Description
26 Kenilworth Square North is a tastefully extended, classical 3-bedroom Victorian home of immense character with a contemporary style throughout. Located on the northern side of this popular square, no.26 is noted as the last house on this side of the square before Waverly Terrace near Harold's Cross Road. The inviting manicured traditional railed garden to the front frames the entrance to this home perfectly.
Beyond the handsome red-brick façade lies a charming home with a wonderful balance of reception rooms and bedrooms. A warm, welcoming entrance hall leads to a pair of elegant interconnecting reception rooms of equal proportions. The drawing room is filled with natural light from the twin sash windows that provide a wonderful view over the front garden, while the dining room has direct access to the rear garden through a set of French doors. The modern, bright kitchen and breakfast room are positioned to the rear with a large, fully glazed 'box bay window extension' providing an excellent link to the rear garden. The kitchen also benefits from a sunny west facing aspect. A guest wc is neatly positioned under the stairs, alongside additional storage.
Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The truly grand main bedroom, originally the drawing room, is positioned to the front and spans the full width of this home with a stunning ceiling height of approx. 3.6m (11'9”) and features a marble fireplace and gas fire. The second bedroom is positioned to the rear over-looking the rear patio and garden, while the third bedroom is situated on the return also over-looking the rear garden. The spacious family bathroom completes the accommodation.
Outside, the front garden has been beautifully landscaped, laid in lawn and is bordered by mature shrubbery, completed with a neat timber housing unit for the bins. The rear garden benefits from a sunny, westerly aspect and is bordered by attractive granite walls, mature trees and shrubbery, a raised lawn and an excellent patio that is ideal for 'al fresco' dining. A practical block-built garden shed offers additional storage and houses the energy efficient gas boiler.
Finally, the location is so convenient with most social and essential amenities within a gentle stroll from the doorstep including Rathmines, Rathgar and Terenure. The Grafton Street area and St Stephen's Green are approx. 3km from the house, while some of Dublin's best schools, sports clubs, wonderful restaurants and shops are in the immediate vicinity.
