New homes: Contemporary style townhouses and apartments in Rathmines

The Kavanagh brothers of New Generation Homes are launching their latest new homes venture in Rathmines, Dublin 6.

A contemporary scheme, Grosvenor Manor is located on private grounds to the rear of 29-43 Grosvenor Place, off Leinster Road, and consists of five three-bedroom townhouses (124sq m -129sq m), and four two-bedroom apartments (79sq m – 91sq m), which range from € 399,000 to € 797,000 for the showhouse, through estate agent Kelly Walsh Property Advisors.

Designed by Ferreira Architects, the modern complex consists of three two-storey blocks laid out around generous communal gardens and each property comes with a car space.

Four of the five houses have inverted living space, with the sleeping accommodation on the ground floor. The showhouse, decorated by Ventura Design, features lots of swish furnishing that sets off the marble bathrooms and smoked oak flooring.

A particularly impressive feature of the development is that each townhouse has three sizeable terraces – while first-floor apartments have two, with durable decking and privacy glass.

Full-length windows and patio doors flood the rooms with light, as do the windows at soffit height in the living areas.

What makes the development stand out, besides the sleek design, is the sense of space – in the units themselves and communal green areas.

The original site on 0.75 of an acre, which also included 126 Leinster Road – a listed building and coach house, was purchased in 2014 for € 2.6 million.

The 392sq m house, which has been refurbished into six apartments and coach house, is also on the market for € 1.5 million.

Grosvenor Place marks yet another significant development in what has been a busy year so far for Hugh and Greg Kavanagh.
