WITH A BEAUTIFUL redbrick exterior and a private front garden that’s rich in mature trees and shrubbery, 67 Garville Avenue Upper makes a superb first impression.

The four-bed Victorian property measures 2,200 sq ft over two storeys and boasts many original period features, including grand fireplaces, solid wood flooring, and ornate cornicing and coving. 

The interior is both elegant and charming, with plenty of space to entertain and to unwind. The main reception room is located off the hallway and benefits from ample natural light thanks to two sash windows with shutters, while a magnificent marble fireplace adds a cosy feel.

The grounds at No 67 are particularly impressive, with a 75ft south-facing garden to the rear. There’s a patio area here for dining al fresco, while the majority of the garden is laid in lawn.

For buyers who are looking to be close to the city centre without having a long commute, this period property is ideally located. Rathgar, Rathmines and Terenure are each within a 20-minute walk, while the drive to St Stephen’s Green will take about the same amount of time.

There’s a great selection of schools and sports clubs nearby, as well as cafes, restaurants and shops, meaning you’ll never be far from whatever you might need.
