Description
DNG is delighted to launch Washington House, an elegant Georgian family home set in 0.37-acre (approx.) landscaped gardens along the prestigious Butterfield Avenue. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home that blends timeless period architecture, modern comfort, and a superb location, offering both lifestyle and legacy - a country home in the city.
The house has been elegantly restored over the last 30 years with meticulous attention to detail complimenting its period elegance.
From the moment you step inside, Washington House exudes Georgian charm and character. The ground floor opens with an inviting hallway, leading into a series of light-filled reception rooms with classic proportions. These versatile spaces provide the perfect balance between formal entertainment and relaxed family living. A well-appointed kitchen forms the heart of the home, while sash-style windows throughout ensure an abundance of natural light and seamless garden views.
Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress with six generously proportioned bedrooms that offer flexibility for family life. The principal suite is a tranquil retreat, complete with serene garden views, an ensuite and a walk-in wardrobe— a true sanctuary at the end of the day.
The gardens are equally appealing. Set within 0.37 acres (approx.) of mature grounds, they offer an oasis of calm with established fruit trees, landscaped lawns, water features and a south facing patio area ideal for outdoor dining, family gatherings, or quiet reflection. Both entrances, pedestrian and vehicular, have electronic gates providing both privacy and security, opening onto a sweeping rear driveway with space to accommodate 5-6 cars. A detached garage secured with automated roller shutter door with fob access further enhances the property, offering excellent storage or potential for additional use for a vehicle or otherwise.
Washington House is also perfectly positioned for families, with a wide choice of excellent local schools nearby, including Terenure College, Our Lady’s School Terenure, and Loreto High School Beaufort. For younger children, there are also highly regarded primary schools within easy reach. Transport connections are another key advantage of this location. Butterfield Avenue is well-served by Dublin Bus routes, including the 15, 15B, 15D, 16, 61, and S6 providing frequent and direct access into the city centre and beyond. The M50 motorway is also within easy reach, ensuring excellent connectivity.
The location of Washington House combines prestige with practicality. Alongside its excellent transport and schools, this family home enjoys proximity to local shopping and dining in Rathfarnham, Terenure, Templeogue and Rathgar Villages - many within walking distance - as well as green spaces such as Bushy Park, St. Enda’s Park, and the Dodder Greenway, offering leisure and recreation just moments from home.
