Property Description

188 Rathmines Road Upper is a very attractive 5 bedroom late Victorian period residence, which has been a much loved family home for over 30 years. The property now presents with extended kitchen and a versatile interior, which showcases many of the original features, all of which is further complemented by a private sunny rear garden with vehicular access to a garage off Cowper Road.

Nicely set back from the road and approached via a formal landscaped garden with the original granite wall and wrought iron railings and an abundance of greenery, it is hard not to be impressed by the handsome façade of this terraced red brick home. Once inside, you will be equally taken with its light-filled, well-appointed interior, which retains many original features to include cornicing, marble fireplaces and 10ft high ceilings downstairs. Meticulously maintained by its current owner, the neutral palette of this stylish home serves as a wonderful backdrop to highlight the many beautiful features.

The well laid out accommodation comprises welcoming entrance hallway with guest w.c., gracious interconnecting drawing and dining rooms, cosy family room with sliding doors to the garden which flows into the extended light-filled kitchen complete with French doors to the sun-trap rear patio and garden. On the first floor there is a versatile lounge to the rear, 2 large double bedrooms and a family bathroom with the main bedroom boasting a bay window and linking with the dressing room. On the second floor there are a further three double bedrooms, a bathroom and the much needed home office.

Description of this stunning home would not be complete without mention of the landscaped rear garden, which really enhances the property given its sunny aspect, use and aesthetic appeal. Mostly laid in lawn with flowerbeds and mature planting, the long summer evenings can be enjoyed from two well positioned sandstone patio areas that make the most of the sun, ideal for dining al fresco. The garage links the garden to Cowper road and provides valuable off-street parking and additional storage space.

Superbly located with local shopping a two-minute stroll away on Rathmines Road Upper to include The Grocer on the Green, Fresh and Wild, O’Brien’s Wine shop, Tesco Express, Fothergill’s, Lawlors’ Butchers and Connolly’s fish shop – both of which people travel to from far and wide. The walkways and floral displays of Palmerston Park are a few minutes away as is Brookfield Tennis Club and Dartry Health Club. Rathgar village and Rathmines town centre are equal distance away, whilst the LUAS at Cowper Road is a 7/8 minute walk away.

188 Rathmines Road Upper offers the complete package to the discerning buyer – location, aspect, size and condition – viewing is highly recommended.
