41 Victoria Street, Portobello, Dublin 8, D08K0W4

A Portobello classic — full of original character, thoughtfully upgraded, and genuinely loved. Borgman Earls are delighted to present No. 41 Victoria Street — a truly elegant red-brick period home, beautifully positioned on one of Portobello’s most admired residential streets. Some houses stop you in your tracks the moment you arrive, and this is one of them. Extending to approximately 152 sq. m. (1,636 sq. ft.), this superb three-bedroom mid-terrace residence seamlessly blends timeless architectural detail with carefully considered modern upgrades — the result of a home that has been thoughtfully cared for and genuinely loved. The present owner has invested wisely throughout — a modern Kitchen / dining room extension, a beautifully finished bathroom, and additional external wall insulation to both front and rear elevations, ensuring the house is as comfortable and energy-efficient as it is characterful. From the moment you step through the hall door, the tone is set. A gracious entrance hallway with original timber flooring, ornate cornicing, and intricate ceiling plasterwork introduces a home of real character and warmth. The proportions throughout are exceptional: high ceilings, decorative cornicing, sash windows with original wooden shutters, and a series of beautifully retained cast-iron fireplaces that speak to the home’s Victorian heritage. The craftsmanship here is everywhere you look. The reception rooms are a real highlight. Two interconnecting front rooms — both dressed in rich heritage green and each with their own period fireplace — flow effortlessly from one to the next, perfect for relaxed family evenings or entertaining guests. Whether you use them as a formal sitting room and dining room, or utilise them together as one expansive living space, they feel generous, bright, and genuinely inviting. Steps down from the hallway lead to a cloakroom with w.c, and a utility room, plumbed for a washing machine and with space for a dryer. To the rear, the house opens into a striking extended kitchen and dining area — an impressive contemporary space designed for modern living. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke cabinetry and Carrara marble worktops, and comes equipped with integrated Siemens oven and hob, a fridge freezer, and Miele dishwasher. A long picture window looks onto the rear garden, keeping the room bright and connected to the outdoors. The adjoining dining area is flooded with natural light and sliding doors opening directly to the garden. It is the kind of space that makes everyday life feel like a treat. Upstairs on the first return a beautiful stained glass window casts warm light across the landing — one of those details you’ll notice and appreciate every single day. The family bathroom is a bold, confident statement room, finished in a classic Farrow & Ball tone with white metro tiles, a bath, separate walk-in shower, and attractive floor tiles. No timid design choices here. The landing also benefits from ample integrated storage. Three well-proportioned bedrooms each bring their own personality. The main bedroom is grand in scale, overlooks the rear, and features original timber flooring alongside a full wall of bespoke fitted wardrobes. The two front bedrooms are well proportioned, full of light, with views over the quiet streetscape below. Outside, the enclosed rear garden offers a private and low-maintenance retreat — perfect for outdoor dining, morning coffee, or simply unwinding after a long day. A handy storage shed sits to the rear, and on-street resident permit parking is available to the front. The Location — One of Dublin’s Finest. Victoria Street sits in the beating heart of Portobello, and for everyday living, it really is hard to beat. The award-winning restaurants that have helped put this neighbourhood on the map — Locks, Bastible, and Richmond — are a short stroll away. Lennox Street, with its much-loved independent grocer, coffee shops, and boutique retailers, is moments on foot. Also close-by are the highly popular Sceal Bakery Cafe, and the delights of Alma. The Grand Canal towpath is on your doorstep for morning runs and evening walks, and the buzz of Camden Street is less than ten minutes away on foot. For families, the area is exceptionally well served. Portobello Educate Together, Griffith Barracks Multi-Denominational School, and CBS Synge Street are all close by. St Stephen’s Green is a leisurely 15-minute walk, and the city’s major business, cultural, and third-level institutions are all within easy reach. Getting around without a car is genuinely straightforward — the Charlemont Luas stop is approximately a 10-minute walk, multiple Dublin Bikes stations are nearby, and the QBC along the South Circular Road makes bus commuting easy. For longer journeys, the M50 is accessible within 15 minutes by car. No. 41 Victoria Street represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period home in genuinely turnkey condition in one of Dublin’s most fashionable and enduringly popular neighbourhoods. With its wealth of original features, generous proportions, beautifully upgraded kitchen, and a location that continues to be one of the most sought-after in the city, this is a home that will appeal to discerning buyers seeking both character and comfort.
