A unique Alexander Strain-built residence, No. 6 is positioned on a beautiful, tree-lined street and offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of character and distinction. This very well-maintained property retains many of its original features, including elegant marble and cast-iron fireplaces, intricate coving, and striking stained glass window and door insets. Strain-built homes are renowned for their generous proportions, quality craftsmanship, and beautiful period detailing, all of which are present in abundance here, along with the added advantage of a sizable rear garden. Deceptively spacious, the house is two storeys to the front and three to the rear, offering excellent versatility for modern family living in this highly sought-after location

The accommodation comprises an elegant side porch leading into a bright and welcoming entrance hall. Off the hall are a dining room, living room, and family room, each featuring high ceilings and stunning original fireplaces that add warmth and character. On the lower level lies the breakfast room and kitchen, ideal for family gatherings. The first return accommodates a WC and the main family bathroom. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, all with original fireplaces and a single bedroom, while the top floor provides a spacious fifth bedroom.

The gardens are a real highlight of this charming property. To the front, a beautifully presented cobble-lock garden offers a low maintenance and welcoming entrance, perfectly complementing the home’s period façade. To the rear lies a wonderful private garden extending over 60 feet in length, a true oasis in the heart of the city. It features practical storage sheds, a cosy patio area ideal for outdoor dining, and a generous lawn surrounded by mature planting. Adding to its unique character, the garden also retains the remains of an original Victorian greenhouse, offering a delightful glimpse into the property’s heritage and great potential for restoration or creative use

The location is simply superb, complemented by the nearby Botanic Gardens and Griffith Park, yet within walking distance of the city centre. The property is convenient to the many shops, cafés, bars, and restaurants of Drumcondra, Glasnevin, and Phibsborough. The area offers an excellent selection of schools and sports clubs, with both DCU and TU Dublin close at hand. The Four Courts, King’s Inns, Bon Secours Hospital, and the Mater Hospital are all within walking distance. For commuters, the M50, M1, and Dublin Airport are only a short drive away. The area is also exceptionally well serviced by public transport, with numerous bus routes nearby, Drumcondra Rail Station just a 10-minute walk, and the LUAS only 20 minutes on foot.
