53 Beechwood Avenue Upper, Ranelagh, Dublin 6, D06A2X8

53 Beechwood Avenue Upper is an impressive semi-detached Victorian residence, perfectly positioned on one of Ranelagh’s most sought-after residential roads. Set on a picturesque, tree-lined avenue of red-brick houses, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of community and an enviable address in the heart of Ranelagh. Dating from 1896, the house has been lovingly maintained and exudes warmth and character throughout. A wealth of period features remain, including original fireplaces, ceiling coving, centre roses, panelled doors, and timber floors. The elegant accommodation is approached via a traditional cast-iron railed front garden. On entering, one is immediately struck by the impressive scale and proportions of the home. The ground floor comprises a living room, dining room, breakfast room, kitchen/breakfast room, shower room, and two additional versatile rooms. An extension, added in the 1980s, created a charming courtyard between the main house and the rear return, with access to the walled rear garden and convenient pedestrian side access. On the first-floor return, there is a shower room, a third bedroom, and access to a unique artist’s studio tucked into the eaves — a characterful space with Velux windows providing wonderful light and far-reaching views across Ranelagh’s skyline. At first-floor level lies a magnificent room to the front, spanning the full width of the house. Currently enjoyed as a gracious drawing room, this space was traditionally the principal bedroom. Its generous footprint offers potential for subdivision into a double and single bedroom, or the creation of an ensuite, thanks to the property’s semi-detached layout. To the rear is a further spacious double bedroom. The walled rear garden is a tranquil retreat, enjoying excellent sunlight and privacy — perfect for outdoor relaxation and entertaining.
