Description
Dunmore is a gracious Victorian property of enormous style and character sitting behind original wrought iron railings amid exquisite landscaped private gardens on one of Dublin's most admired and sought-after residential roads.
Located close to the meeting of Temple Gardens and Palmerston Road, Dunmore is within a stone's throw of the LUAS at Cowper. Extending to 336sq.m / 3617sq.ft. this light filled spacious home has an elegant, charming interior superbly maintained and tastefully extended and modernised by its current owners. Laid out mainly over 2 levels with a 3-storey return, it combines all the convenience of modern living with the wonderful period details of a bygone era.
The interior is a showcase for the excellence of high-end Victorian architecture. Solidly built and cleverly laid out, this home is rich in period detail, such as original sash windows, ornate marble and cast-iron fireplaces and 12ft high ceilings. The gracious reception rooms provide the perfect setting for both formal entertaining and comfortable family living with an inviting kitchen/breakfast room and living room at the heart of the house. The superb garden room wonderfully links house and garden. All this is balanced by 5 bedrooms and generous bathroom facilities above.
The gardens are very special - the cleverly designed rear garden is walled with a large lawn and patio with wide borders of mature shrubs, trees and seasonal flowers affording great privacy. The front, accessed via electric gates, is landscaped with a large gravel driveway providing off street parking for numerous cars.
Description of this fine home would not be complete without mention of its superb, sought-after location. It is within walking distance of extensive local amenities including Palmerston Park, two Luas stops at Cowper and Milltown affording swift access to St. Stephen's Green, Dundrum and beyond in both directions. The proximity of Rathmines, Rathgar and Ranelagh villages provides a wide choice of great restaurants and local shops with Dunville Avenue and Upper Rathmines Road a few minutes stroll 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.
It is seldom that houses of this calibre and position come to the market Dunmore really affords the discerning buyer a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a 'forever family home' in the heart of Dublin 6. Accommodation
