Property Description

DNG is very pleased to introduce 173 Rathmines Road Upper, formerly 3 Fitzwilliam Terrace, to the open market - a charming and attractive Edwardian four-bedroom period property with a lovely private sunny west facing rear garden. Superbly located on Rathmines Road Upper, one of Dublin 6's most sought-after residential roads.

Beyond the distinctive red brick façade lies a warm and inviting home, which has been lovingly maintained and upgraded over the years and a happy home for over 50 years to the current owners. High ceilings, generous room proportions, elegant reception rooms and well-proportioned bedrooms are further complemented by the private and sunny west facing garden with vehicular access. Built in c. 1905, the bay windows to the front of this handsome family home flood the reception rooms with natural light, perfect for entertaining yet cosy for everyday living. A wonderful breakfast room leads through to the kitchen, with a utility room and guest wc off. Upstairs there is a spacious landing with four well-proportioned bedrooms, a sunroom and two bathrooms.

Internally the property offers two storeys to the front and a three-storey rear return. Externally there are well maintained low maintenance gardens front and back with a very secluded and private back garden, which has a sunny west facing orientation (55ft. approx. including the garage). Ample and appropriate storage is available in the outhouse and a large garage offers off-street parking.

This is a prime residential location within walking distance and convenient to the numerous shops, cafes, bars and restaurants that both Rathgar and Rathmines villages has to offer. A wide selection of direct bus routes provides access to and from the City Centre and Cowper Luas stop is within walking distance.
There is an excellent choice of local schools nearby such as Kildare Place NS, Gonzaga College, The High School, St Marys College, Alexandra College, to mention but a few.

There is a wide choice of recreational facilities literally around the corner, Brookfield Tennis Club, Dartry Health Club and Palmerston Park, Milltown Golf Club and Dodder Park with beautiful walks and by the river.
