IF YOU’RE LOOKING for a city pad with a one-of-a-kind interior, 2 Windsor Terrace may well be worth a place on your ‘must-view’ list. 

On the market for €1,250,000 through Sherry FitzGerald, the three-bed property is located right by the banks of the Grand Canal in Dublin 8. It sits next to Locks restaurant, a neighbourhood favourite for Sunday lunch.

While the exterior features a minimalist design, the interior of No 2 is full of life and personality. Double-glazed sash windows pay homage to its Victorian origins, while a mid-century modern-inspired interior features throughout.

The front door opens directly into the living room, where a custom-made solid walnut staircase and stone effect wall immediately grab the attention.

This room enjoys a great sense of spaciousness, which is further enhanced by the tri-folding glazed doors which lead to the kitchen and dining area. 

The living room boasts plenty of space to unwind and to entertain, with features including a wood-burning stove, polished concrete floors and space under the stairs for a work or study area.

Moving through to the kitchen, this space is immediately impressive. The polished concrete floors continue through to here, while sleek wall units and black granite countertops add to the elegant and sophisticated feel.

To the rear, there’s space for a dining table to comfortably seat eight. Velux windows fill the space with natural light, as do the second set of tri-folding doors which open to the garden. High walls and bamboo and bay trees create a great sense of privacy, with an artificial lawn and patio area ensuring low maintenance. Completing the downstairs accommodation, there’s a utility room off the kitchen.

At first floor level, there are three bedrooms and a walk-in wardrobe. The master bedroom is bright and airy thanks to raised ceilings and a skylight, while two hanging doors made of cast iron and solid timber demand attention. One leads to the en suite bathroom, where there’s a walk-in shower and standalone bath, while the other opens to the walk-in wardrobe.

The second bedroom also benefits from an en suite shower room, while the third bedroom is the smallest of the three and features a built-in wardrobe. 

The new owners of No 2 will find plenty to enjoy around Portobello, including restaurants, cafes, bars and shops. Camden St is a 10-minute walk away, with the Iveagh Gardens and Stephen’s Green slightly further afield. 

With a distinctive interior and a stellar location, 2 Windsor Terrace offers a wonderful place to call home in Dublin city for a wide range of buyers.
