Description
A wonderfully attractive semi-detached Victorian family home (240 sq m including attic space of 22 sq m approx.) with south west-facing landscaped rear garden. Number 43 enjoys a superbly convenient location with the villages of Harold’s Cross, Rathgar and Terenure within 10 minutes’ walk. It has undergone a full architectural renovation, significant modernisation and clever extension by its current owners.
This period red brick has been the subject of a comprehensive and sensitive renovation, which was a close collaboration between the owners and GKMP Architects. The result is very impressive – a reimagined, light-filled family home, rich in original detailing, contemporary design and specification, achieved through great attention to detail and use of only the best materials and craftsmanship.
Light and functionality were central to the architect’s brief and the end result is clearly evidenced by the light, space, layout, understated elegance, warmth, design and storage throughout the property. Old and new combine seamlessly - high ceilings and elegant room proportions are complemented by the modern extension which runs to the rear boundary wall with the kitchen/breakfast room, study and play room arranged around a south west facing courtyard featuring a mature pear tree. A continuous line of storage units is arranged along the north boundary wall. A high level window above the desk in the study introduces evening light in the summer time and also serves to minimise the impact of the structure on the neighbouring garden. A contemporary brick screen is made to the garden complimenting the brick of the existing house. Tall sliding oak screens open up all of the spaces to the garden and the continuous stone floor blurs the transition from inside to out.
An elegant drawing room interconnects with the dining room, both rooms feature marble fireplaces, ornate plasterwork and hardwood timber flooring. The heart of this home is the bright and airy social space to the rear of the property comprising of a contemporary open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room. Featuring a bespoke fitted kitchen and sliding doors, this area was designed to accommodate day-to-day family living and entertaining. It communicates effortlessly with the sun-trap south westerly rear garden and patio, making this space a veritable ‘outside room’, enjoyed year-round. A play room, study, utility room and stylish guest w.c. complete the accommodation at ground floor. Upstairs, the original five bedrooms have been reimagined. Now comprising four double bedrooms, the original fifth bedroom has been repurposed to an en-suite for the main bedroom. A bright family bathroom and tasteful attic conversion with shower room complete what is on offer. This exquisite home is further complemented by landscaped gardens front and rear, with the rear enjoying a much sought-after south westerly orientation with gated side passageway.
A description of this special home would not be complete without mention of its superb location. The property’s location is first class. Situated between the villages of Rathgar, Harold’s Cross and Terenure, with every amenity on your doorstep and within 2 miles of St Stephen’s Green. An excellent range of well-established schools are all close by including Rathgar Junior, The High School, Alexandra College, St Louis High School, Terenure College and St. Mary’s College. The renaissance of Rathgar, Harold’s Cross and Terenure provides a choice of trendy restaurants and local shopping.
