Lynams are honoured to bring 69 Beechwood Avenue Lower to the market.

An Introduction;
Owners of properties in Beechwood Avenue tend to hold on to them for long periods of time. Number 69 is no different and this property has been sold only three times in its 127 year history, remaining in the current family for over 70 years.The property benefits from a 900 year leasehold from 1st January 1898, thus allowing ample time for a few more lucky owners! The current owner has now decided that its time to downsize to a smaller property in the area and perhaps allow another family to enjoy many of the fond memories and parties that they enjoyed growing up in this house and with all the amenities available in such a sought-after location.

Number 69 was extended some years ago in response to the needs of a growing family, by adding additional bedrooms, breakfast room, enlarged kitchen and adjoining sunroom / greenhouse in addition to a large garage which affords secure off-street parking, a rare feature of houses in the area, with perhaps only three houses in the avenue having such a facility. Of course, disc parking is also available for residents.

About the Area

Over the years, Ranelagh has attracted a number of well-known personalities, including Maureen OHara (who lived in Beechwood Avenue), Michael Collins, Sean MacBride, Maud Gonne and many more.

Historically, Ranelagh became known as such when a popular entertainment venue (now a public park) was established in 1770 and named Ranelagh Gardens after a similar venture of the same name in Chelsea, London. The gardens were intended as a centre for members of fashionable society to meet and promenade, and in many ways, Ranelagh has continued with a tradition of entertainment, albeit with a very modern cosmopolitan influence.

Number 69 is ideally located on the highly desirable Beechwood Avenue Lower, easy access is afforded to all of the local amenities in Ranelagh village and Dunville Avenue. The area hosts numerous shops, boutiques and supermarkets, as well as several well-known bars and restaurants.

The Green Luas line has two stops, one at Beechwood, the other at Ranelagh, each about 5 minutes walk away.

Several bus routes pass through Ranelagh. St Stephens Green is less than 10 minutes by Luas, a bike ride, an easy 10 minutes and if youre feeling more energetic, a walk in 30 mintues.

There are a number of reputable primary and secondary schools including Gonzaga College, Sandford Park and Muckross Park in the locality and easy access to both UCD and Trinity College. All in all, a wonderful home full of period charm with a modern and bright interior in the heart of Dublin 6, that must be viewed to be appreciated.
