Reside in Rathmines

33 GROSVENOR PLACE, RATHMINES, DUBLIN 6 €850,000

33 Grosvenor Place is an extended three-bedroom Edwardian home with 121sqm of living space and an attic conversion of 24sqm.

On the ground floor, there are two inter-connecting reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfast room.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, one of which is en suite, plus the family bathroom and attic conversion, currently used as a bedroom.

The house retains many period features including original timber floors, coving, picture rails, bay windows and handsome Edwardian fireplaces. The front garden is well-screened from the road, while the small rear garden is nicely private.

Grosvenor Place connects Leinster Road and Grosvenor Road, and is only a short walk from Rathmines, Rathgar and Ranelagh.

Rathmines is very much on the up these days, thanks in part to a major upgrading of the Swan shopping centre which is now home to a smart branch of Dunnes Stores (food and homewares) as well as Fallon & Byrne and The Hopsack. Within a short walk are Connolly’s fishmongers and Dublin 6’s favourite butcher, Lawlor’s. Good eating is to be found at the Pot Bellied Pig and Hey Donna, and there are an abundance of coffee shops.

Cinema fans are well-catered for by the Omniplex and the swanky Stella, where you can have cocktails while you watch the movie.

Schools in the area include Kildare Place, Scoil Bhride, Rathgar Junior, Rathgar National, Sandford Park, Alexandra College, Gonzaga, St Louis and St Mary’ s. There are regular bus services to the city centre through Rathmines and the Luas stop in Ranelagh is a 10-minute walk away. AGENT: Sherry FitzGerald (01) 496 6066
