DNG are delighted to present to the market Bel Canto House, number 21 North Great Georges Street, constructed on one of the finest Georgian streetscapes in Dublin and is the epicentre of the rapidly expanding North Georgian Core.

Registered as a new home for Ms Sarah Archdall on the 4th May 1785, more recently the property has been the residence of a Mr Frank Merriman “the most amazing singing teacher in the universe” whose family of students included Sinead O’Connor, Mary Coughlan, Luka Bloom, Christy Dignam, Christy Moore, Damien Dempsey, Tenor Edwin Williamson, Patrick Bergin, the lads from Boyzone and Stockton’s wing.

No 21 uniquely retains its original internal composition with its high ceilings, ornate coving and wonderful fireplaces.

The highly impressive four storey over basement Georgian residence contains a wonderful main entrance hall with impressive Wicklow Stone, two fine grand reception rooms, stunning drawing room, 7 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and three music rooms, wine cellar and concert room.

The feature sash windows add an abundance of natural light throughout, original window shutters, decorative coving, original timber flooring, fan lights and three cast iron balconies.
