Description

This delightful property benefits from a highly convenient and very quiet cul de sac setting along the banks of the Grand Canal. It has a large south easterly rear garden together with the added bonus of a gated communal secret garden to rear which provides the perfect playground for children and adults alike.

The house itself retains all of the original character and many of the original period features including sash windows and shutters, ceiling coving and fireplaces while cleverly encorporating all the modern conveniences necessary for today’s busy lifestyle.

Once over the threshold you are greeted by a well proportioned entrance hall with timber flooring, original ceiling coving and generous bathroom located under the stairs. In to the right lies a charming reception room with excellent floor to ceiling height and an open fire with original cast iron surround. To the rear lies a large open plan living/kitchen/diningroom with wall to wall glazing and sliding glazed doors which lend to indoor/outdoor living. Upstairs there are three generous bedrooms, two doubles and one single, and the family shower room. All bedrooms retain their original cast iron fireplaces and sash windows.

There are generous gardens to front and rear with the rear garden extending to c. 87ft/26.5m. There is rear pedestrian access leading through to a communal secret garden, which is gated from St Anne's Road, where residents have planted vegetables and mature trees and have installed climbing ropes for children to play.
Dolphin Avenue is highly convenient to St Stephen's Green and Grafton Street being just a 20 minute walk away. The immediate area is also host to a range of excellent schools including St Catherine's, Griffith Barracks multidenominational, St Mary's and Loreto on the Green.
