Terraced family home on capital’s doorstep
Central Victorian four-bed
20 Berkeley Road, Phibsboro, Dublin 7
The simplicity of this fourbed terraced home on the doorstep of the capital is what makes it so attractive. The redbrick façade with patterned detail over the windows and door arch as well as under the roof are an immediately appealing feature, signalling the level of craftsmanship put into these Victorian homes.
This attractive west-facing part of the terrace overlooks a park on the junction of Berkeley Road and Eccles Street.
Inside, all the rooms have been painted white, giving it a great feeling of space and continuity, thanks in particular to the high ceilings.
The hall has a new dark wood timber floor and a decorative arch. The living room on the right has a feature fireplace and high ceiling, its large window allowing light to flood in, while the extended dining room and kitchen are at the back. There is a small and pretty courtyard garden at the back, with a pedestrian lane access and storage shed.
The bedrooms are on the upper floors and have original polished timber floors.
The property may need some upgrading, but its location, a short walk from Phibsborough, makes it an enticing prospect for a family looking for a city home. Those trading up would need a deposit of at least €84,000. Lisney: (01) 884 0700.
