42 Rugby Road, Ranelagh, Dublin 6, D06R7P8

The location of this immaculate Edwardian two-bedroomed home is superb, the home itself has been beautifully renovated and is in walk-in condition (literally turnkey, we are not just throwing that statement around casually!). EXPLORE INSIDE Clever design features increase the feeling of space and light throughout this beautiful property. With a neutral colour palette and rich oak flooring there is a modern, elegant vibe which still manages to feel really cosy. The living area extends front to back on the ground floor, with extra light pouring down from above through the glass walkway on the landing. The fully fitted kitchen, with white cupboards and wooden worktop, comes well equipped, including a five ring gas hob – a feature that will be much prized by keen cooks. There is a guest WC, and a tucked-away utility cupboard that houses necessities such as the washing machine and vacuum cleaner. Up the beautiful bright wooden stairs there are two double bedrooms, both with fitted mirrored wardrobes, and a fully-tiled shower room. Plantation shutters and double-glazed sash windows offer privacy and tranquillity. EXPLORE OUTSIDE The private back yard, reached by a patio door from the kitchen, is a nice space to extend a party into when entertaining, or great to just enjoy a quiet glass of wine or a coffee on a nice evening. It also benefits from rear access where some communal car parking is available. On-street resident’s parking discs are offered for the front of the property, although you would have to question the need for a car at all as there is practically everything you could need on your doorstep. There is a range of supermarkets available nearby, including Lidl and Tesco Express in Ranelagh and a ‘posh’ Dunnes in the Swan Centre. The parks of Belgrave Square and Ranelagh Gardens are both just a few minutes’ walk away. Fitness is catered to with a range of local gyms and the swimming pool in Swan Leisure – which is just as well because walking to Grafton Street and back wouldn’t even take you half way to hitting a 10k steps target. The new owners will quickly discover that the answer to ‘where will we go’ for a night out will include some of the best and trendiest spots in Dublin, all within a ten minute walk. And if you fancy something a bit further afield, the Ranelagh Green Luas Line is less than five minutes from your door to whisk you into town or out to Dundrum. THE BOTTOM LINE This house is an absolute gem – form an orderly queue please!
