Grattan Parade, Drumcondra, Dublin 9

Architect-Designed 2-Bed Home | Grattan Parade, Drumcondra, Dublin 9 ________________________________________ A genuinely exceptional rental in the heart of Drumcondra — a beautifully restored Victorian red brick home, fully reimagined inside to an architect-finished, owner-occupier standard. The contrast between the handsome period façade and the precision of the contemporary interior makes this one of the most distinctive homes currently available in Dublin 3. Behind the original arched fanlight doorway and restored ironwork railings, polished concrete floors run throughout the entire property, anchoring a warm, considered palette of natural oak joinery, stone-effect finishes, and carefully specified lighting. The home is powered by an air-to-water heat pump combined with solar panels, providing underfloor heating throughout and significantly reduced electricity bills year-round. With a BER A3 rating, this is among the most energy-efficient homes available to rent in Dublin — a meaningful financial benefit at current energy prices. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area is the centrepiece of the home. The kitchen features full-height bespoke oak cabinetry with fluted detailing, a marble-effect worktop and splashback, integrated appliances, and a matt black sink and tap — all beneath a recessed LED cove. The living and dining space is furnished with Wishbone chairs, bespoke built-in media and sideboard joinery, and feature copper-lined pendant lighting, with large glazed sliding doors opening directly to the private courtyard. The south-facing courtyard is a genuine highlight — a large, fully paved and walled outdoor space that catches the sun throughout the day, with festoon lighting, planting, outdoor seating, and a separate gated rear access. Unusually generous for a Dublin city home and ideal for entertaining or unwinding. Both bedrooms carry the same design quality throughout. Both bedroom features an entire wall of bespoke floor-to-ceiling oak wardrobes with integrated shelving — an exceptional amount of built-in storage rarely found in a rental property. Polished concrete floors run through both rooms. The bathroom is finished to a spa standard: large-format concrete-effect wall tiles floor to ceiling, an oversized matt black rain head shower with recessed LED strip lighting, wall-hung WC and basin, wall-mounted matt black fittings, and a built-in shower niche.
