Well folks, this is it – the house that crushes all my other house dreams. It’s the house that will make any house I ever live in seem inadequate.
Every other Property Porn piece on this website pales in comparison to this house. The house. My unobtainable dream.
But in the interest of complete and utter professionalism, I will write this property porn piece as though my heart isn’t breaking.
Just picture it.
You wake up at 7am because light is beaming through your giant Georgian windows. You don’t mind, you need to get up and water your herb garden anyway.
You stroll into your kitchen where your hungry French bulldog is awaiting a feed. You ponder about what to cook for your brunch. You better not make a mess, the photographers are coming to take pictures of you for your highly anticipated cookbook.
You decide on a simple crepe with a mixed berry compote and honey and mascarpone quenelle. It’s nice to relax.
You snap a picture, #brunch and settle down on your patio with your moleskin to draw up your to-do list.
You’re a beautiful person so you deserve to be living in the most beautiful house in Dublin and this is certainly it.
This dream abode is for sale by Sherry Fitzgerald for €1,285,000.
It’s located on Merrion Road in Ballsbridge, a stones throw from town but still wonderfully close to the coast. The best of both worlds.
The light-filled accommodation comprises is full, from floor to ceiling, of intricate period features, panelled doors and original windows.
The drawing room is to the front of the house with an attractive oak Herringbone floor, period fireplace and cornicing. To the rear of the hall, there is a large pantry room, a boot room with generous storage, and a loo. The garden is obviously south-westerly facing and is accesses through the gorgeous bespoke kitchen. Two sets of French doors open out to the sunny patio area, ideal for al fresco dining. Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, one with an ensuite shower room and a family bathroom off the landing.
Let’s just hope at the very least you enjoy inviting strange writers over for tea.
