Number 10 Grosvenor Road is a beautifully presented three storey family home, ideally positioned just a moment's walk from the bustling town of Rathmines. Built in 1859, and designed by famed architect Edward Henry Carson, this five bedroom Victorian townhouse is steeped in history and has been lovingly maintained by its current owners.
Enjoying a prime position on a popular residential road, Number 10 offers substantial, high-potential accommodation totalling 380 sqm / 4090 sqft approx. It occupies a total site of 0.4 acre, retaining its full original garden with mature trees and rear vehicular access via a lane on Grosvenor Place.
Entry is through traditional wrought iron gates to a landscaped front garden with ample gravel off-street parking, and an impressive wide granite staircase leading up to the original hall door. The side carriage house provides a space in which an extension at one or more levels could be added, subject to planning permission.
Generous accommodation is laid out over three levels. The hall level opens to a bright and spacious entrance hall with matching twin arches and original features. An inner hall leads to a kitchen/dining and living room that boast high ceilings, large sash windows, decorative plasterwork, gallery rails, two marble fireplaces and are interconnected with original folding doors. This floor also has a family bathroom and a living room, complete with chandelier and views of the extensive garden. Upstairs there are four amply proportioned bedrooms, which all have original period fireplaces, and a fifth smaller bedroom/office. The staircase continues to a second family bathroom with power shower.
The garden level can be accessed from the front by its own door and has ample opportunity to be converted to a three-bed stand-alone rental unit or reinstated with main residence.
An outstanding feature of this home is the truly magnificent garden offering seclusion with a wealth of mature trees and planting and a secured metal storage shed. The sun-drenched rear lawned garden extends to 0.4 acre which is unheard of in such a central location. The garden is well maintained and stocked with colourful shrubbery and hedgerows ensuring enormous privacy and a private oasis. There is also a suntrap deck area accessed off the kitchen which benefits from day long sunshine.
In summary, 10 Grosvenor Road is a rare opportunity for new owners to acquire a well-appointed, versatile Victorian family home with mature gardens, invaluable off-street parking, in a convenient, well-served location. With some modernisation this home has the potential to be one of the finest in Dublin.
Rathmines is a superb residential location with an abundance of local and nearby facilities and amenities. It is 3km from St Stephen’s Green and is served by excellent transport links. It is also close to coveted local junior and senior schools such as Rathgar Junior School, Rathgar National School, Zion Parish School, Stratford College, St Mary’s College, Alexandra College, St Louis High School and The High School. There are a host of shops, two cinemas and popular restaurants within easy reach and many local public parks and playgrounds nearby include Bushy Park, Belgrave Square, Dodder Linear Park, Harold’s Cross Park and Palmerston Park.
