A dreamy Ranelagh residence that's in walk-in condition – yours for €3.25 million
5 Leeson Park has five bedrooms and a large back garden to boot.
TAKE A WALK around the leafy suburbs of Ranelagh, Rathgar and Terenure and you’ll notice that these areas are awash with beautiful Victorian homes. Rows of grand red bricks, with granite steps leading to the entrances, make up many of the tree-lined streets.
In the heart of Ranelagh, 5 Leeson Park is a property that blends the timeless elegance of the Victorian era with modern comforts, effortlessly. This transformed, extended and refurbished residence is now on the market for €3,250,000, offering five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a total living space of a whopping 342 m²
Aside from its obvious kerb appeal, when you wander through the front door you’re met with an impressive hallway. It surely sets the tone for the rest of the home with its polished wooden floor, archway and a range of well-maintained period details.
Each of the reception rooms at this level are flooded with light thanks to tall sash windows. White marble fireplaces with cast-iron open fires and wide plank wooden floors link these two rooms when it comes to style. Double doors open from one room to the other, making this an ideal open space for entertaining.
The kitchen, by German company Poggenpohl, is minimalist and hardworking. White gloss cabinets offset by grey quartz worktops and an island ensure plenty of workspace, storage and a wonderful flow.
This spacious, open-plan living space benefits from skylights that fill the dining area in natural light while the family room has sliding patio doors that provide access to the landscaped back garden. A fully fitted utility room and a convenient toilet completes this level.
No doubt useful for guests or elderly family members, there is also a bedroom suite with its own bathroom on the garden level.
The upper floors have four double bedrooms, two of which have their own en suite bathrooms. The largest suite has large sash windows, a walk-in wardrobe, and a luxurious bathroom. The second bedroom includes a study area and dual aspect windows with garden views.
The back bedrooms in this house all have views over the long and secluded garden below that stretches 120 feet. The outdoor space is in great nick providing an excellent jumping off point for anyone with green fingers.
With Ranelagh village just down the road, Leeson Park close to great cafés, restaurants and bars, plus plenty of parks and access to the rest of Dublin via bus and Luas.
No. 5′s next owner will have their pick of primary and secondary schools in the area, while the city centre is a mere ten minute walk away. Leeson Park might just be the Dublin dream of period style, quiet village life and city living.
5 Leeson Park, Dublin 6 is on the market for €3,250,000 through Turley Property Advisors.
