Two-bedroom split-level Victorian house in Fontenoy Street, Dublin 7.

Describe the house

READ MORE

The house is a deceptively spacious redbrick mid terrace residence built in the 1890s.

Originally the birth home of Sonya's grandfather, we bought the house four years ago and spent a year and a half renovating it. The house is laid out over four levels.

The ground floor consists of a spacious livingroom and entrance hall with steps that lead down to a large open-plan kitchen/diningroom.

Upstairs there is a main bedroom and a fully-tiled bathroom with a second double bedroom at mezzanine level.

Why are you moving?

We are trading up.

What's the best thing about it?

It has a spacious interior that tastefully combines period elegance with contemporary modern conveniences.

It's a hang-your-hat house in which all you would have to do after moving in is sit back, relax and enjoy your comfortable tasteful surroundings.

The neighbourhood

Fontenoy Street is a quiet residential road that is a 10 minutes walk from the city centre.

It is a close-knit community with warm, friendly neighbours.

Blessington Street basin is just around the corner and is ideal for a short, relaxing walk.

This area has a children's playground and a pond where you can feed ducks and swans.

Who would like your house?

It is ideal for anyone who would like city living without the confines of apartment living and do not want to renovate.

The house is for sale with Lisney Drumcondra and can be viewed on myhome.ie under North City Centre.
