COMBINING AWARD-WINNING ARCHITECTURE with a peaceful village setting, No. 3 Louis Lane is a beautifully designed mews home nestled in the heart of Dublin 6. With a sleek, modern layout, luxurious finishes and proximity to Rathmines and Ranelagh, this property is as much about lifestyle as it is about comfort.

Built by McCullough Mulvin Architects and located in a quiet corner of Rathmines, this spacious, move-in-ready home is filled with modern amenities in exceptional living spaces and it has a sun-filled garden oasis to boot.

Just off Leinster Road, this unique home offers a perfect blend of style, space and convenience. Built in 1999, this award-winning house has been cleverly crafted to take full advantage of its sunny south facing garden and give, whoever is lucky enough to live there, a truly contemporary living experience.

Comprising 186m² of living space, this deceptively spacious mews home is in perfect nick, with recent upgrades ensuring it meets the highest standards. The standout feature of this property is its reverse layout, where the traditional two-level design has been turned on its head. The bedrooms are located on the ground floor, while the main living areas are elevated to the first floor, flooding the space with natural light and offering stunning views of the garden.

When you enter, you’re greeted by a welcoming reception hall that leads to three well-sized bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom is a peaceful retreat, complete with an en suite bathroom and large floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto the garden. The two other bedrooms are equally spacious and bright, perfect for guests or family members.

Upstairs is where the real magic happens. Spanning an impressive 54 feet in length, the open plan living, kitchen and dining space is truly striking. High ceilings, wide-plank maple flooring and large picture windows create an airy, light-filled space that’s perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. The south facing aspect ensures the space is bathed in sunlight throughout the day, and a stylish open fireplace adds warmth and ambiance for those cooler evenings.

The kitchen is ideal for any keen cook as it features bespoke cabinetry by Glenwood Studios, high-end appliances and stunning ‘cassata’ quartz countertops that add a splash of vibrant colour. With top-tier brands like Neff, Kuppersbusch and Zanussi, you’ll find every modern convenience you could want. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet meal at home, this space offers both style and function.

One of the home’s most appealing features is its seamless connection to the outdoors. A beautiful ‘Cape Cod’ style staircase leads from the living area directly to the sunny, south facing garden below. The garden itself is a tranquil retreat, featuring an easy-care AstroTurf lawn, raised beds filled with mature trees and a lovely decked area perfect for outdoor dining or lounging in the sun.

Its stunning design and location aside, this home is packed with practical features that make daily living a breeze. Off-street parking is provided by a private carport, while double-glazed windows, upgraded gas-fired central heating and a new fibreglass roof (installed in 2021) ensure energy efficiency and comfort throughout the year. Recent renovations in 2022 and 2023 include upgrades to the kitchen, bathrooms and new wide-plank oak flooring in the hallway and one of the bedrooms.

While No. 3 Louis Lane offers a peaceful, tucked-away location, it’s just a stone’s throw from the vibrant villages of Rathmines and Ranelagh. You’ll find everything you need within walking distance, from the Swan Shopping Centre and its array of boutiques and cafés to iconic local spots like Stella Cinema and Slattery’s Pub. For fitness lovers, Swan Leisure Centre and Rathmines’ many parks and tennis clubs are all nearby.

Families will love being close to excellent schools, including St. Louis, Kildare Place and Gonzaga College. And with both Beechwood and Ranelagh LUAS stops within a 10-l minute walk, plus convenient bus routes and the AirCoach airport service, getting around Dublin or further afield couldn’t be easier.
