HERE’S A FUN fact – Griffith Avenue in Dublin 9 is one of the longest tree-lined streets without any retail outlets in the Northern Hemisphere. It spans three electoral constituencies as it runs through Glasnevin, Drumcondra and Marino.
Whoever buys this week’s Exclusive Home is bound to share these nuggets of information at some stage or another. 267 Griffith Avenue in Drumcondra is a striking blend of period charm and cutting-edge modern design. This meticulously restored and extended house in Dublin 9 is surrounded by architectural heritage and family-friendliness while being walking distance from the city centre.
This large four-bed, potentially five-bed, home spans about 238 m and has been upgraded for modern life while keeping the fabric and character intact. From the moment you set eyes on its symmetrical redbrick façade, framed by manicured box hedging and a granite cobble-lock drive, you sense that this is a property that has been well cared for over the years.
This central area is a lesson in light and volume. Vaulted ceilings and skylights fill the space with natural light, while floor-to-ceiling glass and retractable sliding doors create a seamless transition to the garden. A sleek quartz island anchors the designer kitchen, flanked by Siemens appliances and handleless cabinets – this is a space that wouldn’t look out of place in a high-end showroom.
Adjoining this impressive area is a chic lounge with a marble-clad gas fireplace and integrated media setup, all enhanced by a mood lighting system that tailors the ambience with a single touch.
Formal living is equally well catered for with two gracious reception rooms connected via pocket sliding doors, featuring bay windows, oak flooring and a stunning marble fireplace.
A separate playroom or office provides flexibility for growing families or remote workers.
The next floor is home to four beautifully appointed bedrooms with bespoke wardrobes. Two enjoy en suite bathrooms, while the remaining two share a luxurious Jack & Jill bathroom. They all have underfloor heating and well-finished tiling.
The main suite feels like a five-star hotel, complete with a gas fireplace, vaulted ceiling and a designer en suite bathroom featuring a double vanity, whirlpool bath and built-in television. A large, floored attic with potential for more adds yet more value to this already impressive property.
The garden is definitely a break away from the city. Spanning 100 ft, the professionally landscaped space includes a large granite patio ideal for summer dining, lush lawns bordered by mature planting and a standout garden room. Vaulted ceilings, dark oak floors, and its own bathroom make this detached retreat perfect as a gym, studio or guest suite. A substantial storage shed ensures functionality isn’t left by the wayside.
The leafy area of Griffith Avenue guarantees a calm yet central setting, that’s just a stroll from Drumcondra village. Families will love the choice of schools and surrounding green spaces, while commuters have the train, DART stations and direct bus routes nearby.
Marrying classic elegance with state-of-the-art upgrades, 267 Griffith Avenue ticks all the boxes for anyone seeking space and style in the heart of north Dublin,
