Daft.ie Daft.ie EVERY SO OFTEN, the opportunity to grab a renovation project that will make you a custodian of Dublin City’s architectural landscape presents itself. And that’s exactly what the person who buys 4 Henrietta Street will get. A chance to step back into the very origins of Dublin’s Georgian story, this building was completed in around 1740. It’s attributed to Nathaniel Clements and is one of the earliest and grandest mansions built on the city’s first residential Georgian street. Nearly three centuries later, it still stands as a beacon of architectural heritage. Daft.ie Daft.ie Spread across five levels and extending to an impressive 930 m², the property offers scale, elegance and an instant sense of history. Its classical proportions and soaring ceilings create a striking atmosphere throughout, complemented by original stone and timber floors that have been beautifully preserved. The centrepiece is undoubtedly the sweeping mahogany staircase, dating back to the 1740s, which remains in its original position and is believed to be one of the oldest examples of its kind in Ireland. Daft.ie Daft.ie Inside, 22 rooms provide a wealth of versatile space. The accommodation includes four stately reception rooms, six further living areas and ten bedrooms, offering endless possibilities for family living or guest use. Period fireplaces and ornate plasterwork enhance the historic grandeur, while the garden drawing room showcases exquisite neo-classical detailing. Daft.ie Daft.ie For the past half century, this was the home and studio of a celebrated artist and printmaker, whose creative energy took over the upper floors. Now, it awaits a new custodian to continue its legacy. While modernisation will be required, the bones of this home, its craftsmanship and proportions, are unmatched. Daft.ie Daft.ie Beyond the interiors, a north-facing garden of over 260 m² unfolds, with mature trees and sweeping lawns offering privacy and greenery at the heart of the city. Intriguingly, tunnels run beneath both the garden and front section of the house, a reminder of the property’s layered history and former use. Daft.ie Daft.ie Located just off Bolton Street and Capel Street, Henrietta Street holds a unique place in Dublin’s history, setting the blueprint for the Georgian city that followed. To own one of its finest houses is not simply to acquire a property, but to preserve a piece of Dublin’s cultural and architectural heritage. 4 Henrietta Street, Dublin 1 is on the market for €1,750,000 through MoveHome.
