TUCKED AWAY ON a peaceful cul-de-sac just moments from the bustle of Phibsborough Village, this exquisite red-brick Victorian villa is a lesson in timeless design and modern touches. With its elegant proportions, meticulous restoration and thoughtful updates, this 100 m² home is your chance to own a slice of Dublin’s architectural heritage without the need to renovate.
From the moment you step through the front door, it’s clear that this is a home of great quality. The entrance hall sets the tone, with Canadian red oak floors, handcrafted wall panelling and an antique chandelier casting a warm glow over the oak staircase. Every detail has been considered, from the bespoke radiator covers to the perfectly restored period features that define each space.
The kitchen is a celebration of craftsmanship, blending rustic charm with practicality. A restored brick fireplace with a spalted beech mantel and a classic Waterford Stanley stove provides a welcoming focal point. French doors lead to a sun-soaked, south-facing courtyard garden, fully paved for low maintenance and complete with outdoor plug sockets, a tap and a garden shed.
The grand living room is a standout feature with its 13.5 foot ceilings, original coving and custom-built 10 foot bookshelves that frame a charming Henley multi-fuel stove. It’s a space designed for both quiet relaxation and stylish entertaining, filled with natural light from double-glazed sash and tilt-turn windows that marry energy efficiency with heritage appeal.
Up a few steps, the first of the home’s two bathrooms continues the Victorian theme with a high-level cistern toilet, traditional sink and a striking cast-iron fireplace which is a rare feature in a bathroom these days.
Behind the kitchen lies a serene double bedroom, complete with fitted wardrobes and an indulgent en suite bathroom. The bathroom impresses with its freestanding bath, rainfall shower and traditional fixtures.
Upstairs, two further bedrooms feature original cast-iron fireplaces and bespoke joinery, maintaining the home’s continuity of style while providing bright, comfortable spaces for family or guests.
Beyond its walls, the property enjoys an enviable location. Phibsborough’s thriving village atmosphere, with its independent cafés, pubs and boutiques, is just a short stroll away. Excellent transport links, including the Luas and several buses, make commuting effortless.
With gas-fired central heating, full insulation and a perfect balance of old-world craftsmanship and modern upgrades, this home offers something truly special. This is a period property that feels utterly modern.
