79 Wellington Road
Ballsbridge
Dublin 4
D04 X6C7
Description
It is without question one of Dublin 4’s most sought-after addresses, being so close to the city centre and a range of local amenities and public transport links. Wellington Road is within walking distance of some of Dublin's finest junior and secondary schools, while third level institutions – including UCD Belfield, TCD and TU Dublin - are on local bus routes.
Recently featured in BBC’s award-winning series - Normal People - as ‘Marianne’s boho Dublin flat’, this fine period home retains its pure Georgian interior. A wonderful sense of elegance and symmetry prevails throughout, with large sash windows and reception rooms of gracious proportions enjoying a great quality of natural light throughout. Many period features remain, including ornate cornicing, sash windows with working shutters and period fireplaces have cast-iron insets.
The house benefits from an impressive 100ft approx. front garden, with generous off-street car parking and an EV charging point. It also has a large walled and private westerly rear garden, laid out mainly in lawn, with a pond, and a selection of mature plants, trees and shrubs. A paved terrace off the hall floor return is ideal for al fresco dining and looks over the garden. There is further scope for extending the already generous accommodation, should one wish.
Wellington Road is undoubtedly one of Dublin’s most coveted and convenient residential roads within walking distance of St. Stephen's Green and many of Dublin's principal places of business, including Silicon Dock at Grand Canal Dock. Suburban rail and the Luas tram lines are within walking distance, as is Herbert Park, providing recreational amenities, including a café, tennis, bowling and walks around its 34 acres. Excellent local shopping and restaurants at both Ballsbridge, Donnybrook and Ranelagh are all within a short stroll, as is the RDS, Leinster Rugby HQ and the AVIVA Stadium. The property also benefits from being within 20 minutes’ drive of the airport, via the Port Tunnel.
