A distinctive and substantial semi-detached Victorian residence where timeless elegance meets contemporary living...
Gracefully positioned and rich in character, this exceptional 4-5 bedroom two-storey over garden level semi-detached Victorian residence has been sensitively and comprehensively refurbished, extended, and modernised to an exacting standard. It offers an impressive 326 sqm / 3509 sqft approx. of well-appointed and balanced accommodation. Behind its handsome period façade lies a home of remarkable style and substance, where classical architectural detail blends seamlessly with refined contemporary design.
From the moment you step inside, this light-filled property exudes warmth and sophistication. Original features—including high ceilings, ornate cornicing, sash windows, stained glass windows, timber floorboards and feature fireplaces—have been lovingly restored, preserving the home’s historic charm. These elements are beautifully complemented by a carefully curated modern specification, delivering both comfort and visual harmony.
The accommodation unfolds over three thoughtfully designed levels, offering a perfect balance of formal and informal living spaces. Elegant reception rooms provide ideal settings for entertaining, while the heart of the home lies in the stunning extended kitchen/dining/living area and family room at garden level. Flooded with natural light, this space showcases sleek cabinetry, high-quality finishes whilst enjoying underfloor heating and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow—perfect for modern day to day family living.
Upstairs, four generously proportioned bedrooms offer tranquil retreats, enhanced by bespoke storage and tasteful finishes. The principal bedroom is a particularly fine room complete with ensuite shower room. Bathrooms are superbly appointed, combining contemporary style with premium fittings.
The gardens are a truly noteworthy feature of this enticing home. The landscaped rear garden measuring L78ft approx., is mainly laid out in very practical, low maintenance synthetic lawn and is bordered with a play area and mature beds and enjoys spacious patio areas ideal for entertaining, capturing early morning sunshine to late evening light. It has both vehicular and pedestrian access to Grosvenor Lane. An inner courtyard is both charming and practical and features a very useful original cut stone shed and a covered side passageway to the front garden. The large front garden is bordered with granite walls and hedging with ample private parking for several cars.
Superbly located on ever-popular Leinster Road, positioned between Grosvenor Place and Leinster Road West, the houses situated on this stretch are well set back from the road, enjoy large gardens in the main and overlook low-lying villa-style properties on the other side of the road, thereby affording some picturesque views of the Dublin mountains on a clear day.
Rathmines town centre is a few minutes’ walk away and offers all social and essential amenities to include a great choice of shops, cafes and restaurants. Swan Leisure, Omniplex Cinema and the Stella Cinema take care of your leisure and entertainment needs. Whilst a wonderful host of primary and secondary schools are in the area. Harold’s Cross, Rathgar, Terenure, Ranelagh and the city centre are all within walking distance.
Every detail of this residence has been meticulously considered—from the quality of materials to the integration of modern comforts—resulting in a home that is as functional as it is beautiful. 73 Leinster Road offers a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special Victorian home – one that honours its heritage while embracing the very best of modern family living. Viewing is highly recommended.

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.
