Description
Coolraine, 2B Dartry Road is a most elegant 6-bedroomed semi-detached Edwardian family home on 0.2 acres (approx.) of stunning south-facing manicured gardens. Extending to an impressive 294 sq m./ 3,165 sq ft (approx.) of light-filled, gracious accommodation, full of charm and character, this superb house occupies a wonderful position on the corner of Dartry Road and St Kevin’s Park, well-screened by mature trees and shrubs affording great privacy.
Lovingly maintained and a very happy home to the same family since 1996, the interior of this beautiful home is both welcoming and delightful. Rooms of elegant proportions, lend themselves very well to everyday family living – a key criteria for today’s discerning buyer. A spacious hallway leads to two elegant interconnecting reception rooms, both with wonderful period detail, including unique plasterwork ceilings, fine mantelpieces and large bay windows. They are perfect for everyday use and indeed entertaining on a grand scale, whilst equally cosy and inviting when closed off. A living room with access to the rear gardens, kitchen/breakfast room, guest wc, and utility room – also with access to rear patio and gardens - completes the living space downstairs. New owners may wish to open up and reconfigure this space, possibly enlarging it (subject to relevant planning permission), creating a wonderful social space in line with today’s family living, whilst taking advantage of the fantastic south-west orientation. Upstairs there is very spacious bedroom accommodation with 6 bedrooms, 2 family bathrooms, separate wc and store room over two levels.
The appeal of this special home is further enhanced by wonderful wraparound gardens. The gardens really are a noteworthy feature of this house, south-facing and set out in lawns with wide beds well stocked with herbaceous planting and sheltered by mature trees. Double entrance gates provide access to the rear of the garden with secure parking and with a versatile large garage/garden store.
The property is just 2 miles approx. from St. Stephen’s Green, in a location second to none with Rathmines, Rathgar and Ranelagh on its doorstep and within a short walk of the Dodder Linear Park and Palmerston Park. The Luas stop at Milltown is also a short walk away. The locality has an abundance of shops & restaurants with excellent quality food stores on Upper Rathmines Road and Dunville Avenue as well as those in the nearby villages. Some of Dublin’s best schools and colleges are nearby including Sandford National, Sandford Park, The High School, Muckross College, Alexandra College, Gonzaga College, Kildare Place, with UCD and Trinity College within easy reach. Sports clubs nearby include Milltown Golf Club and David Lloyd Riverview, Brookfield Tennis Club and Dartry Health Club. The nearby parks are truly wonderful additional amenities for walkers, runners and nature lovers.
This is a truly charming, handsome Edwardian home with a great balance of elegant living space not to mention fantastic bedroom space, sitting on much-cherished, coveted gardens, offering the most discerning of buyers wonderful potential to create a dream home (subject to planning permission), in this much sought-after, convenient location with community and neighbourhood at its very core.

Gardens A truly noteworthy feature of this special home is the beautiful gardens – a joy to behold for any keen gardeners and green fingers alike. Well set back from the road, ‘Coolraine’ occupies a wonderful corner site at the junction of Dartry Road and St Kevin’s Park. Approached via a wrought iron pedestrian gate from Dartry Road, a riot of colour from the seasonal flowers and shrubs greets you once inside, whilst the mature trees, shrubs and flowering plants provide great screening from the road as they border this walled garden. A neatly manicured lawn leads you to a gate at the side of the property, taking you into the sizeable side and rear gardens. These gardens, like the front, have been lovingly tended to and feature a greenhouse, large lawn bordered by well-stocked, cleverly planted borders featuring a Japanese Acer, Camellia, Clematis, Digitalis, Fuchsia, Dahlia, Hydrangeas, Phlox, Lilies and a range of summer bedding and seasonal bulbs. Enjoying a highly coveted southerly orientation, not only are the gardens bathed in wonderful sunlight, so too is the house itself. Electric vehicular gates at the base of the garden, with access from St Kevin’s Park provide for secure off-street parking, adjacent a garage and several sheds. There is separate gated pedestrian access from St Kevin’s Park too. Patio areas have been cleverly positioned to capture the sun and communicate with the house, making this garden a fantastic space for entertaining and recreation in equal measure.
