Description

Wonderfully positioned overlooking the banks of the Grand Canal lies this truly exceptional three bed residence offering elegant period proportions with top of the range, high-specification, contemporary finishes.

No. 19 is a simply breath-taking end of terrace property with an ultra stylish light-filled interior that successfully retains the grace of the victorian era with many original features intact. It offers a unique and very clever layout designed to maximise the waterfront vista and to provide for entertaining on a grand scale. No expense has been spared in this very tasteful refurbishment which includes bespoke designer kitchen and bathrooms with underfloor heating and a state-of-the-art sound system that filters throughout the house.

Once over the threshold you are greeted by an elegant light-filled entrance hall with crema marfil floor tiling, original fan light and a guest wc under the stairs. In to the left are two generous double bedrooms with high ceilings and fitted Wenge wardrobes. The main bedroom has a very stylish ensuite shower room and a set of french doors leading out to a central courtyard. To the rear of the house lies a large open plan living/kitchen/diningroom with French doors leading out to the central courtyard and the rear patio/carport. The kitchen is bespoke, designed by Invoke Design, with striking Santos Rosewood units, quality integrated appliances and crema marfil flooring with underfloor heating throughout. Upstairs there is a beautifully proportioned reception room with three sash windows providing dual aspect and wonderful views of the Grand Canal. It retains the original fireplace, wood flooring and good ceiling cornicing with feature spiral staircase leading to an attic room which currently houses a large office. Also at this level is a third double bedroom with original fireplace and window shutters together with a show-stopping bathroom featuring a sunken bath, separate oversized shower cubicle and Phillipe Starck fixtures and fittings.

Outside you have the all important off-street parking to rear with electric gates together with a central decked courtyard and a very private front garden, capturing the all day sunlight.

Situated in the heart of the fashionable Portobello district with choice restaurants, coffee shops and delis all on the doorstep and within a 10/15 minute stroll of St Stephen’s Green.
