Situated at 68 Leeson Close, Dublin 2, just moments from St Stephen's Green, Fitzwilliam Square and the heart of Dublin's Georgian Quarter, this distinctive property offers purchasers the rare opportunity to create a luxurious private residence in a highly desirable city-centre setting. Planning Permission Granted The existing property, which is a protected structure requiring redevelopment, benefits from planning permission granted by Dublin City Council under Planning Reference WEB1375/26, providing for the extensive refurbishment, restoration and extension of the existing building to deliver a beautifully designed, contemporary four-bedroom mews residence. The proposed development has been thoughtfully designed to combine the character and architectural heritage of the original building with the comfort, space and functionality expected of a modern luxury home. The approved design incorporates generous open-plan living accommodation, four bedrooms, three bathrooms including two en suites, a private rear garden and an integral garage. Proposed Accommodation The plans designed by FHA Architecture & Design provide for approximately 217.44 sq.m (2,340 sq.ft) of total accommodation, inclusive of an integral garage extending to approximately 21 sq.m (226 sq.ft). The ground floor is designed around an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area extending to approximately 66 sq.m. This exceptional space opens directly onto a substantial private rear garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The ground floor also incorporates an entrance lobby, guest WC, storage facilities and an integral garage, providing practical accommodation rarely available in such a central Dublin location. At first-floor level, the proposed accommodation comprises four generously proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom suite of approximately 34 sq.m, together with a second substantial bedroom of approximately 20.5 sq.m. Two bedrooms benefit from en-suite facilities, with a further family bathroom serving the remaining accommodation. The proposed design makes excellent use of natural light, contemporary glazing and carefully considered architectural detailing to create bright, spacious interiors. Private Outdoor Space A particularly attractive feature is the substantial private rear garden. This valuable outdoor space which faces south-west offers exceptional potential for landscaped gardens, outdoor dining and entertaining, providing a sunny, peaceful retreat in the heart of Dublin 2. The overall site extends to approximately 205.4 sq.m (2,211 sq.ft). Architectural Design The proposed refurbishment sensitively balances the restoration of the original building with contemporary architectural additions. The plans incorporate the restoration of traditional masonry and original architectural features, alongside high-quality brick finishes, extensive contemporary glazing, natural slate roofing and carefully designed extensions. The result is an exciting opportunity to create a distinctive luxury home that respects the character of its historic surroundings while offering the benefits of modern residential design. Prime Dublin 2 Location Leeson Close enjoys an enviable position in the heart of Dublin 2, surrounded by some of the capital's finest Georgian architecture and within easy reach of its principal business, cultural and recreational amenities. St Stephen's Green, Fitzwilliam Square, Merrion Square and Grafton Street are all within comfortable walking distance, as are an excellent selection of restaurants, cafés, boutiques and hotels. The location also offers convenient access to the city's principal commercial districts, including the wider Dublin 2 business district and Grand Canal Dock. Despite its exceptionally central position, Leeson Close offers the distinctive character and privacy associated with Dublin's traditional mews streets, making it an appealing setting for a bespoke city residence. A Rare Opportunity Properties offering this combination of location, scale, private outdoor space, integral parking and the benefit of planning permission for a substantial luxury residence are seldom available in Dublin 2. 68 Leeson Close presents an outstanding opportunity for owner-occupiers, developers or purchasers seeking to create a bespoke city home in one of Dublin's most established and prestigious residential neighbourhoods.
