This handsome Victorian family home is superbly positioned on one of the most prestigious and sought-after roads in Dublin 6, being within a stone’s throw of both Rathmines and Rathgar villages. A happy home to the current owners, this gracious period property presents in walk-in condition and offers elegant, light-filled accommodation using only the finest quality of materials throughout. The result is the creation of a truly spectacular family home, which provides a wealth of home comforts on this popular road.
A flight of gracious granite steps leads to this elegant red brick two-storey over basement home to the hall door complete with fan light and ornate plasterwork surround. Inside, original fine adorning period features and elegant rooms of generous proportions combined with all the conveniences of modern living to create a really superb family-friendly home. No. 46 features two stunning interconnecting reception rooms at hall level, a guest wc and a kitchen with dining area. At garden level, you will find a pantry, guest wc, family room leading to a sizeable conservatory with double doors leading to the rear garden, a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom and a wine cellar under the entrance staircase. Rising upstairs, there is a family bathroom and double bedroom on the return and two further double bedrooms on the first floor. Another bathroom on the second story return completes the accommodation. The versaitle accomodation lends itself to the option to easily adapt the garden level to a separate, self-contained apartment.
The private, southeast facing rear garden is landscaped in paving and gravel bordered by mature shrubs and specimen plants making it an ideal space for ‘al fresco’ dining. A large garage with mechanical roller shutters (currently in use as a home gym) is located at the base of the garden and provides parking for 2 cars comfortably in addition to great storage. There is access from here to an established mews laneway – Spireview Lane, accessed off Rathgar Road. This provides for obvious mews potential (subject to planning permission).
To the front, a railed garden with granite pathway and pebbled area with mature trees and shrubs offers a nice degree of privacy and seclusion from the street.
The location is second to none in terms of convenience, nestled between the villages of Rathgar and Rathmines, with every amenity on your doorstep to include excellent local shopping with a choice of fine restaurants. A large number of local junior and senior schools and Ashbrook Lawn Tennis Club are within an easy walk. The city centre and many of Dublin's principal places of business are within easy commuting distance.
All in all, this is undoubtedly a genuinely special, truly stylish and unique family home situated in a highly desirable location.

Rathmines is a vibrant suburb on the southside of Dublin, about 3 kilometres south of the city centre. It effectively begins at the south side of the Grand Canal and stretches along the Rathmines Road as far as Rathgar to the south, Ranelagh to the east and Harold's Cross to the west. Rathmines has thriving commercial and civil activity and is well-known across Ireland as part of a traditionally known "flatland" - providing rented accommodation to newly arrived junior civil servants and third level students coming from outside the city since the 1930s.
