rose.
At entrance level, two interconnecting reception rooms display the finest Victorian detailing — twin sash windows, marble fireplaces, original shutters and polished timber floors — with both rooms overlooking the garden. A versatile return-level room serves as a fourth bedroom or home office, complete with fireplace, built-in shelving and plumbing for an ensuite (previously approved).
On the garden level, a gracious dining room with dual aspect opens to a temperature-controlled wine cellar. The bespoke Noel Dempsey kitchen is at the heart of this stylish home and features a large centre island, Belfast sink, Smeg seven-ring gas range and extensive storage. It connects effortlessly to the bright family room with wood-burning stove, large roof light and access to the private south-facing garden. This floor, complete with underfloor heating, is perfect for day-to-day living and entertaining. Also included at this level is a large utility room/home gym, guest cloakroom and additional storage.
Upstairs, the first-floor return offers a light-filled double bedroom and main bathroom with walk-in shower, separate bath and Velux window. The principal suite on the first floor is a highlight: an elegant bedroom with marble fireplace, ceiling coving and arched sash window. It leads into a bespoke walk-in dressing room and luxury ensuite with large shower. A further double bedroom and large hot press/shelved linen cupboard complete this level.
The delightful south-facing garden extends to 82 feet (approx.) and features a wonderful range of mature planting, which creates a private and tranquil retreat to be enjoyed all year around.
Winton Road is a quiet, tree-lined street just moments from Ranelagh Village and within walking distance of Ballsbridge, Donnybrook, Herbert Park, the city centre and the RDS. Schools such as Gonzaga College, Sandford Park, St Michael's, St Mary's, Loreto College, and St Conleth's are all nearby, with UCD and Trinity College both easily accessible. Ranelagh Luas station is a 10-minute stroll.
This outstanding turnkey home combines timeless period elegance with modern comforts and convenience in one of Dublin's most desirable neighbourhoods. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that 9 Winton Road has to offer. Accommodation
