Description
8 Catherine Street is a beautifully renovated two-bedroom home located in the centre of the vibrant and historic neighbourhood of The Liberties. Set just off Meath Street, this owner-occupied property offers a rare combination of modern design, smart functionality, private garden, all within walking distance of Dublin city centre. Behind its modest exterior lies a deceptively spacious and light-filled home that has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded throughout. The accommodation spans approx. 76sqm with a further 11sqm garden room.
This property offers flexible living space, clever storage solutions, and a stunning west-facing garden that provides privacy, sunshine, and superb indoor-outdoor flow. Step inside to discover a welcoming hallway with Victorian-style tiled flooring, wall panelling, and custom-built under-stairs storage. The heart of the home lies in the bright, open-plan kitchen and dining area to the rear. This extended space is flooded with natural light thanks to large French doors and a feature skylight and offers generous countertop and storage space for cooking and entertaining. A concealed utility area provides hidden storage for washing machine, dryer, and bins; another thoughtful detail.
To the front of the property is a cozy sitting room with a cast iron wood-burning stove offering a peaceful retreat as a TV or reading room. A separate sitting room like this is exceptionally uncommon in these types of homes, particularly when combined with an open-plan kitchen extension.
Upstairs, you’ll find two bright double bedrooms boasting high ceilings and original doors. The main bedroom spans the full width of the house and includes fitted wardrobes and ample space for additional furniture. The second double bedroom also features double wardrobes and new carpeting. The newly refurbished shower room is finished in large-format neutral tiles, creating a touch of luxury with its walk-in rainfall shower and contemporary fittings. There is also a separate guest WC.
To the rear, a west-facing garden, unusually large for the area, provides a tranquil, low-maintenance escape from the city, bathed in afternoon and evening sun. At the end of the garden sits a versatile fully powered garden room currently used as a home office. This space offers the perfect work-from-home setup, home gym or additional guest area.
Recent energy efficiency upgrades include a high-efficiency combi gas boiler (installed in 2021), attic insulation, double-glazed PVC windows and external doors.
Catherine Street is tucked away between the increasingly popular Meath Street and Francis Street, in the heart of The Liberties — one of Dublin’s most historic and character-rich neighbourhoods. Once home to weavers, brewers, and traders, the area is now a vibrant mix of tradition and modern city living. St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the Guinness Storehouse, and NCAD are all nearby, along with chic cafés, restaurants, distilleries, and creative spaces.
Just a 15-minute walk to St. Stephen’s Green, Grafton Street and Trinity College, this location offers unbeatable access to the city centre while still feeling like a neighbourhood. Vicar Street Theatre, The Coombe Hospital, St. James’s Hospital and the new National Children’s Hospital are also close by. The area is well served by public transport including multiple Dublin Bus routes and the nearby Luas.
Offering light, space, style and an outdoor haven in the heart of the city, this home is a rare opportunity for discerning buyers seeking a city-centre home with soul.
