Description

Felicity Fox is delighted to present 6 Mountpleasant Avenue Upper to the market, a beautifully presented two-bedroom, double-fronted end-of-terrace home that perfectly combines period charm with modern comfort. Presented in turn-key condition, it is an ideal choice for first-time buyers, or those looking to downsize without compromising on character or location.
Steeped in local history, No. 6 was once the family home of the Hackett family, founders of Dublin’s renowned Bretzel Bakery in Portobello. Dating from the 1840s, this elegant Georgian residence has been thoughtfully refurbished and modernised, including complete rewiring, new plumbing and upgraded insulation, while preserving the timeless features that make homes of this era so special. The property is held under full freehold title.
Natural light pours through cleverly positioned skylights, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout. Original period details, including double-glazed sliding sash timber windows, cast-iron fireplaces, a wood-burning stove, antique cast-iron bath and original timber flooring, sit effortlessly alongside bespoke floating bookcases and a tasteful Farrow & Ball colour palette.
Set back behind a charming private front garden, the home opens into a welcoming entrance hall leading to a spacious open-plan dining area, a generous living room and a fully fitted kitchen with direct access to a sunny, low-maintenance rear courtyard—perfect for morning coffee, outdoor dining or simply unwinding.
Upstairs are two generous double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom with a beautifully restored antique cast-iron bath and separate shower. The principal bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe, while the second bedroom provides access, via pull-down stairs, to a substantial fully floored attic (approximately 40 sq.m.), offering exceptional storage.
A secure gated side passage provides convenient storage for bicycles and bins, with direct access from the street to the rear courtyard—an invaluable feature for city living.
Located on a peaceful residential street in the heart of Dublin 6, this home offers an enviable lifestyle with the villages of Ranelagh and Rathmines just a short stroll away. Dublin city centre is within a 15-minute walk or a quick LUAS journey, making commuting effortless.
Belgrave Square, Dartmouth Square and Mountpleasant Square provide attractive green spaces close by, while Ranelagh LUAS Station and the Grand Canal Greenway are both within a five-minute walk. Whether you’re taking your first step onto the property ladder or looking for a stylish home that’s easy to maintain in one of Dublin’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, 6 Mountpleasant Avenue Upper is a rare opportunity.
