Abercorn House, 34 Charleston Avenue, Ranelagh, Dublin 6, D06W7P4

34 Charleston Avenue is far more than a home, it is a carefully considered reinvention where architectural clarity meets everyday comfort. Abercorn House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive, A-rated contemporary residence in one of Dublin’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. Discreetly positioned on a quiet and charming avenue in the heart of Ranelagh, this remarkable home seamlessly blends heritage with modern design. While the original structure dates back over 200 years, it has been thoughtfully reimagined, reoriented and extended to create a residence of exceptional light, space and privacy. The result is a home of quiet confidence, where every element has been designed with purpose and restraint. Behind its elegant façade of red brick and Corten steel lies a beautifully composed four-bedroom home extending to approximately 212 sq.m (2,282 sq.ft). Designed by award-winning architects Lawrence & Long, the house was honoured as Housing Project of the Year in its category at the Building & Architect of the Year Awards 2024, a testament to the quality of its design and execution. At the centre of the home is a stunning open-plan living space, generous yet intimate, designed to adapt effortlessly to both family life and entertaining. A bespoke kitchen, dining area, and a series of interconnected living zones are arranged to maximise light and flow, with a striking rooflight and expansive glazing drawing the eye outward to the landscaped garden. From within the home, the outlook is particularly special, a rare and uninterrupted view of mature trees, with no buildings in sight, offering a sense of privacy and calm seldom found in Ranelagh.The material's palette is calm and refined, creating a sense of understated luxury throughout. The accommodation is both flexible and elegantly proportioned, comprising four well-appointed bedrooms and a selection of beautifully finished bathrooms. Each room is designed with a focus on comfort, natural light and simplicity, offering a sense of calm and retreat. A particularly valuable feature is the integral garage, providing secure off-street parking, excellent storage and a utility area, complete with electric vehicle charging facility. Despite its central location, just moments from the vibrant village of Ranelagh with its cafés, restaurants and boutiques, Abercorn House offers a rare sense of seclusion. The design prioritises privacy and tranquillity, creating a home that feels both connected and quietly removed from the pace of city life. 34 Charleston Avenue will appeal to a wide range of discerning buyers, from families seeking a long-term home, to those looking to downsize without compromise. It is a home that balances design, functionality and location with ease, offering something truly special within Dublin 6. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
