68 Brighton Square, Rathgar, stands proudly on one of the loveliest squares in Dublin. The spacious Victorian red brick four bedroomed home retains many original features of the era and the appeal is undeniable. The Square, which is located between Rathgar Avene and Terenure comprises a series of period houses set around a triangular green, to which each resident has a key. It has a communal garden, a vegetable patch and four tennis courts and boasts of being the birthplace of James Joyce.
The property is a beautiful red brick bay fronted house of size 203 sq.m./2,185 sq.ft. It is well set back from the road and surrounded by wrought iron railings/ mature hedging and a pedestrian gate. Many of the original features are still present, including 12 ft high ceilings and a wonderful mahogany staircase which draws the eye up through the whole house. The dining room to the front is of exceptional proportions and overlooks the Square. There is a wonderful feature fireplace with insert stove. The living room to the rear is a beautiful room which enjoys great views of the home's pièce de résistance, the south facing mature garden, which stretches to 120 ft (approx.). The view is afforded by a very attractive huge arched window with a stunning glass panel. The garden is laid out in a mixture of patio areas, lawns and flower borders coupled with a mixture of some beautiful specimen trees and shrubs. There is a lovely glazed conservatory room located off the living room where one can sit and enjoy the sunshine and the stunning garden. The kitchen has a great Aga stove, as one would expect, coupled with lots of storage. There is a study located above the kitchen, which was most likely used as a servant's bedroom. The shower room completes the accommodation at ground floor level.
At first floor level there are three large double bedrooms, the family bathroom and a separate wc. The family bathroom comprises both bath and shower. The second floor level comprises a fourth bedroom with a fantastic private terrace which overlooks the splendid garden, a haven of tranquillity at the top of the house! There is a great sense of space and light throughout the house. There is side access to the rear garden, a builder's dream, there being strong precedent in the area to extend this beautiful property to one's own specification and individual needs or even to construct a separate building.
Rathgar Village, a highly sought-after location, boasts a host of small independent stores and boutiques, specialty food shops, cafes and artisans all of which add to the local charm and appeal. There is an excellent choice of secondary schools in the area including The High School, Rathgar, Stratford College, Terenure College and Alexandra College. National Schools include Rathgar National School, Zion Parish Primary School and Stratford National School. Located just three kilometres from St. Stephen's Green, the home is a reasonable commute to the city centre making this a popular choice for those working in the Central Business District. Sporting enthusiasts will enjoy being within easy reach of Milltown Golf Club and both Rathgar and Brookfield Tennis Clubs as well as LA Fitness. The David Lloyd Sports and Fitness Centre at Riverview is also just a short drive away. Transport is well serviced by direct bus routes into the city as well as the LUAS line.
