Harvard Lodge

Harvard Lodge is a truly impressive double-fronted Georgian residence, superbly positioned on one of South Dublin’s most sought-after residential roads, just a short stroll from the heart of Blackrock Village, yet enjoying an exceptionally peaceful and historic setting.

Behind its elegant façade lies a home of immense charm and character, where gracious proportions, superb ceiling heights and an abundance of period detail combine to create a warm and inviting family home. To the front of the property are two magnificent reception rooms, both beautifully enhanced by tall sliding sash windows with original hand-blown glass, allowing natural light to flood the interiors throughout the day. These elegant rooms provide superb formal and informal living space, ideal for both entertaining and everyday family life.

To the rear of the house is a well-appointed kitchen overlooking the extensive southwest facing garden, together with a utility room and a guest w.c. with shower facilities. Double doors open directly onto the large sun-drenched patio, creating a wonderful flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces and making Harvard Lodge particularly suited to summer entertaining.

Upstairs, the generous landing is a notable feature, complete with a large picture window overlooking the front garden and fitted with attractive timber shutters. There are two spacious double bedrooms to the front of the property, both enjoying excellent natural light and lovely proportions, while a third bedroom is located on the rear return. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the accommodation at this level.

One of the most special aspects of Harvard Lodge is undoubtedly the magnificent southwest facing rear garden. Wonderfully private and secluded, it provides a tranquil oasis rarely found so close to Blackrock Village. Mainly laid out in lawn, the garden enjoys mature planting, excellent privacy and valuable pedestrian rear access.
