Description
Every now and then a truly unique home comes to the market and number 17 is one such property! A really captivating detached Edwardian family home (c.1920s), it is a rare example in Rathgar of the Arts and Craft style and is an absolutely stunning family home combining a sophisticated fusion of contemporary design with all its original charm and character. It is a hugely distinctive home that will surprise and delight - set back from the road behind mature hedging and beautiful gardens affording total privacy with off-street parking and garage.
Offering well-appointed, luxurious accommodation of 240 sqm / 2,583 sqft approx. (to include the integral garage and attic floor), this light-filled 3-bedroom exquisite home is perfect for growing families or those looking to right-size from a larger house. Purchased in 2006 by the current owners, their brief then to Darmody Architects was 'to transform, refurbish and extend the main structure into a formal living and sleeping zone while creating a series of new spaces to allow for family living'. What evolved was an innovative L-shaped space of glass, zinc and timber, which accommodates the kitchen, utility room and demi-dining space at the existing floor level connecting to a spectacular 4-metre high glass sunken living space / garden room complemented by the surrounding lush greenery of the surrounding garden and sizeable courtyard. The result is quite special - what was a modest house in proportion and overall size, is now a standout unique home, encased in a charming exterior and completed by a showstopping interior of immense style, space and luxurious specification.
A welcoming ambience greets you when you step inside - old and new combine seamlessly. A wide reception hallway with guest w.c. and elegant interconnecting reception rooms with a cosy hideaway snug / tv room opening off are truly atmospheric. The heart of this home is the bright and airy social space to the rear of the property comprising of a contemporary open plan kitchen/dining/sunken living-garden room. This stunning area was designed to accommodate day-to-day family living and entertaining. It communicates effortlessly with the private patio courtyard and lush gardens making this space a veritable 'outside room', enjoyed year-round.
Upstairs are 3 bedrooms. The main bedroom is a restful space with a contemporary ensuite shower room upgraded in 2025. A bright family bathroom, also upgraded in 2025, serves the other 2 bedrooms. A tasteful attic conversion and shower room were constructed in 2006.
This sublime home is beautifully decorated and presented with a carefully curated mix of neutral and colourful tones from Farrow and Ball & Paint and Paper Library, striking wallpaper from Little Green and Morris & Co and a high specification fit-out. It is further complemented by private landscaped gardens front and rear, enjoying great seclusion. They feature a lovely mix of formal and contemporary design with a blend of paving and lawn and beautiful greenery providing year-round colour, interest and screening. To the front there is private off-street parking with an electric car charger, a sizeable garage and a gated side passageway.
Number 17 enjoys a very convenient location with regular bus routes on the Rathgar and Upper Rathmines Roads. A 10-minute walk will take you to the Cowper Luas station. The location itself offers a wide variety of primary and secondary schools and a superb choice of restaurants, coffee shops and shopping in the nearby villages of Rathgar, Rathmines and Ranelagh - all within walking distance. Superb local shopping at Upper Rathmines Road is literally on the doorstep. Sports clubs include Rathgar Tennis Club, Milltown Golf Club, David Lloyd Riverview, Iconic Health Club Dartry and Brookfield Tennis Club, with Palmerston Park and the Dodder linear park just around the corner.
