Dublin, Rathgar, Ireland

DNG are delighted to present 181 Rathgar Road to the market, a magnificent 4 bed/ 5 bath Victorian residence of immense character and charm, occupying a prominent position on one of Dublin 6's most distinguished residential roads. Behind its elegant and instantly recognisable façade lies a beautifully appointed home presented in impeccable turnkey condition. Extensively upgraded in 2014 and meticulously maintained, the property successfully marries the elegance and craftsmanship of its Victorian heritage with the comfort and efficiency of contemporary family living. Original features including ornate coving, impressive ceiling heights, decorative joinery and a striking marble fireplace have been carefully preserved, while extensive improvements such as rewiring, replumbing and double-glazed sash windows ensure modern convenience throughout. The exceptional standard of presentation is immediately evident, creating a residence of warmth, sophistication and enduring appeal.

The accommodation is arranged over multiple levels, offering an exceptional balance of elegant reception space and generous bedroom accommodation. The principal, most elegant living and dining rooms provide superb settings for both formal entertaining and relaxed family living, combining impressive proportions with refined period detailing. The large master bedroom offers luxurious accommodation complete with an ensuite shower room and walk-in wardrobe, while several of the three further well-proportioned double bedrooms benefit from their own ensuite facilities, ensuring an excellent level of comfort and privacy throughout. The highly adaptable lower ground floor further enhances the home’s versatility, incorporating a contemporary kitchen/breakfast room and a separate lounge/cinema room, alongside a flexible space suitable as a wine cellar or further extensive storage. This level adds significant functionality to the property and lends itself to a wide range of modern family needs. To the front, a substantial gravelled driveway provides valuable off-street parking for several vehicles, a rare and highly sought-after feature in such a prestigious and well-established setting. Every aspect of the property reflects the exceptional care and attention of its current owners, resulting in a home of true distinction, ready for immediate occupation.

Situated between Rathgar, Rathmines and Ranelagh, the property enjoys access to an outstanding range of amenities. An excellent selection of cafés, restaurants, boutiques, independent retailers and supermarkets are all within easy reach, while some of Dublin's most highly regarded primary and secondary schools are nearby. The area is exceptionally well served by recreational facilities, including Palmerston Park, Bushy Park, Belgrave Square, Dartry Park, Brookfield and Rathgar Tennis Clubs, Milltown Golf Club and Swan Leisure Centre. Renowned local retailers such as Connolly's Fishmongers, Lawlor's Butchers and Mortons of Ranelagh further enhance the neighbourhood's appeal.
