New to the market, No. 17 Harcourt Terrace is a superbly refurbished and beautifully presented end of terrace Victorian period home offering an impressive BER of B3, ideally located on one of Dublin's most attractive and convenient roads, just off Adelaide Road and only 600 metres walk to St Stephen's Green. Magnificently transformed and extended, by its current owner, both inside and out to the highest specification, it has been skilfully refurbished and upgraded from top to toe. With great sensitivity, flair and imagination, a gracious period home has been refurbished to exacting standards and combines the best of contemporary design and high-quality finish with exceptional attention to detail. The light filled, bright accommodation which perfectly combines period elegance with contemporary design briefly comprises entrance hall, whilst a guest wc is located to the rear of the hall. There is also generous understairs storage. The bay windowed living room to the front is beautifully fitted with bespoke alcove units and a period cast iron fireplace creates a cosy focal point to the room. A family room with attractive timber panelling interconnects to the open plan kitchen / dining room which is a perfect everyday space and opens to the garden. A utility room completes the accommodation at this level. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, two of which are ensuite and the main bedroom also benefits from a walk-in wardrobe. A well-appointed shower room is located off the landing and a staircase leads to the large attic room, ideally suited for a variety of uses. To the front of the property, there is a neat, railed garden with pebbles, box hedging, and an electric pedestrian gate provides excellent security. To the rear, there is a private landscaped garden with box hedging, paved patio area ideal for 'al fresco' dining which is screen by tall pleached trees. There is a block-built garden shed, pedestrian rear access onto a gated lane and on street residential disc parking. Harcourt Terrace is a quiet traffic free cul-de-sac located just off Adelaide Road with every conceivable amenity on its doorstep including Grafton Street, St Stephens Green, The National Concert Hall and the National Gallery. The cities principal places of business are within walking distance including Fitzwilliam Square, Merrion Square, Leeson Street and the I.F.S.C. For those wishing to travel further afield, the LUAS is within a short stroll as is the airport coach on Leeson Street. History: Over the years, Harcourt Terrace attracted artistic sorts including artist Sarah Purser, who resided at number 11 between 1887 and 1909. Here Purser whose work is part of the national collection operated a noted studio that was often visited by the likes of Irish revolutionary Maud Gonne, poet WB Yeats and playwright and republican Edward Martyn. More revolutionary rumblings happened around 1920, when Mary Flannery Woods of Cumann na mBan purchased a safe house for leading figure in the struggle for Irish independence, Michael Collins. There was even a concealed cupboard in the house for ammunition storage back then. Over the past decade there had been a bit of confusion as to whether it was number 17 or 18 Harcourt Terrace that hid “the Big Fella”. This is clarified by James Mackay in the biography, Michael Collins: A Life, in which he confirms that it was number 17 where the country lad who went on to become leader of the Free State hid during the War of Independence
