This truly exquisite period residence offers a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive family home in the heart of Dublin 7. Behind the striking façade of this impressive Victorian red-brick property lies a home of exceptional quality, charm and character. Beautifully presented throughout, the property exudes warmth and elegance, with every detail carefully considered to maximise both space and light.

Extensively and sensitively refurbished since 2015, the home seamlessly blends original period features with high-quality modern upgrades, ensuring both comfort and timeless appeal. Features such as original fireplaces and a magnificent stained-glass window have been lovingly restored, retaining the property’s heritage while enhancing its functionality for contemporary living.

The gracious accommodation begins with an impressive entrance hallway, complete with guest bathroom. Off the hallway are two generously proportioned interconnecting reception rooms, with original fireplaces providing elegant focal points. Steps lead down to a superb kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with an extensive range of units, polished granite worktops and a solid fuel stove. This space opens to a large utility/pantry room, offering excellent additional storage.

On the return level, an elevated stained-glass window fills the stairwell and landing with natural light. This level also hosts a spacious double bedroom and a well-appointed family bathroom. The first floor comprises a substantial landing with additional storage and three generously sized double bedrooms.

The rear garden is a standout feature—beautifully landscaped, highly private and thoughtfully designed to create a tranquil retreat. It provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining, family enjoyment or quiet relaxation. To the rear, there is a large garage with access to a vehicular laneway, along with a separate home office complete with guest WC. To the front, a pedestrian pathway leads to the entrance, bordered by wrought iron railings and a mature, well-planted garden.

The location is second to none. New Cabra Road is just a short stroll from both Phibsborough Village and Stoneybatter, offering a superb selection of cafés, restaurants, shops and amenities. There are numerous highly regarded primary and secondary schools nearby, as well as TUD Grangegorman. The city centre is within easy walking distance, while excellent public transport links include multiple bus routes, the 46A, and the Phibsborough Green Line LUAS stop just two minutes away. The Phoenix Park and the Botanic Gardens are also within a pleasant 20-minute walk.
In summary, this is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a distinguished period home in one of Dublin’s most sought-after and convenient locations—an enviable purchase.
