***SOUTH FACING/REAR PEDESTRIAN ACCESS/ORIGINAL FEATURES/EXTENDED TO REAR***

KELLY BRADSHAW DALTON are honoured to present to the market No.51 Carlingford Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 9.

Beautifully extended, full redbrick home and rear access, No. 51 is situated on this much sought after, residential street in the heart of Drumcondra. Lovingly upgraded, restored and cleverly designed, the changes have resulted in bright spacious accommodation and a well laid out floor plan.
Built in the late 1800’s this fine property is simply full of character and charm and is a delightful period house that boasts an array of original features, including wonderful ornate cast iron fireplaces, panel doors with knobs, high ceilings, cornicing and centre rose.

As soon as one approaches No. 51, you will immediately appreciate the idyllic character that this residence presents, adorned with a beautiful iron railed garden to the front and gently arched sash windows, typical of the late Victorian era, that peer out onto the quiet, picturesque street and leaves us anticipating what lies behind the specially commissioned front door.

On entering you are greeted by a superb, large hallway with high ceilings, centre rose and hardwood flooring, that effortlessly sweep throughout the property creating a polished, seamless finish. To your right of the entrance hallway is the formal living room, a wonderful sumptuous “grown up” space, with high ceilings and centre rose, where one could sit in front of the beautiful ornate cast iron fireplace in the evening enjoying your favourite book.

To the rear of the property is a wonderful family room, again boasting cast iron fireplace and ample space to gather with family and friends. This room was opened out to the rear and a fantastic kitchen extension with skylight has been added that really drenches the room in natural sunlight that floods the room from the south facing aspect. The kitchen extension is a wonderful addition. Fully fitted and beautifully presented, the kitchen is a place for the whole family to gather and enjoy. There are double doors from the kitchen that sweep out onto decking and into the landscaped and well cared for, south facing rear garden, another “outdoor room,” where you can entertain in the summer months, dine alfresco or watch the little ones play.

Completing the downstairs accommodation is the separate and cleverly hidden utility room and sleek, modern, fully tiled bathroom with high ceilings, down lighters, walk in triton shower, hand basin and W.C.

Winding our way upstairs, we are greeted by three beautifully presented bedrooms, two double and one single. The single is currently appointed as a home office for those working away from the office. Each of the double rooms retains their original cast iron fireplace with fern design insert, a special touch and a rarity to have.

No. 51 offers any potential purchaser the opportunity to acquire a truly unique home with an abundance of character and old world charm yet offering of the modern conditions we expect of our homes today, in a wonderful tranquil setting.

Location, Location, Location here cannot be understated. Within walking distance of the City Centre and convenient to the numerous shops, cafes, bars and restaurants Drumcondra has to offer. Two of the most renowned coffee shops, Andersons and The Lovely Food Company are both on your doorstep.

The area is very well serviced by a great public transport system, and enjoys easy access to the IFSC, East Point Business Park, Dublin Airport, Mater, Temple Street & Beaumont Hospitals, DCU and Trinity and the M1 & M50 motorways.

Several of Ireland’s most prestigious educational institutions are within walking distance, including St. Patrick’s College of Education, Mater Del Institute of Education and All Hallows College and All Hallows Educate Together. The area is also home to some great schools and creches such as Little Learners as well as Drumcondra National School, Lindsay Road National School and Corpus Christi G.N.S.

The green open spaces nearby and its close proximity to the city makes it a unique location. Drumcondra Station is minutes away and you can walk to the LUAS cross city line. There are also numerous bus routes servicing Drumcondra.

Early viewing of this property is very highly recommended to appreciate all it’s potential.
