Mullery O’Gara are delighted to present this exceptional, extended family home – a beautifully finished and deceptively spacious modern home, ideally positioned within easy reach of Terenure, Rathgar and Rathfarnham villages and just a short stroll from both Dodder Linear Park and Bushy Park.
This outstanding property has been thoughtfully refurbished and extended to the highest standards, featuring a sophisticated, contemporary interior with a focus on quality, comfort and practicality. The recent transformation has created a special home which also benefits from a large 60ft suntrap south facing garden.
In 2020, the property underwent a comprehensive deep retrofit carried out to SEAI standards, resulting in an exceptional BER A1 rating — a rare achievement for a 1950s-built home. Works included a full heating and electrical upgrade, the installation of a Daikin R32 Altherma heat pump, Aereco demand control ventilation system, zoned underfloor heating on the ground floor and high-efficiency radiators upstairs. Additional upgrades include Joule digital temperature controls, triple-glazed windows and doors, 150mm Kore external wall insulation and 400mm Earthwool attic insulation with loft ladder access. The flooring includes 18mm engineered wood throughout the ground floor and preserved original wood flooring upstairs.Spanning approximately 135 sq .m the home offers an impressive sense of space and light throughout, with a modern architectural approach to volume and flow. From the moment you enter, the natural light is striking. The principal reception room seamlessly connects with an expansive open-plan kitchen/living/dining area to the rear — an ideal space for everyday living and entertaining.
The contemporary kitchen with its high ceilings and design-led detailing is the heart of the home. Thoughtfully designed and impeccably finished, it offers both functionality and style, complemented by generous dining and living zones. Bifolding doors open out to the garden, extending the living space outdoors in the warmer months. A fully fitted laundry room and boot room room sits just off the kitchen, while a spacious garage sits to the front - ripe for conversion. Upstairs, there are three generous bedroom and a sleek,modern family bathroom.
The rear garden is a particular feature of the property — professionally landscaped and extending to approx. 90ft in length, it enjoys a directly south-facing orientation ensuring sunlight from morning to evening. The outdoor dining terrace flows seamlessly from the rear extension, creating a natural continuation of the living space and functioning as an outdoor room in the warmer months — perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The garden is bordered to the rear by mature trees, offering a strong sense of privacy, seclusion and greenery, rarely found so close to the city.
Situated in a much sought-after location, the property is moments from the villages of Terenure, Rathgar, and Rathfarnham. A selection of Dublin’s finest primary and secondary schools are within a five-minute radius, while nearby Bushy Park offers a wonderful array of sports facilities and weekend markets. Transport links are excellent with easy access to the city centre, M50 and LUAS. Dodder Linear Park is just around the corner, offering tranquil riverside walks, mature tree-lined pathways and a peaceful escape from city life — a true haven for nature lovers, joggers and families alike.
In summary No 76 is a future-proofed, energy-efficient home, the result of a carefully considered retrofit and extension with high-quality and timeless finishes throughout. Set in a highly convenient location with a wonderfully private, south-facing garden and just a one-minute walk from acres of parkland and riverside walks at Dodder Linear Park.
This home is one of a rare few — with only approximately 3% of houses built in the 1950s/60s nationwide achieving an A-rated BER. Thanks to a comprehensive deep retrofit carried out to SEAI standards, it now offers exceptional energy efficiency, with electricity bills averaging just €30 per month and no additional utility costs. Works included a full heating and electrical upgrade, the installation of a Daikin R32 Altherma heat pump, and an Aereco Demand Control Ventilation system for superior indoor air quality. Comfort is maximised with zoned underfloor heating on the ground floor,energy-efficient radiators upstairs, and Joule digital temperature controls throughout.Triple-glazed windows and doors further enhance insulation and year-round comfort, making this a superb future-proofed home.
