Description
This double-fronted property provides a rare opportunity to secure a fine period home with versatile potential. Extending to approximately 2,164 sq ft, it benefits from a west-facing rear aspect, rear off-street parking, and valuable vehicular access—an exceptional find in prime Dublin 6. Currently arranged as three separate apartments, the property presents a compelling investment opportunity. As it was originally a single dwelling, it is exempt from planning if the new owner decided to reconfigure as a single dwelling.
Inside, the accommodation is generously proportioned and rich in hallmark period features, including high ceilings, elegant fireplaces, decorative cornicing, panelled doors, and sash windows. While reconfiguration is required, the foundations for a refined and comfortable home are firmly in place. There is also scope to further extend (subject to PP), with the sunny west-facing garden offering an ideal setting for a light-filled, architecturally designed addition.
The original house has been extended to the rear, and the interiors enjoy excellent natural light throughout. Flexible in layout, the accommodation can be adapted to suit a variety of needs, giving the new owner all the ingredients to create a standout home.
To the front, a charming walled garden with granite cappings sets a welcoming tone. A key highlight is the rear garden—approximately 57 ft in length—which offers significant potential to expand. The garden also benefits from vehicular access from Harold’s Cross Road.
Brighton Avenue is a mature, highly coveted residential address, close to the amenities of Rathgar, Terenure and Rathmines. Rathgar is known for top schools with selection of highly regarded primary and secondary schools nearby, including Rathgar Junior School, Rathgar National School, Alexandra College, Zion College, Gonzaga College, St. Mary’s College, Kildare Place School, High School, and Terenure College. Bushy Park, with its extensive recreational facilities, is also just a pleasant walk from the property.
