ON ONE OF Dublin 4’s most coveted roads to live on, 26 Belmont Avenue is a beautiful red-brick period home with super scope for renovation. Spread over 209 m and arranged across three levels, this classic residence combines elegant proportions with immense potential for reimagining.
Positioned just moments from the heart of Donnybrook and within easy reach of Ranelagh, the property enjoys a setting that balances tranquil residential living with access to everything the capital has to offer.
Behind attractive granite steps and wrought-iron gates, the house immediately conveys its period pedigree. Inside, a welcoming entrance hall leads to a gracious drawing room overlooking Belmont Avenue. High ceilings and generous window proportions enhance the sense of light, while original detailing offers a reminder of the home’s late-Victorian heritage.
A series of subtle level changes creates architectural interest throughout the ground floor. To the back, a spacious dining room currently arranged as a bedroom with an en suite bathroom. It also enjoys views across the garden. Beyond lies a breakfast room and kitchen, alongside a shower room and guest facilities, all offering clear potential for redesign into an open plan living space suited to modern family life.
The upper floors provide total flexibility. The first floor hosts three well-proportioned bedrooms, including one with en suite bathroom, in addition to a kitchen and living area. The second floor accommodates a further bedroom, kitchen and shower room, making it ideal for guest quarters, au pair accommodation or independent family living. A cellar and plant room at basement level adds practical storage space.
While the property requires updating, its generous footprint and structural layout provide an outstanding canvas for great enhancements.
A particular highlight is the impressive back garden, extending to 30 metres. Enjoying excellent southerly sunshine, this expansive outdoor space offers tremendous opportunity for landscaping, an extension or a garden room.
Rare for such a central address, the property also benefits from valuable off-street parking to the back, accessed via Belmont Gardens.
The appeal of this address extends well beyond the front door. Donnybrook and Ranelagh offer a vibrant mix of independent boutiques, cafés and renowned restaurants, while green open spaces at Herbert Park are just a short stroll away.
You’d also be within easy reach of the RDS Arena and the Aviva Stadium, as well as prestigious clubs including Elm Park Golf & Sports Club and Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club. The UCD Sports Campus is also nearby. A wide selection of highly regarded primary and secondary schools are within convenient reach, and Dublin city centre is easily accessible with public transport.
With its classic red-brick façade, generous proportions and magnificent garden, 26 Belmont Avenue is a chance to craft a bespoke home of distinction in one of the capital’s most well-known addresses.
26 Belmont Avenue, Donnybrook, Dublin 4 is on the market for €1,595,000 through Lisney Sotheby’s.
