Zeitlose Viktorianische Eleganz Mit Weitläufigen Gärten

Retaining an abundance of original Victorian features, 72 Grosvenor Road is a distinguished detached family residence of exceptional character, elegance and space, set amidst magnificent, mature gardens in the heart of Dublin 6. Built in the 1850s, and one of only ten of its type, Number 72 offers beautifully proportioned accommodation, generous off-street parking, and a remarkable level of privacy, making this a home of rare quality and enduring appeal.
Approached through traditional wrought-iron gates, the property is set well back from the road behind attractive red brick walls and mature planting. A gravelled driveway provides ample parking for several cars, while the handsome façade, with its decorative features, sash windows and impressive entrance, immediately conveys the grandeur and charm that lies within.
Beyond the original hall door, the accommodation extends over two levels and is rich in period detail. A welcoming entrance hall with elegant twin arches and original features sets the tone for the accommodation throughout. The current owners have carefully maintained and sympathetically enhanced the property during their 21-year tenure, working in collaboration with Paul Brazil Architect, taking care to preserve its historic character while ensuring it meets the demands of modern family life.
The interconnecting reception rooms are particularly impressive, featuring 12ft high ceilings, intricate plasterwork, marble fireplaces and large sash windows that fill the rooms with natural light. Original folding doors connect the two rooms, allowing them to function as elegant entertaining spaces or more intimate family rooms. A third large reception room provides further flexible family space.
The heart of the home is the impressive, extended kitchen and dining room, a wonderfully bright and inviting space that opens directly onto the large patio and rear garden, providing the perfect setting for everyday living and entertaining alike. A walk-in pantry and generous utility room complement this space. A guest wc completes the accommodation at this level.
Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is both generous and versatile. There are five well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which benefit from ensuite bathrooms. The principal suite also features a walk-in wardrobe, while an additional room is currently used as a dressing room. A charming return with a distinctive circular window provides a peaceful reading nook or relaxation space.
Another of this property’s exceptional features is its magnificent rear garden. Extending to approximately 24m x 15m, a rarity in such a central and established location. The sun-filled south-facing garden is beautifully maintained and enjoys an abundance of mature shrubs, trees, and colourful planting creating a secluded and tranquil oasis.
Perfectly positioned close to Rathmines village, the location offers an unrivalled range of amenities within easy reach. Some of Dublin’s most prestigious schools, including Alexandra College, Gonzaga College, St Mary’s College, Stratford College and The High School, are all nearby. Residents enjoy easy access to an excellent selection of cafés, restaurants, boutiques, cinemas, parks and sporting facilities, while frequent buses provide convenient access to the city centre, just 3 kilometres away.
All told, 72 Grosvenor Road represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Victorian family home of distinction, combining timeless period elegance with family friendly conveniences, magnificent gardens, exceptional privacy and invaluable off-street parking in one of Dublin’s most sought-after residential addresses.
