Description

Mullery O’Gara are proud to present this exceptionally charming and unique home, brimming with character, in a superb location overlooking Fairfield Park with Rathgar village on its doorstep. Tucked away behind a wealth of mature greenery yet perfectly positioned in the heart of Rathgar Village, this exceptional red brick Victorian home offers a rare combination of privacy, character and convenience. Overlooking the charming Fairfield Park, a beautifully maintained, tree-lined green space surrounded by elegant 1880s homes, the property enjoys a tranquil setting while being just steps from the vibrant amenities of the village. Fairfield Lodge is a quintessential example of late 19th-century architecture, the home exudes elegance, craftsmanship and enduring charm. Set back from the street with a small railed garden to the front, the façade is instantly recognisable by its handsome red brickwork, tall sash windows and decorative granite lintels. Inside, high ceilings, original period features and a thoughtful layout create an atmosphere of light, space and timeless character. Rich in charm and individuality, the home offers a unique sense of grandeur combined with quirky and inviting details. Generous reception rooms, wide hallways with original tiled floors, original timber finishes and elegant joinery provide history, comfort and style. The most elegant accommodation extends over three floors. On the ground floor, a welcoming hall leads to a bright living room featuring a dual-aspect window facing towards Fairfield Park that floods the space with natural light. The kitchen flows via steps into a dining and cosy sitting area, creating a wonderful open-plan space perfect for entertaining. Beautiful double doors lead directly out to the garden, enhancing the indoor-outdoor connection. A practical boot room/utility with garden access and a convenient WC complete the ground floor. On the first floor, two exceptionally spacious bedrooms exude grandeur, with high ceilings and large, elegant windows. Both bedrooms benefit from en suite bathrooms, while a walk-in wardrobe adds additional storage space on this floor. The top floor comprises two versatile attic rooms and a bathroom, offering further flexible living or guest accommodation. With its generous proportions and timeless character, the property provides a blank canvas for its next owner to put their own stamp on it. To the side, a mature garden with drive in offers privacy and tranquility, completing this distinguished family home. Rathgar Village itself provides a welcoming community atmosphere with boutique shops, cafés, restaurants and essential services all within walking distance. The area is renowned for its leafy streets, period architecture, excellent schools, parks and sporting facilities, making it especially appealing to families looking for a mature neighbourhood with the city within minutes. The village enjoys a vibrant café and social scene with numerous annual events throughout the year inc. Rathgar Bloomsday Festival, Rathgar Horticultural Society Flower Show, Festival of Christmas Carols, Children’s Book Festival and it also enjoys the benefits of being close to Dodder Valley Park - a scenic green space following the course of the River Dodder, offering a tranquil retreat from the bustle of city life. The park features riverside walks, mature trees and open grass areas, providing ideal opportunities for walking, jogging, cycling etc. Its natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere make it a favourite for local residents seeking outdoor recreation. Fairfield Park is both a charming private green space and the name of the surrounding Victorian-era street of homes in the heart of Rathgar, Dublin. Dating from the 1880s, the park and its elegant houses reflect the late 19th-century transformation of Rathgar from a rural landscape into one of Dublin’s most desirable residential addresses. The park itself is a small, tree-lined rectangle of lawn enclosed by traditional railings, reminiscent of the private squares found throughout the area.
