Description

Situated on one of Dublin’s finest Victorian terraces, prominently positioned overlooking Palmerston Park, a wonderful period family home, within easy reach of St. Stephen’s Green and Dublin city centre.

3 Palmerston Park is a most impressive two storey over garden level family home, boasting a wealth of period detail and robust character indicative of the Victorian era.  The property enjoys elegant accommodation over three floors, extending to approximately 342sq.m. (3,681sq.ft.).  At hall level there is an elegant reception hall with formal drawing and dining room off, the drawing room enjoys pleasant views of Palmerston Park to the front.  The kitchen is located on the rear return.  On the first floor there were originally four bedrooms, however, the accommodation was reconfigured by the present owners to provide three bedrooms, to incorporate a larger master bedroom with en suite and dressing room.  At garden level there are two further bedrooms, a family room and a large 40sq.m. (435sq.ft.) games room to the rear.

Most of the houses on Palmerston Park were built in the 1870s and 1880s and according to the “Four Roads to Dublin” (Deirdre Kelly) No. 3 has enjoyed some notable former residents, including the physicist George Johnston Stoney, who was responsible for introducing the term electron into scientific writing. He was the recipient of the Royal Dublin Society’s Boyle Medal in 1899, being regarded by the Council of the society as the most distinguished Irish scientist living at the time.  In later years Mount Temple School, then known as ‘Ms. Sweeney’s’ gave painting classes to children.  Two of the pupils were the sculptor Melanie Le Broque and her brother Louis Le Broque, the painter. 

Palmerston Park remains one of the most sought after residential addresses in Dublin today. A location of enviable convience, within easy reach of Rathmines, Dartry and Ranelagh.  The LUAS stations at Cowper and Milltown are within walking distance, providing easy access to Dublin city centre.
