Description
***VACANT PROPERTY GRANT MAY BE AVAILABLE SUBJECT TO ELIGIBILITY / PRESTIGIOUS ADDRESS / EXCEPTIONALLY LARGE REAR GARDEN / MATURE & SOUGHT-AFTER RESIDENTIAL SETTING / EXCELLENT CATCHMENT AREA / NOT OVERLOOKED TO THE REAR*** KELLY BRADSHAW DALTON are delighted to present No. 20 Rathlin Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 9, a home of outstanding character and scale, superbly positioned on one of Drumcondra’s most desirable and mature residential roads. For purchasers seeking a property rich in original detail and charm, while offering exceptional scope to create a truly special family home, No. 20 is sure to impress. Nestled along this leafy, tree-lined street, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy, yet remains within moments of every conceivable amenity. Built circa 1940, the home is approached through a gated front garden, offering potential for off-street parking (subject to planning permission). Upon entering, the generous proportions are immediately apparent. The accommodation is bright and well laid out, with original features throughout lending warmth and authenticity. While the property will absolutely benefit from modernisation, the combination of its layout, scale, possibility of the vacant grant and extraordinary rear garden presents a rare opportunity to create and extend a home that can evolve with family life. To the front of the house is a spacious living room featuring its original fireplace surround, the perfect space to relax and unwind at the end of the day. To the rear lies the kitchen and dining area. Fully fitted, this space offers excellent potential to create a standout family hub. Located within the kitchen is under-stair storage, which could be converted into a guest bathroom or retained as a highly practical storage solution. Leading from the kitchen is a separate utility room, an increasingly sought-after feature, which in turn provides access to the main family bathroom. This bathroom is generously proportioned and fitted with a shower, hand basin and W.C., with the utility room allowing direct access to the rear garden. The rear garden is undoubtedly a standout feature of this home. Exceptionally large, private and not overlooked, it offers immense potential for families, gardening enthusiasts, or those wishing to extend without compromising outdoor space. East-facing, the garden enjoys excellent sunlight throughout the day thanks to its open aspect and impressive size, making it an ideal setting for relaxation, entertaining and future development. Upstairs, the accommodation comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms, including two doubles and one single. The location of No. 20 Rathlin Road is second to none. Drumcondra is renowned for its excellent amenities, schools and transport links. A wide selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and public transport options are within easy reach, offering swift access to Dublin City Centre. Nearby educational and medical institutions include All Hallows College, Dominican College, Maryfield Secondary School, Ard Scoil Ris, DCU, Bons Secours Hospital and Beaumont Hospital. Sporting and recreational amenities such as Croke Park and St. Vincent’s GAA are also close by. Commuters are exceptionally well catered for with multiple bus routes and convenient access to both the M1 and M50. Griffith Park, with its 7.5 hectares of landscaped green space and scenic riverside walks along the Tolka, is just a five-minute stroll away, while Albert College Park is also nearby. Opportunities to acquire a home of this calibre on Rathlin Road, particularly one boasting such an expansive rear garden, are rare. No. 20 offers charm, potential and location in equal measure and is certain to appeal to those seeking a forever home in one of Dublin 9’s most coveted settings. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, potential and exceptional garden on offer.
