Portobello
Dublin 8
D08 T2N4

An exciting opportunity to acquire a handsome Victorian villa-style residence in one of Dublin 8’s most vibrant and sought-after locations. No. 11 Curzon Street is a particularly attractive red-brick bay-fronted home, approached through an enclosed front garden with mature hedge growth and traditional cast-iron railings. While requiring refurbishment and modernisation, the property is filled with charm and character and retains a wealth of wonderful period features, including magnificent high ceilings, intricate coving, centre roses and original fireplaces.

Internally, the accommodation is arranged over two levels to the rear and offers excellent potential to create a superb city home. The elegant proportions and generous ceiling heights are immediately evident on entering, while the magnificent living room provides a particularly impressive reception space with its large bay window overlooking Curzon Street, original cast-iron fireplace and ceiling height of over 12ft. There is also a useful former coal cellar/storage area accessed from the breakfast room, with restricted head height, which provides additional storage and interesting potential for imaginative use as part of any future refurbishment.

The location is quite simply superb. Curzon Street is a quiet and established residential street in the heart of Portobello, positioned just off the South Circular Road and within easy walking distance of Dublin city centre, St Stephen’s Green and Grafton Street. Camden Street, Rathmines and the Grand Canal are all close at hand, while the area is renowned for its eclectic selection of cafés, restaurants, bars and independent businesses. Excellent public transport is also readily accessible, with both the Harcourt Street and Charlemont Luas stops within easy reach. This is a truly special opportunity to acquire a period home in a brilliant city-centre location, with enormous scope to refurbish, extend and create something exceptional.

Portobello is an area stretching westwards from South Richmond Street as far as Upper Clanbrassil Street bordered on the north by the South Circular Road and on the south by the Grand Canal. As a fast-expanding Dublin suburb during the 19th century, Portobello attracted many upwardly-mobile families whose members went on to play important roles in politics, the arts and the sciences.
