Description
A beautiful Victorian Grand Dame in a quiet cul-de-sac, number 5 Palmerston Villas is the epitome of period charm and unrivalled scale and proportion.
A truly impressive and inviting two storey over garden level Victorian family home offering generous, light filled and elegant accommodation of approximately 410 sqm (4413 sqft). This fine property enjoys a seamless blend of traditional and modern day conveniences and all the while sympathetic to its era. With secure gated off-street parking on a low maintenance pebble driveway complemented by verdant landscaped private wraparound gardens.
Tucked away on a quiet residential cul de sac and well set back from the road, number 5 overlooks the tennis courts of Brookfield Tennis Club and benefits from a private open and airy south facing aspect, enjoying uninterupted views of the Dublin mountains. The property is approached by a paved path, which leads to a gentle flight of granite steps beyond which lies a truly exceptional family home of grace, character and unrivalled scale. The very impressive welcoming reception hall provides a glimpse of what lies ahead, from wonderful period features to include exceptional ceiling heights, ceiling coving, centre roses and ornate cornice work to a general ambience of warmth and elegance. Enter through the front door and you can walk out again almost immediately through double glazed doors onto a roof garden terrace paved with original Victorian tiles - a real sun trap, which connects with the sizeable study/home office.
The two superb interconnecting reception rooms are flooded with south facing natural light, large open Georgian fireplaces along with tall sash windows. Providing the most wonderful area for entertaining, both rooms are accessed by stunning solid mahogany doors salvaged from a house in Co. Westmeath. These rooms are extremely elegant, with elaborate cornicing and restful colour schemes from the Farrow & Ball range of period colours.
A sizeable luxurious home office / study is fitted with bespoke built in desks, floor to ceiling shelving and storage, with French patio doors that lead out to the paved patio area. Completing the accommodation on this level are the guest cloakroom and guest bathroom.
The garden level with own door entrance takes care of the working part of the home, from the conveniently located boot room and cloakroom, along with the tiled guest bathroom, excellently appointed utility room complete with hot press takes care of all the storage requirements of busy family life. The heart of every home is the kitchen, and this excellently appointed one will not disappoint. Cleverly positioned with a triple aspect - windows overlook the front, side and back gardens. Featuring plenty of bespoke solid wood, hand painted storage complete with marble worktops along with a breakfast island and double doors into a substantial walk in shelved pantry. Integrated kitchen appliances include an aga with two ring gas stove top, insert electric two ring hob, Neff extractor above, Siemens integrated dishwasher and double Miele ovens. A further two reception rooms on this floor are in use as a family living room and the other a den/informal dining room, the latter opening into the rear garden. The fifth double bedroom is located on this level and benefits from ensuite facilities. At the rear, there is a corridor of floor to ceiling storage – really useful for a busy family - and this leads into the gym / sixth bedroom. The second floor level is accessed from the wonderful sweeping staircase that runs from garden level to first floor and up to the second floor. Four of the double bedrooms are on this level, all of a very generous size and offering excellent storage. The spacious primary bedroom is flooded with south facing light and offers ensuite shower facilities. A sizeable family bathroom with bath and quadrant shower completes the accommodation on this level.
This wonderful property offers everything required in a family home from generous light-filled, versatile accommodation, leafy landscaped wraparound gardens and secure low maintenance off street parking in a superbly convenient and sought-after location. What more could any family require!
Palmerston Villas is a quiet residential road located in the heart of Dublin 6. A wonderful private and discreet cul de sac with an array of distinctive homes.

Number 5 is nicely located on the road overlooking Brookfield Tennis Club and within striking distance of nearby Palmerston Park. Dartry Health Club is on your doorstep along with a selection of shopping amenities along Upper Rathmines Road and the renowned Dunville Avenue. Importantly, the house is easily accessible to some of Dublin’s most sought-after schools as well as being within walking distance of Ranelagh, Rathgar and Rathmines.

About the Area
Rathmines is a vibrant suburb on the southside of Dublin, about 3 kilometres south of the city centre. It effectively begins at the south side of the Grand Canal and stretches along the Rathmines Road as far as Rathgar to the south, Ranelagh to the east and Harold's Cross to the west. Rathmines has thriving commercial and civil activity and is well-known across Ireland as part of a traditionally known "flatland" - providing rented accommodation to newly arrived junior civil servants and third level students coming from outside the city since the 1930s.
