16 Prospect Square
Glasnevin
Dublin 9
D09 T6H2

16 Prospect Square is a beautiful redbrick home quietly tucked away in one of Glasnevin’s most historic and beloved enclaves. Dating back to the early 1900s, the property retains much of its original allure and, while requiring some modernisation, offers a flexible canvas to create a bespoke family home that blends timeless character with contemporary living.

The accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming entrance hall accessed via a porch, a front bedroom with open fireplace, a cosy reception room to the rear, and a dual-aspect kitchen that makes the best use of the property’s sunny orientation. On the return level is the second spacious bedroom. Continuing to the first floor, you’ll find the master bedroom, which spans the width of the property, a home office space, and a shower room that completes the picture of this charming home.
The rear garden enjoys a sunny south-facing orientation and benefits from gated access to a rear laneway.

Prospect Square is steeped in heritage and community spirit, a picturesque pocket tucked between the Botanic Gardens and Glasnevin Cemetery, just moments from the vibrancy of Drumcondra and Phibsborough villages. This quiet square has long been cherished for its unique sense of place, where redbrick terraces meet leafy surroundings and a true village atmosphere prevails. There’s an abundance of amenities within walking distance, including numerous cafés, shops, schools, and public parks. The Gravediggers, one of Dublin’s most iconic pubs, sits just across the front green and lends the area its distinctive charm. The National Botanic Gardens are a short stroll away, offering 50 acres of peaceful greenery. Dublin city centre is easily accessible by foot, bike, or bus, while the nearby M50, M1, and Dublin Airport make travelling further afield an easy prospect.
