Lismara at 67 Highfield Road is a truly elegant semi-detached red brick Edwardian family home positioned on one of Dublin 6’s most attractive residential roads. Influenced by the Arts & Crafts movement and built by John Alexander Stringer -1910 and extending to 233 sqm / 2,508sqft plus an additional 49sqm in the attic room, this truly impressive double fronted house set on approx. 0.2 acres of superb, private gardens to the front and rear.

Behind the red brick façade lies a stunning home boasting the perfect balance of gracious living and bedroom accommodation. Lismara is awash with Edwardian period features such as original fireplaces, stained glass in windows and doors and high ceilings, to name but a few.

The house flows beautifully and the accommodation comprises at ground floor; elegant and wide entrance hall, two well-proportioned and interconnecting reception rooms that open out to the mature gardens, family room, kitchen/breakfast room, guest wc and access to the enclosed side passageway that leads to the wonderful rear garden. Upstairs there are five double bedrooms, a large family bathroom and access to the attic space (measuring approx 49sqm). There is also plenty of potential to further extend the existing property should your needs require (subject to P.P).

The gardens, both front and rear, are a wonderful feature. To the front, with railings on granite plinths and set behind both vehicular and pedestrian electric gates providing off-street parking.

The private walled rear garden is a joy to behold, being laid mainly in lawn and wide well stocked borders and benefitting from a large patio area, providing a private and tranquil space. At the bottom of this large garden is a versatile garage space, that whilst is in need of some refurbishment, does provide mews/gym/home-office potential, subject to all relevant planning permission, as it benefits from vehicular rear access. Both front and rear gardens are bordered by mature trees, shrubs and flowers.

Well set back on this much sought after road, the property is just 2.5 miles from St. Stephen's Green, in a location second to none with Rathgar, Ranelagh, Rathmines, and Dartry all on its doorstep, and within a stroll of local shopping at the village of Rathgar, Upper Rathmines Road and Dunville Avenue, with Ranelagh and Rathmines giving an excellent a choice of shops and restaurants. Some of Dublin's best primary and secondary schools are nearby, as are the Luas stops at Cowper Road and Milltown providing swift access to St. Stephen's Green, Dundrum, and Sandyford with nearby buses to UCD and Trinity colleges. Sports clubs nearby include Milltown and Castle Golf Clubs, Brookfield and Rathgar Tennis Clubs, Dartry Health & Fitness Club and David Lloyd Riverview - not to mention the close proximity to Palmerston Park and Dodder River Park.
