6 Mount Pleasant Avenue Upper, Ranelagh, Dublin 6, D06Y627

6 Mount Pleasant Avenue Upper is a very charming two-bed, double-fronted, end-of-terrace period house, which has been sensitively refurbished and modernised, now presenting in very good condition. Steeped in a unique history, Number 6 was once the family home of the Hackett family, who previously ran Dublin's famous Bretzel bakery across the canal in Portobello. Retaining much of the rich character synonymous with an 1840s Georgian house, the current owners have been sympathetic to the original fabric of the house and its features when undertaking some refurbishment, which included rewiring, plumbing and insulation. This attractive home enjoys incredible natural light owing to cleverly positioned skylights. An abundance of striking features – old and new - include double-glazed sliding sash timber windows, original cast iron fireplaces and stove, antique cast iron bath and original timber flooring and doors. Floating bookcases and Farrow & Ball paintwork throughout complete this tasteful, inviting residence, which extends to approx. 90 sq.m. Set back from the road thanks to a quaint, private front garden, the front door welcomes you into a hallway. Off the hallway, there is an open plan dining area, a generous sitting room and a fully fitted, light-filled kitchen with access to the private, sunny rear courtyard. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a large bathroom with a restored antique cast iron bath and a separate shower area. The main bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe. A large attic, which is accessed via pull-down stairs in bedroom 2, features fully floored storage (40 sqm approx.). A small enclosed gated side passage provides secure storage for bikes, bins etc with access to the private courtyard from here as well. Situated in a most ideal position, this home offers the peace and tranquillity of a quiet residential area with the huge convenience of city living. It is only moments away from an extensive array of amenities in both the villages of Ranelagh and Rathmines, with the city centre a mere 15-min walk or short LUAS trip away. Scenic Belgrave Square, Dartmouth Square and Mountpleasant Square are also only a short stroll away. Ideally located for transport, a 5-minute walk will take you to the Ranelagh LUAS station or the Grand Canal cycleway/walkway, enabling efficient access to major business districts. The area is also really well-served by top-tier primary and secondary schools.
