Description
43 Palmerston Road is a gracious Victorian property of enormous style and character on one of Dublin's most admired and sought-after residential roads.
Located close to the meeting of Cowper Road and Palmerston Road, number 43 is within a stone's throw of the LUAS at Cowper Road. Extending to 289sq.m / 3111 sq.ft. approx., this light filled spacious home has an elegant, charming interior and has been tastefully modernised and refurbished in recent years. Rooms of elegant proportions with original period detail including fine mantelpieces, ornate ceiling plasterwork and sash windows, are enhanced by a 'classic' contemporary decorative style thereby combining the needs of modern living with wonderful period details of a bygone era. An added bonus of this property is the very sizeable garden, which is approx. 120ft long and has very valuable vehicular access to and from the rear laneway.
A flight of granite steps leads to an elegant hallway. Two beautifully proportioned interconnecting reception rooms are ideal for entertaining and family living. A guest w.c. is also positioned on this floor. Upstairs there are three generous double bedrooms and a wonderfully luxurious family bathroom. At garden level, a contemporary kitchen/dining room opens into a spacious family room and also to the large rear garden. A 4th double bedroom and a shower room complete the accommodation at this level.
The rear garden is set in lawn bordered with mature shrubs and trees affording great privacy and space for every family activity, two patios, and a gravelled parking area with double electric gates to the rear laneway.
The location is terrific. As well as its proximity to the Luas, it is within walking distance of the extensive range of local amenities. Rathmines, Rathgar and Ranelagh villages provide a wide choice of great restaurants and local shops with Dunville Avenue and Upper Rathmines Road a few minutes' walk away. Sport clubs nearby include David Lloyd Riverview, Fitzwilliam L.T.C., Brookfield Tennis Club and Dartry Health Club. A great selection of some of Dublin's best junior and senior schools are nearby including Scoil Bhríde, Kildare Place, Alexandra College, St Mary's College, Sandford Park and Gonzaga College to name but a few.
This is undoubtedly a special family home with a classical contemporary interior, high quality finish and fantastic mature gardens with every conceivable amenity on its doorstep - ideal for those looking for a substantial period home in Dublin 6. Accommodation
