42 Pembroke Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, D04 E6D0, Ireland

Beautifully restored and comprehensively refurbished in 2006/2007, No. 42 Pembroke Road is a 6 bedroom Victorian residence extending to approximately 347 sq.m (3,735 sq.ft), occupying a prime position in one of Dublin's most prestigious and sought-after residential locations.

Combining timeless architectural elegance with contemporary comfort, this exceptional family home is presented in superb turnkey condition and is ready for immediate occupation.

A particularly rare feature of the property is its attractive outlook towards Wellington Road, with views across its mature tree-lined streetscape and onwards to the Dublin Mountains. Throughout the house, generous proportions, impressive ceiling heights and large sash windows create wonderfully bright and elegant living spaces.

Behind the handsome period façade lies a meticulous restoration of exceptional quality. The refurbishment was overseen by RKD Architects in collaboration with Swedish designers and conservation architect Joan O'Connor, former President of the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland, while the construction works were undertaken by Merrion Contracting.

The specification reflects an uncompromising commitment to craftsmanship and quality, with specialist artisans from Sweden and Spain contributing to the finishes. Imported marble, handmade terracotta, bespoke tiling, and custom joinery combine to create interiors of lasting appeal. The bespoke kitchen and fitted cabinetry were designed and installed by Kvänum Stockholm, complemented by wide-plank oak flooring, restored shutters, original sash windows, custom oak joinery and carefully restored decorative plasterwork.

Approached via a flight of original granite steps, the accommodation opens into an elegant entrance hall on the hall floor, flanked by two beautifully proportioned reception rooms. At hall-floor return level there is a versatile bedroom/study and a modern shower room.

The upper floors provide five further bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite featuring an ensuite bathroom, dressing area and extensive fitted wardrobes. A second ensuite bedroom and an additional shower room ensure excellent family accommodation.

At garden level, a spacious family and dining room forms the heart of the home, complemented by the bespoke Kvänum kitchen. Extensive storage, a utility room and a guest WC add practicality to this superbly designed floor.

A substantial double walk-in attic offers excellent storage and direct roof access.

Externally, both front and rear gardens have been landscaped to provide privacy, ease of maintenance and year-round visual interest. The secluded rear garden offers a tranquil outdoor retreat in the heart of Dublin 4.
