Extended family-friendly home is a by word for space and light
132 Upper Drumcondra Road, Dublin 9
Asubstantial family home in the heart of family-friendly Drumcondra, this attractive redbrick has been refurbished and extended with an eye to the two design priorities of our day: space and light.
The recent extension adds a large breakfast/dining room onto the new kitchen, a family room, an extra bedroom and ensuite downstairs and an attic conversion currently used as a child’s bedroom. The entire 181sq.m property is luxuriously finished with a simple, elegant look throughout.
The Edwardian-style porch opens into a wide hall with black and white chequered tiled floor and plenty of understairs storage.
The bright, beautifully finished reception rooms on the right interconnect. The drawing room has a big bay window, picture rails and original wood fireplace. It opens into the complementary dining room with French doors opening onto the patio.
The kitchen is superb, with the same tiles as the hall, quality cream units and a Stanley range cooker, with a shelved pantry off it. The walnut-floored breakfast room is filled with light thanks to Velux windows and a door to the patio. There is a family room, a lobby, a double bedroom and an ensuite shower room at the back of the house. Upstairs the master bedroom has a bay window, built- in wardrobes and ensuite shower.
Four further bedrooms and a large bathroom with Villeroy & Boch fittings completes the accommodation on this floor. Stairs take you to the converted attic bedroom. The well-maintained gardens provide off-street parking and the house is within walking distance of Drumcondra village and its amenities. Contact Sherry FitzGerald, (01) 837 3737.
