***VICTORIAN REDBRICK HOME / SOUTH FACING / NOT OVERLOOKED / ORIGINAL FEATURES IN SITU / TWO RECEPTION ROOMS / TWO BATHROOMS / REAR LANE ACCESS WITH OFF-STREET PARKING*** KELLY BRADSHAW DALTON are delighted to present No. 39 Clonliffe Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 3. A most charming Victorian redbrick residence, Clonliffe Road presents a distinguished collection of villa and terrace-style redbrick homes. No. 39 is a beautifully presented two-bedroom residence that effortlessly combines elegant period character with modern-day comfort, set along one of north Dublin’s most historic and enduring residential addresses. Dating from the late 19th century, this attractive home forms part of a distinguished terrace built during a period of significant expansion in the city, when Clonliffe became a sought-after location for Dublin’s growing professional and mercantile classes. Homes of this calibre were traditionally occupied by clerks, civil servants and skilled families who valued both proximity to the city and the refinement of a well-built Victorian home. On arrival, a charming front garden framed by original ironmongery railings and gate sets a welcoming tone, offering an immediate glimpse of the character that lies beyond the redbrick façade. Inside, No. 39 retains an abundance of original features that speak to its heritage, including impressive ceiling heights, decorative detailing and graciously proportioned reception rooms, elements that would have reflected both status and craftsmanship at the time of its construction. The entrance hallway, with its striking double-height ceiling, immediately evokes a sense of a bygone era. To the front, the formal living room overlooks Clonliffe Road and boasts high ceilings, original cornicing and a beautiful fireplace with tiled insert, creating a warm and elegant space. To the rear lies the second reception room, currently in use as a living and dining area, offering excellent proportions and flexibility. This space presents an ideal opportunity to be incorporated into an extended kitchen design, subject to planning permission, creating a stunning open-plan family hub. The kitchen, positioned to the rear, offers a wonderful opportunity for modernisation, allowing the new owner to design and create a space tailored entirely to their own style and needs. Beyond, the south-facing rear garden is a true highlight, completely private and not overlooked, and drenched in natural light throughout the day. A large shed provides excellent potential as a home office or studio, while rear lane access offers the highly sought-after benefit of off-street parking. The orientation and privacy of the garden make it an ideal setting for outdoor gatherings and entertaining during the warmer months. A recently refurbished bathroom completes the ground floor, featuring a fully tiled finish, walk-in electric shower, wash hand basin and W.C. Upstairs, the sense of space continues from the landing, which overlooks the double-height entrance hall. There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, including a versatile second room currently in use as a home office. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring an original fireplace, an increasingly rare and charming feature, alongside a modern ensuite bathroom, fully tiled and fitted with shower, wash hand basin and W.C. The layout remains true to its Victorian origins, designed for both entertaining and comfortable everyday living. Over more than a century, homes along Clonliffe Road have witnessed the evolving story of Dublin itself, passing through generations of ownership, adaptation and renewal. Many, including No. 39, have carefully preserved their original fabric while offering scope for thoughtful enhancement. The property presents an excellent opportunity to extend, subject to planning permission, in line with neighbouring homes that have successfully introduced contemporary living spaces within these historic structures. The setting is equally compelling. Clonliffe, with origins dating back to medieval Dublin and formerly known as Fortick’s Lane, is an area rich in heritage and architectural character. The nearby Holy Cross College, founded in 1854, played a key role in shaping the neighbourhood and attracting residential development of this quality. Today, No. 39 offers a home with a continuation of a long and layered story, one that spans generations and reflects the enduring appeal of Victorian Dublin. A rare opportunity to acquire a residence of genuine character, historical depth and future potential in a truly special setting, the convenience and location of this home cannot be overstated! Situated only a stone’s throw from Croke Park, the property is ideally positioned beside some of Ireland’s most prestigious educational institutions, including St Patrick’s College, Trinity College and DCU. Clonliffe Road is within walking distance of Dublin City Centre and all its amenities. Drumcondra Train Station is just two minutes away, with numerous bus routes serving the area. Also within close proximity are shops, cafés, restaurants, churches and a host of sporting and recreational facilities, as well as the M1 and M50 motorways and Dublin Airport. This is a superb opportunity to acquire a home in a highly convenient and well-connected location.
