Tucked away on this quietly storied street, this home is something truly special, a slice of Dublin’s living history! Built during the elegant expansion of the city in the late 19th century, Valentia Parade was originally developed to house the industrious workers who powered Dublin’s thriving heart. Today, it remains a hidden gem, a tranquil red-brick terrace where heritage whispers through the walls. No. 28 is a 136 year old artisan cottage that has been completely reimagined and architecturally reinvented with an A rated energy performance and lovingly brought back to life with craftsmanship, innovation and bold, elegant design. Not simply a renovation, it is a resurrection! Behind its striking redbrick façade lies one of the most distinctive homes on the market, where heritage meets high spec in a truly remarkable way. From the outside, it appears as a beautifully preserved period property, a natural slate roof, handmade sash windows framed in red brick and a charming door that gives only the subtlest hint of the transformation within. But step inside and you'll immediately understand, this home is something extraordinary. The entrance opens into a double height hallway and from the moment you cross the threshold, the atmosphere changes. The hustle from outside disappears, light spills from an electric Velux window above and dances across the interior, enhanced by triple-glazed windows and softly textured walls finished in rich Colourtrend tones. The flow is both open and intentional, crafted for modern living while honouring the soul of the original cottage. Lets begin upstairs, where the main living quarters unfold across a stylish open plan space, perfect for entertaining yet warm and welcoming. The solid oak staircase brings you to a space that is as functional as it is beautiful. Every detail has been curated, a feature acoustic panel wall provides both form and function and the bespoke kitchen is seamlessly integrated with clean lines and discreet storage. The soundproof partition ensures tranquillity below, while the carefully engineered flow of the space makes everyday living feel effortlessly elegant. The kitchen is a masterclass in bespoke design. Crafted to complement the architecture, every element from the concealed appliances to the elegant breakfast bar has been chosen with care. The bar itself doubles as casual dining and clever storage, perfect for both family mornings and evenings with friends. A large dining area invites gatherings and celebration, while clever glazing fills the space with natural light. From the kitchen, a west-facing veranda opens out into a private suntrap ideal for enjoying a morning coffee or sipping wine at sunset. The privacy screen, finished in a Shou Sugi Ban style, a traditional Japanese charring technique, adds character, longevity and weather resistance. A second kitchen window, designed in a Juliet style, opens fully to allow fresh air to flood the space, creating a calm, breezy atmosphere in summer months. Downstairs offers yet more to discover. As you descend, you pass the original curved cottage wall, lovingly preserved and seamlessly blended into the home’s contemporary finish, a tactile reminder of its 19th century origins. To the right lies the first of two bedrooms, perfectly positioned and fully soundproofed, offering exceptional peace and quiet despite the home’s urban location. This room is cleverly designed with built-in storage, solid oak pocket doors and a foldaway double bed, ideal for guests, family, or a sophisticated home office. Back in the hallway, the exposed internal brick wall offers a stylish and raw architectural feature, a beautifully unapologetic glimpse into the home's past. Just beyond lies the master bedroom, a truly tranquil retreat. Again featuring oak pocket doors and engineered to perfection, this room is a masterclass in calm. Custom blackout blinds and soundproofing allow for undisturbed rest, while the large glass doors invite you directly out into a private courtyard oasis. Board formed concrete adds an industrial yet elegant texture, grounding the outdoor space with style. Picture waking up and sipping coffee on the reclaimed sill that now enjoys its new use as a bench. There is a space within the room for an office or dressing area depending on your needs and ample built in wardrobes for added storage. The bathroom is nothing short of exquisite. Like a page from Architectural Digest, the wet room is striking in its minimalist design, muted tones, high end fixtures and subtle luxury. A USB mirror and refined finishes bring a boutique hotel feel into your everyday routine. Throughout the home, a sophisticated heat recovery ventilation system ensures whisper-quiet air filtration for a clean, allergen-free environment. Underfloor heating flows room to room, powered by an advanced 5kW Thermia iTec Eco air-to-water heat pump, paired with a 200L cylinder, combining comfort and sustainability with ease. The property has been fully rewired and replumbed, including a micropump station, ensuring the home is as future-ready as it is timeless. The current owners have poured their vision and care into every inch of this home, showing deep respect for its history while elevating it with contemporary luxury. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear that it's lived in and truly loved. The location could not be more ideal.
