Description
Presenting a wonderful opportunity to purchase this handsome part red brick/pebble dash 4-bedroom semi-detached home with attic conversion, integral garage and invaluable off-street parking. Enjoying a nice position on this sought-after one-way residential street, which connects Belgrave Road and Castlewood Avenue, the location could not be more convenient with the myriad of social and essential amenities of Rathmines quite literally on your doorstep.
Number 5 was built circa 1940 and has been in the same ownership for almost 40 years. Lovingly maintained, this property has been an incredibly happy and lucky home to its current owners, having now served two generations of their family. Discerning new owners will delight in the many wonderful features of this versatile home – from high ceilings both down- and upstairs to the light-filled accommodation throughout offering rooms of generous proportions, including 3 reception rooms, a bright and airy kitchen/dining room, 4 bedrooms, family bathroom, shower room, clever attic conversion and an integral garage. The front garden provides secure off-street parking, easily catering for electric vehicles where needed, whilst the rear garden is incredibly private and mature with well-stocked borders and is a lovely spot for outdoor dining and relaxing.
Discerning purchasers will also appreciate the fantastic convenience and lifestyle afforded by this superb address. Wonderfully located in the heart of Rathmines with community at its core. It is little wonder how truly sought after this neighbourhood is, given its proximity to the city centre, excellent local junior and senior schools, fantastic local shopping, parks – Belgrave Square and Palmerston Park; sports and leisure clubs – Swan Leisure, Leinster Cricket and Tennis club, Dartry Health Club, Brookfield Tennis Club etc., not to mention its thriving restaurant scene, coffee houses, boutiques, speciality stores and diverse business community. Ranelagh, Rathgar and Portobello are all close by and easily accessible by foot, as is the Beechwood Luas stop for travels further afield, making the car a luxury not a necessity.
One of only six houses of its type, built on part of the original grounds of Drayton House on Cambridge Road, this really is a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire and establish a great home in a great location.
Viewing is highly recommended.

About the Area
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.
