6 Mount Pleasant Avenue Upper, Ranelagh, Dublin 6, D06Y627, Ireland

6 Mount Pleasant Avenue Upper, Ranelagh is a very charming two-bed, double-fronted, end-of-terrace period house, which has been sensitively refurbished and modernised, now presenting in very good condition. Steeped in a unique history, Number 6 was previously the family home of the Hackett family, who ran Dublin's famous Bretzel bakery across the canal in Portobello.

Retaining much of the rich character synonymous with an 1840s Georgian house, the current owners have been sympathetic to the original fabric of the house and its features when undertaking the refurbishment, which included rewiring, plumbing, installation of new windows and an insulation upgrade.

This attractive home enjoys incredible natural light owing to cleverly positioned skylights. An abundance of striking features - old and new - include double-glazed sliding sash timber windows, original cast iron fireplaces and stove, antique cast iron bath and original timber flooring and doors. Floating bookcases and Farrow & Ball paintwork throughout complete this tasteful, inviting residence, which extends to approx. 90 sq.m.

Set back from the road thanks to a quaint, private front garden, the front door welcomes you into a large hallway. Off the hallway, there is an open plan dining area, a generous sitting room and a fully fitted, light-filled kitchen. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a large bathroom with a restored antique cast iron bath and a separate shower area. The main bedroom comes with a walk-in wardrobe and the house has the distinct advantage of offering side storage/access to the rear for the management of storage bins and bikes. To complete the extensive storage associated with this home, the attic, which is accessed via pull-down stairs, offers an additional 40 sq.m. of fully floored storage.

Situated in a most ideal position, this home effortlessly offers the peace and tranquillity of a quiet residential area with the huge convenience of city living. It is only moments away from an extensive array of amenities in both the villages of Ranelagh and Rathmines, with Dublin City centre a mere 15-min walk or short LUAS trip away. The scenic Belgrave Square, Dartmouth Square and Mountpleasant square are also only a short stroll away. Ideally located for transport, a 5-minute walk will take you to the Ranelagh LUAS station or the Grand Canal cycleway/walkway, enabling efficient access to major business districts. The area is also really well-served by top-tier primary and secondary schools.
