SET OVER THREE floors, with six bedrooms and a 5,167 sq ft floor area, this Rathgar townhouse certainly has no shortage of space.
Despite its expansive size though, every element of the property follows the same welcoming, vibrant design aesthetic, giving it a warmth and cosiness that’s often lost in a larger property.
Built in 2007, there’s an elegant redbrick facade outside, with electric gates, a landscaped driveway, and a manicured lawn.
A rear patio and gazebo complete the outdoor area, making the back garden the perfect spot for al fresco dining or entertaining.
Travel fanatics will find plenty to please them in the current owner’s interior decor, with furniture and finishings sourced from every corner of the globe. Speaking to the Irish Times in 2015, owner Virenda Randa, a native of Nepal, named a few of his favourite design elements – including his Indian silk rugs and a four-part wooden wall panel imported from Thailand.
He also favoured a set of porcelain urns from Las Vegas, and pieces from the St Tropez-based artist Ivan Jovanovic.
On the home’s ground level, an entrance hall with a wide-set Victorian staircase opens onto a Clive Christian kitchen/casual dining area, a large bar, a drawing room, dining room, reception room and utility room.
The first floor features a master bedroom with its own walk-in wardrobe, shoe room, bay window and en-suite bathroom, plus two more double bedrooms with their own en-suite bathrooms. Additionally, the main family bathroom features a sauna, steam room and a Jacuzzi bath.
The property currently features three dedicated bedrooms, but there’s easily scope to convert two reception rooms and a gymnasium into three more, should the new owners wish to do so.
Rathgar has the double benefit of being just a 15-20 minute drive from Dublin city centre, while also enjoying a real sense of suburban tranquillity. The village features a variety of shopping, dining and sports amenities, with a range of schools in the area too.
52 Orwell Park, Rathgar, Dublin 6 is on sale for €3,500,000 with Savills Dawson St via Daft.ie. Viewing by appointment.
