Description
Sherry FitzGerald is delighted to present to the market No. 34 Leeson Park Avenue. This stunning Victorian three storey over garden level home, dating back to circa. 1860, is perfectly positioned in this quiet cul de sac off Appian Way.
Lovingly maintained and resided in by the current family since 1990, extending to approx. 310sqm/3,337sqft of light filled accommodation boasting an abundance of wonderful original period detail, the Victorian elegance is particularly evident in the hallway and grand interconnecting receptions room with attractive bay window.
At hall floor, there are two well-proportioned reception rooms with high ceilings and original matching feature fireplaces. After an extension in 1890, the former music room now houses the large kitchen dining room overlooking the pretty, tranquil, courtyard garden. A convenient utility and guest wc are located off the inner lobby.
On the first and second floor levels, there are 4 large double bedrooms with the principal bedroom spanning the width of the house and a second equally spacious double room enjoys an ensuite. A family bathroom completes the accommodation upstairs.
At garden level, accessed from an entrance off the front garden, there is a self-contained garden apartment with an open plan living dining room, galley kitchen and utility area. A good sized double bedroomed overlooks the internal courtyard. A family bathroom services this floor. This would be an ideal rental opportunity or indeed perfect for those working from home with separate entrance for visiting clients.
To the rear lies a wonderfully maintained private garden, laid in patio with planting beds, mature trees and bordered by an original granite wall.
A most discreet and unique hatch door and steps leads from the garden to basement and onto the internal courtyard. This fine, statement home at the beginning of this attractive terrace is only a moment's stroll of both Leeson Street and Ranelagh Village with all its wonderful shops, restaurants and coffee shops and within walking distance of St Stephen's Green. A five minute walk to the Luas at Ranelagh offers ease of access to the city centre, Sandyford and beyond.
For those with a family, the area boasts one of South Dublin's best choice of junior and secondary schools. These include Scoil Bhride, Sandford Park, Gonzaga College, St Mary's College and Muckross Park. The 46a bus route is also perfect for access to both UCD and Trinity College & the No.11 will bring you all the way to DCU. The aircoach and the 145 bus to Hueston Station are also available from Leeson Street. There are numerous leisure facilities within easy access namely Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis club, canal walks and local parks. Accommodation
