KELLY BRADSHAW are delighted to introduce 101 North Road to the market, a charming detached four-bedroom bungalow which has been comprehensively renovated and thoughtfully reimagined, combining the character and proportions of a home dating from circa 1932 with the comfort, specification and finish expected of modern living.
This home gives you an immidate sense that something special has been created. Behind its understated exterior lies a home that has undergone an exceptional transformation, with approximately €256,000 invested in renovation, resulting in a property that is both beautifully presented and entirely turnkey.
The renovation has been comprehensive, with the property totally rewired and replumbed, fitted with underfloor heating, new flooring throughout, a beautiful new kitchen and a newly appointed bathroom. Every element has been considered to create a home that feels fresh, comfortable and contemporary, while retaining the character and individuality that only an older detached property can offer.
The accommodation is exceptionally well proportioned, with four bedrooms providing excellent flexibility for modern family living, guest accommodation or those requiring dedicated space to work from home. The house retains the generous sense of space associated with homes of its era, while the extensive renovation ensures that it is ready to be enjoyed without the upheaval traditionally associated with an older property.
At the heart of the home is the newly renovated kitchen, designed to combine practicality with understated elegance. With contemporary finishes, excellent storage and generous workspace, it is a room that works equally well for everyday family life and entertaining. The overall finish throughout the property is calm and considered, creating a home that feels welcoming from the moment you step inside.
One of the most appealing aspects of No. 101 is its relationship with the garden. Here, a completely separate garden office with its own kitchen provides an exceptional additional space, perfectly suited to today's way of living. Whether used as a home office, studio, or a peaceful retreat away from the main house, it offers a versatility rarely found in a property of this nature.
The garden provides a wonderful extension of the living accommodation, offering privacy, generous outdoor space and the opportunity to create a truly personal setting. Combined with the detached nature of the property, it gives No. 101 a rare sense of independence and seclusion that is increasingly difficult to find.
Adding further versatility is the Shmoera, which can be accessed independently via the side of the property, offering excellent potential to generate an additional rental income. Fully equipped with heating, electricity, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom with shower, it provides a self-contained and comfortable space that is ideal for multi-generational living, accommodating family members while still allowing for a degree of independence.
There is also a fascinating story attached to this particular property. No. 101 dates from circa 1932, meaning that it has been part of North Road for almost a century. While the house itself dates from the early twentieth century, the road on which it stands has a history stretching back considerably further. An historic route northwards from Dublin, North Road formed part of the old coach road connecting Dublin with Slane and Ardee, with the route appearing on Taylor & Skinner's map of the roads of Ireland in 1777. A granite milestone dating from around 1760 remains an evocative reminder of the road's earlier history.
It is this connection with the past that gives No. 101 such a wonderful sense of place. The house has witnessed the transformation of the surrounding area from a largely rural landscape into the established residential setting we know today, yet its detached character and individual setting remain.
And while its history is unmistakable, there is nothing old-fashioned about the house today. Quite the opposite. The renovation has given this characterful property an entirely new chapter, with modern infrastructure, contemporary finishes and a level of comfort that allows the next owners to simply turn the key and enjoy everything it has to offer.
Now for the lifestyle! Life on North Road offers an established setting, a welcome sense of space and individuality while remaining within easy reach of the amenities, transport links and attractions of North Dublin. The location is particularly appealing for families, with a selection of well-regarded primary and secondary schools within the surrounding area, alongside a wide range of childcare facilities, sporting clubs and recreational amenities. The combination of excellent educational options and plentiful opportunities for sport and leisure makes this an ideal setting for family life, while the established nature of the neighbourhood provides a wonderful sense of community.
Everyday convenience is equally well catered for, with shops, cafés, restaurants and local amenities all within easy reach. The surrounding area also offers an abundance of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, with parks, sporting facilities and walking routes providing plenty of space to escape the pace of everyday life. For commuters, the property's location provides straightforward access to Dublin City Centre and the wider road network, while Dublin Airport is also readily accessible. It is this combination of character, space, privacy and connectivity that makes No. 101 such an appealing proposition.
There is something very special about taking a house that has stood for almost a century and giving it an entirely new lease of life. The hard work has been done. The expensive work has been done. The house has been rewired, replumbed, replanned and beautifully finished, while its original character and sense of individuality remain. Now, all that is left is to turn the key and begin to enjoy all that it has to offer. Almost a century after it first became part of this historic stretch of North Road, No. 101 is ready for its next chapter.
