1 Cowper Road, Rathmines, Dublin 6, D06 X3Y1, Ireland

A handsome, tastefully refurbished two-storey over garden level period residence with superb south-westerly wrap around gardens and large double garage (46 sqm / 495 sqft approx.) to the rear. Wonderfully transformed both inside and out by its current owners, this attractive home with a B2 BER has been skillfully extended and refurbished and now offers impressive accommodation of 276 sqm / 2971 sqft, which includes the attic room. Well set back from the road, Number 1 enjoys a prime corner position on this highly sought-after road.
A gracious period home, it combines the best of contemporary design for practical modern-day living whilst retaining original period detail with high ceilings, fine period fireplaces, attractive coving and centre roses, and large sash windows to name a few.
The property boasts a versatile, spacious and energy-efficient interior, offering a perfect balance of reception rooms and generous bedroom accommodation. At garden level the dual aspect layout comprises a contemporary open plan family / kitchen / dining room, with impressive floor to ceiling glazed bi-fold doors opening out to the private rear garden. At hall level there is a very elegant drawing room with original period features intact. The main bedroom suite is also at this level and includes a large dressing room complete with an extensive range of fitted wardrobes, and an ensuite shower room. Planning permission is in place to extend the hall to access the large rear extension, making that a bedroom, thereby reinstating the original two interconnecting reception rooms (Planning reference: 4226/23).
Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms; 2 doubles, one with an ensuite shower room and dressing room. A single bedroom and well-appointed family bathroom complete the accommodation at this level. A clever attic conversion (28 sqm / 301 sqft approx.) includes a shower room and great storage.   
To the front of the property, there is a railed south-facing garden laid out in lawn and bordered with mature shrubs and trees providing great privacy and seclusion. This garden is home to a great purpose-built tree-house. The garden wraps around to the side and back where it is bathed in westerly sunshine. There is a sizeable patio area, which captures all-day sunlight, with a split-level limestone patio area, perimeter planting and herbaceous borders providing excellent screening and privacy. A large double garage (46sq.m. / 495sq.ft. approx.) with both vehicular (remote electric) and pedestrian access to Cowper Mews laneway will serve a variety of uses from secure parking for 2 vehicles, to excellent storage to a home office/gym/games room/studio as it comes complete with a shower and guest w.c..
Enjoying an almost unparalleled sense of convenience, the property is just 2 miles from St. Stephen's Green, in a location second to none with Rathmines, Rathgar, Ranelagh and Dartry on its doorstep and within a stroll of excellent local shopping at Upper Rathmines Road and Dunville Avenue. Some of Dublin's best schools are nearby including St Mary's College, Sandford National, Sandford Park, Alexandra College, Gonzaga College, Kildare Place, Zion National and Stratford College, to name a few. The renaissance of nearby Ranelagh and Rathmines gives a choice of trendy restaurants. The Luas at Cowper Road is a pleasant 10-minute stroll away. Sports facilities nearby include Milltown Golf Club and David Lloyd Riverview, with Brookfield Tennis Club and Dartry Health Club literally on the doorstep. Palmerston Park, with its soon to open, new Tea Rooms, is a short stroll away.
