32 Villiers Road, Rathgar, Dublin 6, D06R9K6

No 32 Villiers Road is a very handsome red brick Edwardian home of wonderful style, supreme functionality and modern comforts. Cleverly extended and fully restored to exacting standards, this deceptively spacious, 5-bedroom home extends to 211 sq m approx. (including 24 sq m at attic level) of light-filled, energy-efficient (B2) accommodation. It provides a superb balance of living and bedroom space, complemented by beautiful, landscaped gardens with parking to the rear. An inviting entrance hallway leads to two classical interconnecting reception rooms, rich in detail to include elaborate plasterwork and ornate fireplaces. The drawing room features a wonderful box bay window offering lovely views over the formal front garden. French doors lead from the dining room to a cleverly designed inner courtyard, which allows natural light throughout the living space. To the rear of the house is a very impressive social space – a spacious open plan kitchen / dining / family room. Wall to wall full height sliding doors open to a large, private limestone patio and 60ft rear garden with low-maintenance lawn and vehicular access to a laneway. A utility room and guest wc complete the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs, over 2 floors, there are 5 bedrooms (3 double) and 3 bathrooms. The exquisite main suite, situated on the top floor, comprises a large double bedroom with an Oriel bay window overlooking the rear garden. A short flight of stairs leads to the converted attic (24 sq m approx.), which features a well-appointed shower room (recently refitted) and a separate large dressing room with exceptional storage including access to great eaves storage. The gardens are designed to be attractive and low maintenance in equal measure – the front is more formal in design with neat hedging, box hedging, granite and clever planting sitting elegantly alongside the red brick elevation. The rear garden is very private and measures approx. 60ft. A large limestone patio off the family room is perfect for al fresco dining, whilst the easily maintained synthetic lawn is nicely bordered by mature shrubs. Off street parking at the back is accessed via a roller shutter. Superbly located between Upper Rathmines and Rathgar village with their great selection of specialty shops, coffee houses, delicatessens, not to mention being within close proximity of excellent junior and senior schools, 32 Villiers Road is sure to have a wide appeal and offers a very exciting opportunity for the discerning buyer looking for a turnkey, energy-efficient, future-proofed luxurious home with a great address.
