Open View Saturday 1st March at 11am - 11.30am
Nestled on the picturesque Primrose Street in Phibsborough, this exceptional two bedroom, 75 square meters (approximately 807 sq ft) residence showcases a distinctive yellow brick façade crafted from the renowned Dolphin's Barn bricks, exuding timeless charm and character. Steeped in history, the property has been cherished by the same family for over a century. Originally constructed circa 1910, it received a thoughtful rear extension in 1958, enhancing its space and functionality. A comprehensive renovation in 2013 modernised the home while preserving its classic appeal. This meticulous update encompassed a full electrical rewire, the installation of gas central heating with a new boiler and radiators, and the addition of damp proofing and insulation throughout. The interiors were revitalised with new flooring, plastered and painted walls and ceilings, and bespoke fitted wardrobes and cabinetry. A new downstairs bathroom was also added during this renovation. Further enhancements in 2020 included upgrades to the downstairs bathroom, a new upstairs toilet, fresh interior and exterior paint, and new carpeting on the stairs. Notably, the property boasts a C3 Building Energy Rating (BER), which is excellent for a home of this vintage, reflecting its enhanced energy efficiency. This residence seamlessly combines historical significance with contemporary living, offering a unique opportunity in a sought-after location.
The accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading into a spacious living room at the front of the house. Towards the rear, the bright, east-facing dining room spans the full width of the home. Adjacent to the dining room, is the well-appointed galley-style kitchen. A practical utility room with a wood-effect tiled floor and washing machine provides additional convenience. A fully tiled bathroom, located at the rear of the home completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, Bedroom 1 is generously sized, spanning the full width of the home, and offers a beautiful view of Blessington Basin through its classic sash windows, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. The second double bedroom includes an ensuite.
