Near Croke Park stadium and around the corner from Drumcondra railway station, this redbrick terraced house is quaint, full of character and ideally located.
Built about 100 years ago, the home has retained its resale value since then and still demands a fair price in a rocketing market.
For sale for €365,000 through Lisney, these terraced redbricks don’t come up too often and tend to attract lots of interest.

Original features
All of the original features that you would expect of these homes still remain: high ceilings, open (and functioning) fireplaces in most rooms and large sash windows with the original wooden framework.
The current owners, who are moving to a larger place in the same area, have lovingly restored and renovated where necessary: new double-glazed windows, a new boiler, a wooden deck patio and a duck egg blue mosaic-tiled bathroom.
The entrance hallway is bright and the stairs were recently carpeted; two of the upstairs bedrooms are a decent size and would fit double beds; the other is smaller but ideal for a small child.
The main drawback is the kitchen, which is very small and narrow, and only just big enough to fit in essential appliances.
There is also only one bathroom which is located downstairs at the back of the house.
There is, however, a nice dining room space off the kitchen, with double patio doors into the garden.
Location
With only 807sq ft (75sq m) of floor space, there’s no denying that this is a relatively small house, although this is reflected in the price and has to be weighed against the location.
Only 15 minutes walk from O’Connell Street, close to football clubs such as Na Fianna in Glasnevin and part of a charming village of period redbrick terraced houses, this property would suit single buyers or young couples.
It’s not every day these come on the market and this one is certainly worth a look.
