23 Grosvenor Place, Dublin 6, Rathgar, Dublin 6, D06K6N4

A most attractive red-brick Victorian residence of exceptional character and scale, having been substantially upgraded and thoughtfully enhanced in recent years, and arranged over three elegant storeys. Meticulously refurbished in recent years, the property has been thoughtfully upgraded to a high standard, resulting in a home presented in excellent decorative order throughout while retaining its period charm. No. 23 is set well back from the road, approached via an unusually long, west-facing front garden which is beautifully landscaped and bordered by mature hedging, affording a high degree of privacy. The property has benefited from a comprehensive and carefully considered programme of refurbishment and upgrade over the past two decades, resulting in a home of exceptional quality and efficiency. In 2005, the house underwent extensive works including the installation of new main roofs to both front and rear, full rewiring with alarm system and Cat5 cabling throughout, complete replastering, and the addition of Kingspan insulation to the external walls and beneath the sitting and dining room floors. Period detail was thoughtfully enhanced with the installation of Victorian-style fireplaces and chimney works. Further improvements followed with the addition of double-glazed sash windows and a kitchen extension in 2007. More recent upgrades reflect a strong emphasis on modern living, including the installation of enterprise-grade wireless internet throughout in 2016, and in 2017 a series of significant enhancements such as a double home office fit-out, a stylish wet room at return level with underfloor heating and integrated technology, attic conversion with en-suite wet room (fully insulated and soundproofed), and a TV room extension with underfloor heating and bespoke oak flooring. A high-quality kitchen by McNally, along with bespoke TV units by Lomi Design, further elevate the interior finish. Externally, ongoing maintenance and improvements have included roof repairs, resurfacing of the rear lane, and installation of a roller shutter to the shed. In recent years, the property has continued to evolve with a focus on energy efficiency and exterior presentation, including the installation of a new A-rated gas boiler, warm roof systems with skylights, and comprehensive chimney and façade restoration works in 2023. The gardens were redesigned in 2022 for low-maintenance living, incorporating polished concrete pathways, granite and sandstone patios, and practical additions such as bike storage. Overall, the property presents as a superbly maintained and thoughtfully upgraded home, seamlessly blending period character with contemporary comfort. Accommodation The entrance hall is immediately striking boasting high ceilings and original features. To the right, a pair of beautifully proportioned interconnecting reception rooms enjoy timber floors, marble fireplaces, high ceilings and original ceiling coving, with the front drawing room further enhanced by a generous bay window. The hall continues past understairs storage and a guest WC, leading to a warm and inviting family space that has been thoughtfully designed to combine everyday comfort with practical working functionality. This is a practical room that effortlessly accommodates both relaxed family living and a fully integrated home office setup. The space benefits from a considered designer fit-out, with bespoke joinery providing discreet storage and intelligently incorporated workstations that blend seamlessly into the overall aesthetic. From here the accommodation leads to a sleek modern kitchen/breakfast room fitted with high-quality appliances. A well fitted out utility room sits off the kitchen. This space opens seamlessly to the landscaped rear garden-ideal for modern family living and entertaining. Upstairs, there are four generous double bedrooms plus a fully fitted home office arranged over the upper floors. The principal bedroom to the front spans the width of the property, complemented by two additional bathrooms and a walk in shower room/wet room on top floor. Externally, the rear garden enjoys an easterly aspect, capturing the morning sun, and features an Indian sandstone patio leading to a versatile garden house currently in use as a home gym with clear potential for a home office. A rear laneway provides vehicular access. Superbly located on Grosvenor Place, the property is within easy reach of the vibrant amenities of both Rathmines and Rathgar, including an array of shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities. St. Stephen’s Green is just 2.5 km away, while excellent public transport links are available along Rathgar Road and Lower Rathmines Road.
