No. 13 is a stunning redbrick Edwardian mid-terrace period residence, embodying the elegance and charm of the early 20th century while offering a modern, move-in-ready condition. Located on the prestigious Castlepark Road in Sandycove, this home is not just a residence but a lifestyle choice, set in one of Dublins most desirable neighbourhoods.
Built circa 1900, this family home has retained many of the period embellishments of the Edwardian era, such high ceilings, and ornate ceiling decoration, which contribute to its unique character. The accommodation is generously proportioned and thoughtfully laid out following on from the recent refurbishment and renovation from top to bottom. The ground floor boasts solid oak herring bone and wide plank timber floors and comprises a welcoming reception hall leading into a bright drawing room with a bay window that interconnects with a formal dining room with French doors opening to a granite courtyard. Both rooms enjoy two open solid fuel burning limestone fireplaces, one with a glazed front. At the end of the hall stairs step down to an understairs guest W.C. and into the bespoke, hand painted Newcastle Design kitchen with top of the range integrated appliances. A stunning, bright and airy contemporary extension is a wonderful addition to this quality family home and perfectly blends old world period charm with modern present day living. It enjoys ceiling to floor walls of glass opening out to the landscaped sun drenched west facing garden. There is a utility off the kitchen accessed via a Crittall door and houses the gas fired central heating boiler.
Going upstairs on the first return there is the first of the four double bedrooms. This has a built in desk and wardrobes by Newcastle Design with box shelving and there is also an excellent ensuite shower room. Up to the first floor there are two more double bedrooms off the generous landing with feature skylight and ceiling detailing. The main bedroom is a particularly fine room boasting a bay window and a large range of Newcastle Design wardrobes. This room enjoys an ensuite bathroom with Villeroy & Boch sanitary ware and Porcelanosa tiling. There is also a power shower with monsoon head and oversize tray. Off the second return is a hot press and the fourth and final double bedroom complete with Newcastle Design wardrobes and desk and a similar ensuite to the bedroom below.

There is a purpose built garden room/store while the front offers gravelled off street parking for two cars comfortably, securely positioned behind an electric sliding gate. It is complemented by attractive flower beds and a discreet bin store.
