A truly special own-door duplex apartment, No. 8 is situated within an original Victorian terrace and stands as a notable example of architecture conservation blended with modern residential design. Extending to approximately 115 sq. m. / 1,237 sq. ft. this elegant apartment is unique and is set within a beautifully landscaped development in the highly sought-after Ranelagh, Dublin 6.
Originally the site of St. Annes Hospital, this own door duplex is accessed via a flight of Granite steps leading to a private hall door, offering a rare blend of period charm and privacy. A bright and airy entrance hallway welcomes you into the home.
To the right, the open-plan living area is flooded with natural light from large timber sash windows. Features include a striking marble fireplace with gas insert, high ceilings with attractive cornicing, and timber floors throughout. The fully fitted kitchen is both stylish and functional, offering a range of floor and wall-mounted units, granite worktops, a central island, and an array of integrated appliances. With ample space for a dining table, this area is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A flight of stairs leads to the lower ground floor, where you’ll find three spacious bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes that offer generous storage space. The main bedroom includes a fully tiled ensuite with shower, WC, and wash hand basin, and provides direct access to an outdoor patio — an ideal spot for a morning coffee or a peaceful place to unwind. All bedrooms are generously proportioned, comfortably accommodating double beds, desks, or additional furnishings, making them suitable for family members, guests, or use as a home office. Completing this level is the fully tiled family bathroom, fitted with a bath, WC, and wash hand basin.
The communal gardens at St Anne’s offer a serene and beautifully landscaped retreat for residents. Thoughtfully designed, they create a tranquil environment, featuring a mixture of ornamental planting, paved pathways and open lawn areas. This inviting outdoor area not only enhances the visual appeal of the development but also fosters a sense of community among residents.
