Description
"Waratah" 18 Rostrevor Road is an impressive detached, double-fronted, B energy rated family home, wonderfully positioned at the end of this quiet and highly sought after residential cul-de-sac in the heart of Dublin 6.
Seldom do properties of this calibre come to the market and having had only one previous owner, this warm family home has been lovingly cared for by the current owners for over 40 years. Extending to 280 sq m (approx.) No.18 offers wonderfully bright and generously proportioned accommodation, together with beautifully landscaped gardens wrapping around the house. Set well back from the road behind a generous cobble-lock driveway, it enjoys an exceptionally private setting with picturesque views over the playing fields of The High School and Dodder Park, as well as towards the Dublin Mountains.
Beyond the attractive façade lies a wonderfully bright and inviting family home of great warmth and character. Interior Designed by Helen Turkington, the property retains many attractive features synonymous with its era including stained glass, bay windows, high ceilings, picture rails, coving and handsome fireplaces, whilst a series of well-considered additions have created an excellent balance of living and bedroom accommodation ideally suited to modern family life.
As soon as one steps through the original stained glass hall door into the elegant reception hall, one cannot help but be impressed. To the front is a charming study / family room with a bay window, bespoke fitted bookcases and a stone surround gas fireplace. The principal drawing room is a superb dual aspect reception room with a large bay window to the front, a south-facing stained glass window to the side and a stone surround gas fireplace. Double doors connect through to the bright dining room with feature open fireplace, which in turn opens onto the beautiful part-glazed verandah and through to the garden room.
A particularly impressive feature of the house is the light-filled garden room. With glazing on four sides, it enjoys wonderful views of the surrounding greenery and towards the mountains. It connects seamlessly with the bespoke kitchen / breakfast room, while the adjoining conservatory provides a further living space with direct access to the rear garden. A guest wc, utility / boot-room and excellent storage complete the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs there are five bedrooms, including an impressive dual aspect principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a stylish ensuite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms together with a fifth bedroom / home office. A beautifully appointed family bathroom is situated on the first floor return. The staircase and landing are particularly attractive, with a magnificent six-pane stained glass window allowing natural light to flood through the house.
The gardens are without doubt a very special feature of Number 18. Exceptionally private and superbly landscaped, they wrap around the property and are laid out over a number of levels, creating a wonderful sense of space and seclusion. Lawns are bordered by mature evergreen and deciduous trees, ornamental shrubs, grasses and hedging, while a number of patio areas provide ideal places to sit and enjoy the garden throughout the day.
To the side of the house is a bespoke Alfred Cochrane part-glazed veranda, a wonderfully peaceful and sheltered spot from which to entertain, relax and enjoy the leafy outlook. Gravel pathways meander through the gardens, with the changing levels revealing further tucked-away areas including a delightful natural "secret garden" and garden shed. The elevated position affords particularly attractive views across The High School playing fields and the mature greenery beyond towards Dodder Park and the Dublin Mountains.
To the front, double entrance gates open onto a cobble-lock driveway providing generous off-street parking, together with access to both sides of the property and an EV charger.
Superbly positioned in one of Dublin 6's most sought after residential locations, Rostrevor Road enjoys an enviable and tranquil setting, whilst remaining within comfortable walking distance of Rathgar, Terenure and Dartry. The area offers an excellent choice of cafés, restaurants, shops and everyday amenities, together with superb recreational facilities including Dodder Park, Rathgar Tennis Club, Brookfield Tennis Club, Milltown & Castle Golf Clubs, Dartry Health & Fitness Club and David Lloyd Riverview. The nearby Dodder linear park is a wonderful local amenity for walking and recreation, with the popular Morilles coffee shop providing a convenient stopping point along the route.
There is also an excellent choice of primary and secondary schools in the surrounding area. The location is particularly well served by public transport, with regular bus services providing convenient access to the city centre, Dundrum and surrounding areas, while Luas services at Cowper and Milltown are also within easy reach. Dublin's principal places of business and the M50 are also readily accessible.
18 Rostrevor Road is undoubtedly a genuinely special family home, combining wonderful character, bright and beautifully proportioned accommodation, exceptional gardens and a superbly private position in one of Dublin 6's most desirable residential settings.
