Description
Set behind its original wrought iron gates, The Lodge on Grace Park Road is an exceptionally rare protected structure dating from c. 1840. Positioned adjacent to Grace Park Wood, an elegant Castlethorn built development, this unique residence enjoys a distinguished setting within a mature and highly sought after neighbourhood close to Drumcondra, Fairview, Marino, and Clontarf. Approached through the historic gates, the property offers private parking for two cars, together with a pedestrian entrance leading to a generous landscaped green area serving the Grace Park Wood community. Rich in period charm, The Lodge extends to approximately 32 sq. m., currently arranged as three ground floor rooms plus a main bathroom. While the property requires complete modernisation, it presents a remarkable opportunity for discerning buyers to restore and reimagine this distinctive building. Given the level of refurbishment required for this protected structure, the property is most suited to cash buyers. The location is superb, with an excellent choice of local cafés, restaurants, shops, and amenities in nearby Drumcondra, Fairview, Marino, and Clontarf. The property is perfectly positioned within walking distance of DCU and only a ten minute drive from Beaumont Hospital. Beautiful green spaces such as Griffith Park, Fairview Park and the National Botanic Gardens are easily accessible, while excellent transport links including regular bus services, Drumcondra Railway Station, and proximity to the M50, M1, and Dublin Airport make the area exceptionally well connected.
