IT’S HARD NOT to think of Patrick Kavanagh’s famous poem when you spot a home on Raglan Road pop up in the property listings. We’re also willing to bet you’ll be humming the Luke Kelly tune as you read on.
Located on the Pembroke Road side of the historic street, 7 Raglan Road sits in one of Dublin’s most exclusive neighbourhoods – and it has a €3,800,000 price tag to prove it.
Spread over a generous 406 m² of living space, this family home has been restored with love to keep its original features intact. From the entrance hall’s transom window and high ceilings with cornicing to the polished hardwood floors and sash windows with original shutters, every detail exudes timeless elegance.
This beautiful home is accessed through wrought-iron gates leading to a gravel front garden. A set of granite steps lead up to the front door. The grand entrance hall, with its marble flooring and perfect plasterwork, welcomes you in warmly. Off the hall, the double reception rooms — a drawing room and a dining room — have maintained their ornate ceiling cornicing and original hardwood floors. They offer great views of Raglan Road framed by the front garden.
The garden level features a fully equipped kitchen with integrated appliances, an island and a charming fireplace. Double doors lead to the breakfast room at the front and glass doors lead to the garden. This level also includes a utility room, pantry and a lot of built-in storage.
The first floor is home to two spacious bedrooms and a family bathroom. The front bedroom enjoys plenty of natural light from two large windows, while the bedroom to the back looks over the large secluded garden.
The second floor is dedicated to the main bedroom with its luxurious en suite bathroom with corner bath and walk-in shower. There’s also a dressing room and a study fitted with built-in cupboards. Natural light floods the hallway through a skylight and window, creating an airy atmosphere.
The west facing garden is a peaceful place that;s access from the kitchen. A paved patio with a firepit is sure to make outdoor meals a joy. Granite steps lead to a manicured lawn that’s surrounded by box hedging and mature trees.
The RDS and Aviva Stadium are both within walking distance, while Herbert Park is a great amenity with its Sunday farmers market and tennis courts. Top-tier schools like Kildare Place, Muckross Park and Gonzaga College are nearby and esteemed institutions such as Trinity College Dublin, UCD and RCSI are just a short distance away, too.
As it’s in Dublin 4, there’s no question that 7 Raglan Road has excellent public transport links. A bus corridor along Pembroke Road ensures easy access to the city, and Lansdowne Road DART station is just a ten minute walk away.
Anyone familiar with the area will know that Ballsbridge is renowned for its wide, tree-lined streets and elegant Victorian architecture. A chance to experience the perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury, this is city living at its most luxurious.
