A most appealing mid terraced Victorian property that celebrates many features of its era, offering well-proportioned, bright accommodation laid out over three floors. Superbly located in this highly desirable area adjacent to all of the amenities of both Rathmines and Rathgar villages, yet within walking distance of Dublin city centre.
Well set back from Rathgar Road, 169 is a well maintained two-storey over garden level residence extending to approximately 261 sqm (2,809 sq. ft) with mews building to the rear extending to 67 sqm (721 sq. ft) with access onto the laneway to the rear known as Rathgar Place.
A superb family home with off-street car parking to the front and granite steps up to the hall floor front door. There is a gracious reception hall with impressive high ceilings, ornate ceiling cornicing, centre rose, feature architrave, and original polished timber flooring. Off the hallway, there are two very fine interconnecting reception rooms both with period black marble fireplaces and high ceilings, ceiling coving, and centre roses. On the upper floors, there are five bedrooms, or four bedrooms plus a study, a bathroom with shower and WC servicing the very top of the house and a shower room, and separate WC a level below.
On the garden level, there is a self-contained apartment/flat with separate access comprising entrance hall with downstairs WC, large bright kitchen/living room, inner hallway off which there is a home office/study, utility storage cupboard, double bedroom with ensuite shower room off, and double doors leading onto the back patio and on to the back garden.
Outside, the rear garden, which can be approached from both the upper house and the garden level, is a particular selling feature of the property and extends to 30.30m (100ft) in length, with mews residence/mews site to the rear extending to approximately 67 sqm (721 sq. ft) with access out onto Rathgar Place. Mews site currently used as workshop on ground level and storage on upper level, but ripe for renovation into mews residence, as evidenced at several near neighbours.

A largely residential area, 169 is superbly located, offering tremendous convenience being within a very short walk to both Rathmines and Rathgar Villages. Rathgar Village has a host of specialist shops, pubs, delis and boutique eateries. Rathmines, a vibrant young environment, hosts most of the major supermarkets, the refurbished Stella cinema, the Swan Omniplex cinema, Rathmines library, the Swan swimming pool & leisure centre, plus an enviable collection of pubs and restaurants celebrating a wide spectrum of cuisines.
