20 Waterloo Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, D04E0P9

DNG is delighted to launch 20 Waterloo Road, an instantly striking and most appealing period residence located on the highly regarded Waterloo Rd. This charming three storey over garden level home has been beautifully restored and lovingly maintained over the years and is in wonderful condition, ensuring a comfortable and stylish living experience for the next owners. No 20 offers the perfect blend of old-world character and contemporary living in a prime city location, nestling in the heart of one of Dublin's most prestigious, convenient and sought-after areas. Beyond the elegant façade, the internal accommodation extends over four spacious levels (plus attic room): At Hall level, there is a gracious entrance hall, a kitchen/breakfast room with a sun-drenched raised terrace, a formal dining room and a guest WC. A study/office, overlooking the rear garden, is located on the return to the first floor. On the first floor, there is an exquisite drawing room, spanning the width of the house and overlooking the front garden towards leafy Burlington Rd. This opens through folding doors to a relaxed living room overlooking the rear garden. The return to the second floor looks out over a small, tiled terrace with views over the rear garden and south-east Dublin. On the second floor, there are three generously proportioned bedrooms and a large family bathroom. There is a well-lit landing leading to the spacious attic room and the adjacent full bathroom. At garden level, there are a further two generous bedrooms (the one to the rear offering direct access to a sheltered but sunny patio and currently used as a relaxation room/gym), a generous shower room, large utility room and access to a further sunken sunny terrace at the front. The garden level of this property could lend itself well to a self-contained unit with its own entrance from the front terrace. This fantastic home further boasts an array of period features such as marble fireplaces, ornate ceiling coving, centre roses, original sash windows and working shutters. The gardens to both front and rear of this fine home are most impressive. The house is well set back from the road with ample secure parking behind electric wrought iron gates in a smart cobble lock driveway. Tall mature beech and escallonia hedging offers maximum all year-round privacy to the lawned area and the front sunken terrace, where one can enjoy the sun late into the evening. The rear garden is landscaped, with trees and well stocked herbaceous border and flanked by solid tall granite walls. It is largely laid out in lawn with a paved suntrap patio at the back and sheltered but sunny sunken terrace at the house. Steps from the terrace outside the kitchen give access to the garden. Original granite steps from the hall level lead down to the rear sunken terrace.
