This Ballsbridge home is on the market for €1.25 million

Situated in an enviable spot within walking distance of Dublin city centre, 70 Haddington Road is a large Georgian home that nicely balances its period details with contemporary style.

You enter the home up a flight of stone steps, through the front door with its characteristic fanlight. The hallway has a wooden floor and decorative archway, and leads to the left to the interconnected drawing and dining rooms.

The drawing room sits to the front of the house, and features polished wooden floors, ceiling cornicing, a sash window with shutters, and a fireplace. Folding doors lead through to the dining room, a great space for entertaining which overlooks the rear garden. Also on this level is a bathroom and one of the four bedrooms.

The kitchen is situated on the garden level of the home. Recently fitted, it’s bright thanks to French doors that lead to the back garden, while the adjacent breakfast room has an exposed brick hearth which gives the space character. There is also a utility room and home office space on this level.

On the first floor are the remaining three bedrooms, including the main bedroom which has a sash window and a fireplace.

Outside, to the back of the house there is a paved, courtyard-style rear garden that would work well for al-fresco dining.

As well as being within walking distance of the city centre, there are many popular shops and restaurants in the nearby area, while both the DART and LUAS are close by, so you can easily access the rest of Dublin.
