If you don't know it, Rathmines Park is one of the prettiest cul-de-sacs in this part of Dublin 6. While the village's eateries, bars and cinemas are all on the doorstep, it is a private spot that provides a welcome retreat from the melee.
With a former synagogue in one corner, Rathmines Park is an unexpected oasis that feels far from the madding crowds of Rathmines main drag. Set in a quiet cul-de-sac, it features houses on two sides.
Number 3 is a three-bedroom villa-style house that combines period character, generous living space and a central Dublin 6 location.

The 104 square metre, bay-fronted villa-style property has a traditional red-brick façade overlooking a railed front garden. Inside, the layout provides a good balance between living and sleeping space.
The leaded glass front door opens into a hallway with polished timber floorboards.
To the left is the living room, where high ceilings, period detailing and a white marble fireplace give it a traditional feel.
Painted a slate blue, the picture rail is picked out in white.
A set of steps takes you down to the long, bright eat-in kitchen, one of the property's larger spaces.
Extending for around nine metres, it provides room for both dining and day-to-day living, with doors leading out to a small, low-maintenance back garden with a west-facing aspect where there is pedestrian rear access.
The first of the property's three bedrooms is also at this level. The double room has built-in wardrobes.
Upstairs, there are two more bedrooms, another double and a single, along with the family bathroom.
Rathmines Park is situated in Dublin 6, within walking distance of Rathmines village and close to both Rathgar and Ranelagh, and is essentially a lively inner suburb with a residential backbone.
The main Rathmines Road is busy and commercial, with shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and services, while the roads running off it become considerably more residential.
The surrounding area has a wide range of cafés, restaurants, shops and cinemas on the main drag, including the much-loved Stella with its table cocktail service, the ritzy Dunmore and Shaku Maku.
A slew of buses serve the village, including the number 15 which runs through the night. Beechwood Luas stop is just a short walk.
The location is also close to a number of well-known schools, including The High School, Kildare Place National School, St Louis High School, St Mary's College, Sandford Park School and Gonzaga College.
