A blend of period elegance and modern luxury in Drumcondra for €1 million
59 Drumcondra Road Upper is spread over five levels and is just a walk from the city centre.
IF YOU’RE ON the hunt for a family home with a great connection to Dublin city centre, then check out 59 Drumcondra Road Upper. This impressive terraced residence exudes elegance as soon as you see its facade.
It’s now reached the €1 million mark, which may be no surprise in today’s climate as well as for its location.
On first look, it may seem like the parking in on-street, but a real advantage to this home is the garage, which fits two cars at the back of the house and is accessed by a back lane. This is hugely useful for a terraced home.
The home spans about 175 m² and is laid out over five floors. It’s filled with period features blended with contemporary touches.
As you step into the house, you are presented with a beautiful entrance hall. To the right of the hall is a lounge with an open fireplace and a bay window that connects to a dining room. They have both maintained their period features including high ceilings, coving and ceiling roses.
Towards the back of the house and down a few steps from the hall, there is the main social space of the home; an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area.
The bedrooms are spread over three floors with the main bedroom enjoying its own bathroom and one bedroom has the third floor to itself next to the family bathroom.
One of the highlights of this charming property is the converted attic, which could easily be transformed into a study, or home office. It’s currently home to single bed and has its own bathroom.
Sliding doors from the open plan space step out to the west-facing garden that was professionally landscaped by Griffin Landscape Architect, a firm based in Rathfarnham in Dublin. This serene space captures sunlight all day, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and entertaining outdoors.
For anyone working in the city or beyond, commuting would be a breeze, thanks to the public transport on the house’s doorstep including Drumcondra Station and plenty of buses.
Drumcondra Road Upper is walking distance of Drumcondra’s array of shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants. It’s also close to plenty of green open spaces like Griffith Park and the Botanic Gardens.
