Explore this award-winning Dublin 6 home without ever leaving your couch

Take a VR tour of a two-bedroom Ranelagh gem.

If you have Google Cardboard or another VR headset, you can enjoy a full 3D experience by tapping the ‘goggles’ icon. 

SITTING ON RANELAGH’s Richmond Place, this two-bedroom property is a world away from the Georgian architecture typically associated with Dublin 6.

Since it was first built in 2006, Number 10 has won multiple design awards, and was dubbed “exceptional” by the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland.

1 Daft Daft

The unusual interlocking design of the home makes it a perfect fit for what could have been a tricky corner site.

Upon stepping into the house, you meet a crossroad of sorts, with steps down to the living dining area and the kitchen directly in front of you.

Designed in stainless steel and oak, the galley-style kitchen is a striking first view. There’s a utility room off of it, and the food preparation area overlooks both the living area and the garden.

3 Daft Daft

Outside, there’s a perimeter lawn and more garden to the front – all low-maintenance, but still pretty.

The front garden is bordered by a brick wall that matches the exterior of the property. From here, a gate takes you to the courtyard – a gorgeous “outside room” to relax in.

2 Daft Daft

The two bedrooms are located upstairs, and boast floor-to-ceiling windows, oak floors and a concealed wardrobe each.

In the main bedroom, you’ll find a concertina wall, and has plenty of space.

5 Daft Daft

Elsewhere, the bathroom features a stylish layout and a striking glass ceiling, so feel free to stargaze as you bathe.

Located halfway between Ranelagh and Rathmines, Richmond Place can’t be beaten for location.

The high-end boutiques and restaurants of Ranelagh village are five minutes away, as is the more casual, relaxed Rathmines village. There are two cinemas within walking distance, and the city centre is 15 minutes away.

10 Richmond Place, Off Upper Mountpleasant Avenue, Ranelagh, Dublin 6 is on sale for €895,000 from Sherry FitzGerald Rathmines via Daft.ie. The property is open for viewing on Saturday, April 21st from 11:30-12:15pm.

This virtual reality tour is presented as part of Experience Your World with KBC.

    To my eternal annoyance!

    I have used the Apple Store app in its UK stores and paid for things with it using my Apple ID. Fierce handy!

    Matthew, is there not an Apple reseller in the city ? In the UK, a company called Stormfront have lots of branches in smaller cities and they are an official Apple reseller with stores very similar to Apple’s own.

    So your phone will tell you to go to a store and the fork out €700 to buy a newer version……..

    I think this will work very well will iPhone users. Well done apple, was getting worried that you had lost yourself there for a while!

    If you don’t shop with this retailer or purchase products from their stores why invest effort in criticising them?

    Apparently they are waiting for a “prime location”

    I thought they’d move into where HMV was on Grafton st.

    Places as small as Waterford in the UK(like Brighton and Exeter ) have one, so I don’t understand why there isn’t one in the whole of Ireland.

    this is consumerism going out of control – urging people to buy buy buy .
    the annual or biennial upgrades etc – a near total con trick

    The iBeacon doesn’t enable you to scan and pay for some items, it’s purely for alerting you to products/events based on your proximity.
