Throughout the property the large Georgian style sash windows flood the rooms with light and when combined with the high ceilings on the entrance level give a sense of grandeur unexpected in a property of this scale. Tree lined Synge Street which was depicted in the film ‘Sing Street’ is widely regarded as one of the most desirable city centre streets on which to reside, combining proximity to the city centre and a host of the city’s finest restaurants and bars it retains a quiet charm due in part to its less trafficked nature. The street hosts an eclectic street party for its residents each year which has become quite the social event. Archbishop Synge after whom the street is named is said to have built the terrace of four houses of which 38 is a part as an investment and for guests while he resided in the Palace of St. Sepulchre (now Kevin Street Garda Station).
