We’ve all sang along the words ‘On Raglan Road, of an autumn day…’ at one stage or another but you wouldn’t mind being on Raglan Road at any time of the year if you were coming home to this impressive Victorian era home in the Ballsbridge suburb.
Number 49 Raglan Road is a stunning 4 bed home which offers 348.5sqm of living space.
The property has been refurbished and restored with great flair and meticulous attention to detail in recent years and is a fantastic example as to how the elegance and period detail of the Victorian era can seamlessly combine with the practical and contemporary comforts and conveniences required for modern day living.
The accommodation is made up of a gracious hall, back hall, dining room, magnificent fully fitted kitchen, a spacious hall, an understairs guest WC, a study/library, a storage/wine cellar, a living room, laundry room and home office/study.
On the first floor there is also a main bedroom and sitting room, as well as a bathroom while on the second floor there are three further bedrooms and a shower room. There is also a further shower room on the top floor.
As well as the incredible residence, the appeal of 49 Raglan Road is further enhanced by the magnificent 120ft long west facing back garden which has been superbly landscaped under the watchful eye of award-winning designer Damien Costello, creating a haven of tranquillity.
To the front of the property, there is generous off-street parking for three cars, with the added benefit of an EV charger.
The back garden now provides a decked patio area, accessed directly from the living room. Steps from here lead to a large limestone paved patio which is surrounded by mature box hedging and is ideal for leisurely al fresco dining.
Matching limestone paths border the manicured lawns and lead to a second raised patio area beyond which are two matching garden sheds.
Throughout the beautifully landscaped gardens are a variety of mature trees, shrubs and box hedging which combined with the 9ft high trellising afford the property tremendous seclusion and privacy.
Situated at the Clyde Road end of Raglan Road, the property enjoys one of Dublin's most sought-after and convenient locations with many of the city's principal amenities within comfortable walking distance.
Just some of these amenities include the extensive recreational facilities provided by the 36 acres of Herbert Park and the numerous cafés', boutiques, speciality shops and restaurants on Leeson Street, Baggot Street and in Donnybrook. Also close by, are Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club, the RDS, now the home of Leinster Rugby, and the Aviva Stadium.
Raglan Road also benefits from having an excellent choice of primary schools, such as Kildare Place, Sandford and St Mary's National Schools close by, as well as some of the city's premier secondary schools including Sandford Park, Gonzaga College, St Conleth's, Muckross Park, Loreto College and CUS to name but a few.
The National Concert Hall, History Museum, Art Gallery and the Royal Hibernian Academy of Arts are also within a pleasant stroll, as is Grafton Street, Dublin's premier shopping street, being the home of many fashion labels, boutiques, Brown Thomas department store and the iconic Bewley's café.
All in all, this is a very rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a stunningly elegant period residence, in walk in condition, on one of Dublin's most sought after and convenient roads.
