Property Description

A handsome two-storey over garden level Victorian residence, beautifully curated and interior designed, situated on the southwest side of Leeson Park, one of Dublin’s premier residential avenues, within walking distance of the capital’s retail, entertainment and business centres.

Leeson Park is a wide, tree-lined avenue south of the Grand Canal, developed in the mid-1800s with gracious red-brick homes. No. 26 is approximately 25 minutes’ walk from Grafton Street, 17 minutes from St Stephen’s Green and the National Concert Hall, and close to Trinity College and Grand Canal Square. The vibrant village of Ranelagh, with its shops, restaurants and LUAS, is just 10 minutes away. The area is well served by schools and public transport, with Dublin Airport circa 25 minutes by car.
No. 26 is a stylish semi-detached residence dating from c.1850, retaining elegant Victorian features including generous reception rooms, ornate plasterwork and fine fireplaces. The house has been refurbished to exacting standards under the guidance of Hilda Cullivan of Henry J Lyons, creating a seamless blend of period charm and modern family living.

A gravelled forecourt with wrought iron gates leads to granite steps and an ornate entrance. The light-filled hall, with decorative cornicing and ceiling roses, sets a welcoming tone. To the right, the formal dining room features a marble fireplace and polished pitch pine floors, which extend through double doors to the drawing room overlooking the south-west facing rear garden.

To the left is a guest cloakroom. At return level, a double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite is located to the rear. Upstairs, there are four further double bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite to the rear with garden views, and two bedrooms to the front.

At garden level, a spacious hall leads to a comfortable sitting room and adjoining family room, both with open fireplaces. These rooms connect to a bespoke English-style kitchen and dining area, opening into a bright sun lounge with French doors to the landscaped rear garden.

The kitchen is fitted with Gaggenau appliances, a six-plate gas AGA, marble worktops, extensive cabinetry and a large island. The dining area accommodates eight and benefits from excellent natural light via a skylight and sun lounge. A utility room, guest cloakroom, comms room, storage and side access complete this level.

The interiors are thoughtfully designed with soft pastel tones and subtle patterns, creating an elegant and understated family home of exceptional quality.
