4 Cambridge Road, Rathhmines, Dublin 6, D06X8H2

A classic three-bedroom Victorian residence extended and renovated to exacting standards set on a sought-after residential street close to the villages of Rathmines and Ranelagh. 4 Cambridge Road is a wonderfully attractive redbrick Victorian family home enjoying a superbly convenient location in the heart of Rathmines. The property retains fine period features including sash windows, floorboards and plasterwork which have been carefully and meticulously restored. During its full 'back to brick' renovation, the owners expertly blended the original period charm with modern conveniences. Approached via a tiled pathway through a beautifully landscaped front garden, surrounded by original wrought-iron railings, No. 4 has instant curb appeal. The entrance hall benefits from stained glass windows, original floorboards, ornate plasterwork and an archway. Also accessed from the entrance hall are cleverly designed understairs storage and guest WC. To the front, is an elegant drawing room with original marble fireplace with open fire, high ceilings, sash windows with working shutters. This stylishly presented room is an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining. A second family room/den with cleverly built in storage and a period fireplace offers a more casual family room and could also be used as a study for those who work from home. A contemporary extension to the rear has transformed the kitchen / breakfast room into a light-filled, open-plan living space, the natural heart of the home and an immediate draw for family buyers who value both everyday practicality and space for entertaining. This architecturally designed extension seamlessly blends old and new and features a bespoke handmade kitchen complete with Iroko countertops and Siemens appliances. This space also has a gas fire creating a wonderful focal point and relaxed seating area. A side door from the kitchen leads to a covered side-passage, which extends the length of the house and works well as a utility and storage space with access to the front and rear gardens. The first floor accommodation extends across three well-proportioned double bedrooms (master ensuite) and two further bathrooms. The luxurious master bedroom suite benefits from a wall of floor to ceiling wardrobes, two large windows overlooking the pretty tree-lined street and a sumptuous ensuite bathroom. Another attractive feature of the property is its sunny west facing city garden which integrates perfectly with the kitchen / breakfast room making it an ideal entertaining space. Cambridge Road occupies a quiet, tree lined setting with pretty Victorian architecture.
