4 of a kind: Picture-perfect Edwardian redbricks around Dublin
From a beachside beauty to a safe house used by Michael Collins.
WANT A SPACIOUS HOME without the hassle of a large site? These terraced Dublin charmers could be for you.
Edwardian homes date back to the turn of the twentieth century, though all properties profiled here have moved with the times. Snug on their leaf-lined streets, these spots are perfect for families who want a quiet living area that’s still close to the city.
Here are four of our favourites…
North Circular Road, Dublin 7
This three-bedroom property certainly has plenty of kerb appeal, but this is a property that’s beautiful inside and out. Located in welcoming Dublin 7, it’s a ten-minute walk from Smithfield LUAS stop, close to several Dublin Bus routes, and has on-street parking included.
Inside, this character-filled property features two bright, open-plan receptions rooms, each with their own feature fireplace. Upstairs, there are three beautiful bedrooms, as well as a second bathroom, and brand new gas-fired central heating keeps the place cosy throughout.
Clontarf, Dublin 3
Fancy living in a place used as a safe house by Michael Collins? Then this Clontarf property is for you. It was here that Collins met with intelligence operatives during the War of Independence, but the property has undergone a considerable upgrade since. Now, original period features like fireplaces and high ceilings liven up a beautifully designed four-bedroom property.
The open-plan living space gives way to a decked area at the back, and the upstairs are boasts four bedrooms and a spectacular tiled bathroom. The property is a short walk from fashionable Clontarf and is near to both bus and DART links to the city centre.
Sandymount, Dublin 4
Only a few minutes from Sandymount Strand, this three-bedroom property is in a lovely location, offering both the tranquility of the seaside and the amenities of the city. It’s walking distance from Sandymount DART station, linking you to the city, but this property is also a stroll away from the quiet, picturesque Sandymount village.
The property is recently refurbished and is deceptively spacious, boasting a fabulous open plan kitchen/living room area. The back of the property gives way to a well-tended green space and just behind that, convenient and safe off-street parking is available to the homeowner.
It’s on the market for €1,150,000.
Rathgar, Dublin 6
This Edwardian beauty stands out from the crowd for a very good reason: at 180sq m/1937 sq ft, it is considerably larger than any neighbouring houses on the stylish Wesley Road. Renovated and extended with care, the property boasts three bedrooms: one of which enjoys the privacy of an entire floor.
The ground floor and first floor bathroom have underfloor heating, a welcome luxury on chilly mornings, and the bathroom also houses a Jacuzzi bath. This property is a short walk to Rathgar village and its many shops, restaurants and local services, and is also close to the gorgeous Palmerston Park.
