Lesbos, 137 Howth Road, Dublin 3, D03C6Y3

Welcome to 137 Howth Road—a beautifully preserved and tastefully refurbished 1930s semi-detached home in the sought-after area of Clontarf. With four bedrooms, three reception rooms, a garage, and a generously sized, sunny rear garden, this home has a lot to offer. This charming residence welcomes you with a warm red-brick façade and classically balanced bay windows, creating a memorable first impression. Every detail of its original period features has been lovingly maintained, blending pre-war character with modern comfort. This makes it an ideal home for families or anyone seeking a property with timeless appeal. A recent top-to-toe refurbishment has added a touch of luxury to the home’s interior, most notably in the sophisticated new kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen, the heart of the home, has been completely modernized with high-end fixtures and top-quality appliances. The bathroom offers a serene retreat with chic finishes and a thoughtful layout that combines function with opulent style. This careful renovation ensures that the home is move-in ready, yet it retains its inviting, vintage charm. Inside, the layout is as functional as it is welcoming. Step through the fine entrance hall, and you’ll find two interconnecting reception rooms brimming with character, perfect for hosting or enjoying quiet family time. The main living room is particularly cozy, featuring a wide bay window that fills the space with natural light and a real fireplace. The breakfast room, just off the kitchen, is a lovely nook for casual meals and opens directly onto the kitchen, creating a seamless flow for day-to-day living. Practicality is further enhanced by a downstairs WC and a convenient side entrance that links the kitchen to the garage and rear garden. The home’s four well-proportioned bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, provide generous storage and ample space for family life. For those considering future expansion, the attached garage offers exciting potential, subject to planning permission, to extend the home outward or upward, as many neighbouring properties have done. This opportunity adds future-proofing appeal to an already exceptional property. Outside, 137 boasts ample parking with a generous driveway and easy access to a side garage. To the rear, the large, sunny garden is truly a hidden gem. South-facing and framed by a wall and mature trees, it offers a private retreat perfect for relaxation or entertaining. Such a spacious, sunlit garden is a rare find this close to the city, making it ideal for families, avid gardeners, and pets alike. Located on a coveted stretch of Howth Road, this home enjoys both tranquillity and excellent connectivity. Clontarf offers a range of nearby shopping options, and with the local DART station only three stops from Tara Street, accessing the city centre is a breeze. Numerous bus routes are also nearby, making commutes or day trips easy and efficient. The renowned Clontarf promenade is just a short stroll away, while the 240-acre St. Anne’s Park is the ultimate neighbourhood amenity. Its popular weekend farmers' market, rose garden, playground, duck pond, dog park, playing fields, and other attractions make it a vibrant hub.
