Description
Sherry FitzGerald are delighted to present 55 Rathdown Road, an attractive bay-windowed, redbrick period residence positioned on a quiet and most sought-after road in Phibsborough.
The current owners have cleverly extended (measuring 130 sq.m inclusive of the attic) and upgraded this fine property to create a genuinely special home that is wonderfully practical with a classical and contemporary feel throughout. It offers bright, well-proportioned rooms with many original features including coving, fireplaces, doors, stained glass front door and original wood flooring still in place. The east facing rear garden has been landscaped and boasts a low maintenance artificial grass area and planted with a variety of mature trees and shrubs including Japanese acers, it is an ideal space to enjoy ‘Al Fresco’ dining or to entertain guests on summer evenings. A sizeable garage accessed by a secure and private rear laneway further adds to the appeal of this superb property.
The accommodation comprises a large hallway with neatly designed understairs storage, utility and a separate w.c. The living room to the front boasts an original feature fireplace, ceiling coving and polished wooden floors. To the back of the home is the wonderfully bright and airy open plan kitchen/dining and lounge. The kitchen is neatly presented and has a great range of fitted floor and wall units in a striking dark blue colour with marble tiled flooring and granite countertops. The dining area enjoys excellent natural light thanks to two large Velux windows, and floor to ceiling windows with concertina doors leading out to the back garden. Adjacent to here is the lounge area. Upstairs on the return, there is a large family bathroom that has been extended and reinsulated, two double bedrooms and another single bedroom current in use as a home office/study. The attic was converted in 2009 and is now in use as a bedroom. Solar panels were also installed on the roof during this period, which has greatly improved the energy efficiency of the house.
Rathdown Road has long been regarded as one of the most popular locations in Phibsborough. Located off the North Circular Road it benefits from easy access to the city centre, only a ten-minute drive from Grafton Street and a short 3-minute walk to the Grangegorman Luas stop. It is also a stone’s throw from the Four Courts, Blackhall Place and King's Inns and is close to regular public transport facilities, with the M50 and Dublin Airport within easy reach.
