Description
Rarely does an opportunity arise to acquire such a beautifully renovated redbrick home on one of Dublin 8's most characterful historic terraces. Extended and comprehensively refurbished in recent years, 10 Thirlestane Terrace is a stylish three-bedroom city residence extending to approx. 96 sq. m / 1,033 sq. ft, with a C1 energy rating and a wonderfully private landscaped garden.
Transformed by the current owners, Number 10 combines period charm with thoughtful contemporary design. Behind its attractive redbrick façade, softened by cascading greenery, the house immediately impresses with its calm atmosphere, natural light, high-quality finishes and carefully considered details.
The welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, with solid wood flooring, detailed wainscoting and original cast-iron radiators from the Guinness Brewery. From here, the space flows into an elegant living room, where a feature fireplace and large front-facing sash window create a warm and inviting retreat.
To the rear lies the heart of the home: a beautifully designed kitchen and dining space suited to both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen includes an extensive range of wall and base units, integrated lighting, excellent storage and a striking vintage cast-iron range cooker as a natural focal point. Concealed utility space and additional storage are cleverly incorporated, helping preserve the clean and elegant aesthetic.
The extended dining area is filled with natural light and opens directly onto the landscaped rear garden, which is richly planted with layers of perennials, shrubs and mature trees. A built-in seating area has been positioned to maximise sunlight, creating a relaxed space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Mature fig, lime and maple trees provide privacy and a lovely sense of tranquillity, while the garden can also be enjoyed from the spacious ground-floor bathroom, complete with roll-top bath and period-style fittings.
On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, two of which feature original cast-iron fireplaces that add to the home's period character. The principal bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and enjoys beautiful views over the rear garden. A contemporary wet room, accessed from the principal bedroom, also overlooks the garden and creates a calm, private retreat. A spacious floored attic, accessed by pull-down ladder from the landing, provides excellent additional storage.
The location is superb. Thirlestane Terrace is within easy reach of the city centre and surrounded by some of Dublin 8's best amenities. NCAD, the Guinness Storehouse, and popular restaurants and coffee shops like Variety Jones, Two Pups, Lucky's and Space Jaru are all within a short walk, while St Stephen's Green, Grafton Street, St Patrick's Park, Weaver Park and the Camden Quarter are also easily accessible. The Red Luas is approx. 10 minutes' walk away, with the Green Luas approx. 15 minutes' walk from the house.
This is a chic, low-maintenance city home in a vibrant and highly convenient location. The new owners need simply turn the key and move in. Accommodation
