Clarendon 46 Terenure Road East is without doubt one of the most exciting properties to come to the market this year in Dublin. Clarendon is a gracious and imposing detached double fronted 6 bedroom Victorian home dating from c. 1843 and extending to 373 sq.m./4,015sq.ft. It enjoys an enviable position beside Rathgar village in the heart of Dublin 6. The entire property has recently been superbly renovated, restored and transformed with great flair by its owners and 21st century craftsmen to exceptional standards, successfully harmonising the elegance of the original Victorian house with the refinements and technology of the new, a striking collaboration. The owners were adamant that the full glory of the elegant reception rooms be enjoyed to the full, and achieved this by having the kitchen dining and main living room at this level.
The presentation, flexibility, accommodation and gardens combine to make Clarendon a unique home. The interior is delightful with rooms of elegant proportions, superb reception rooms, family and living rooms, bedrooms and bathroom areas are arranged over 3 floors, all enhanced by original period detail and modernised with great sensitivity to the original Victorian home using the finest materials throughout.
