This southside house may look unremarkable on the outside but it’s full of amazing surprises.
The three storey period home, which dates back to circa 1784, has an interesting history of being home to Deirdre Kelly, author of Four Roads to Dublin, as well as Thomas Grubb who was a billiard table maker, a clockmaker, and then an optician who diversified into making intricate scientific instruments including telescopes and lenses.
While the facade of the three bedroom home looks unassuming, the inside if filled with quirky features including stunning stained glass windows from Saint Columba's Church (now Ranelagh Multi Denominational School).
The exposed beams in the ceilings and throughout the house give it a charming rustic feel.
While the home has been rewired and plumbed, it still retains certain period features such as original fireplaces, original floorboards, vaulted ceilings, and shutters.
4 Old Mount Pleasant, Ranelagh is priced at €875,000 by Youngs Estate Agents. To view more information please visit Perfect Property.
