Nestled on one of South Belfast’s most charming and lesser-known tree-lined avenues, this elegant three-storey Victorian townhouse seamlessly blends timeless period character with modern family living. Thoughtfully extended and meticulously updated, the property offers four generous double bedrooms and a refined interior filled with original features and contemporary style.
The heart of the home is an impressive kitchen and dining area, beautifully extended and flooded with natural light from a striking feature roof-light and floor to ceiling windows. This space has been carefully designed to offer both functionality and aesthetic appeal—perfect for modern family life and entertaining.
Period details have been thoughtfully restored and enhanced throughout, most notably the reinstated sliding sash windows at the front, adding authenticity and charm. The clever redesign of the first floor return has introduced a highly practical utility space, complementing two sleek, modern bathrooms.
Outside, the south-facing, courtyard-style front garden has been tastefully landscaped to provide a tranquil retreat, framed by mature trees that line the avenue. Despite its peaceful setting, the vibrant Ormeau Road is just a short three-minute stroll away.
This is a rare opportunity for discerning buyers seeking a beautifully restored period home that delivers on both character and the practicalities of 21st-century living.
