26 Charleston Avenue is a superb double fronted Tudor style home, full of period charm and character. Constructed circa 1880, the property boats stunning stained glass windows, ceiling height and period coving.
The current owners bought the property in 2006 and undertook a complete modernisation of the property including the installation of zoned central heating. The property has since been upgraded regularly over the years with the installation of built-in alcove storage, built-in wardrobes, a bike shed, custom built shelving under the stairs and a home office. A highlight of this home is the rear garden. The owners extended the garden some years ago by the acquisition of an adjacent garden to the back of the property. In the process, they discovered a stunning hand cut granite boundary wall which had been hidden by plaster and overgrown ivy. Two steps lead to this upper garden which is light filled and a true gem in the middle of this residential area.
The property is located on a cul de sac, equidistant between Ranelagh and Rathmines and has all consequent amenities on its doorstep. Transport links include the Luas a short walk away, recently upgraded bus links from adjacent Charleston Road and multiple bus routes from Rathmines. The Airport Express coach leaves from Castlewood Avenue, a five-minute walk away and owners have residents on-street parking on Charleston Avenue.
Oozing with curbside appeal, the entrance is enclosed by railings and a gate, and a paved path leads to a veranda style entrance. Set behind a Red Robin hedge and planting, the property has a tranquil and leafy aspect as you enter. The owners have installed discreet bike stands and a hidden space for bins. Welcomed into a warm and inviting entrance hall, off which there are two wonderfully spacious reception rooms, currently in use as the drawing room and dining room. The drawing room offers dual aspect, running from front to rear with wonderful square bay window with feature stained glass and French doors leading out to the garden. A couple of steps lead from the dining room down to the custom-built kitchen, which also offers dual aspect windows to the rear and side, and French doors onto the Indian sandstone paved patio.

Upstairs there are four excellently proportioned bedrooms, one en suite, a family bathroom and home office. The bedrooms are complete with many period features to include fireplaces and wonderful ceiling heights. The main family bathroom offers a feature free standing bath with legs, a bespoke vanity unit and old-style loo in keeping with its era.

The rear garden is wonderfully landscaped with two patios, one on the original garden and one on the extended upper garden. The garden is wonderfully lit at night and provides an excellent space for entertaining and for children to play during the day.
