Description
12 Victoria Street is an exceptional four-bedroom A3-Rated residence quietly positioned within a terrace of classic Victorian redbrick homes in the heart of Portobello, Dublin 8. Completely rebuilt and reimagined from the ground up, the house extends to approximately 179 sq.m. / 1,926 sq.ft. over three floors, offering a rare combination of contemporary design, cutting-edge technology, and energy-efficient living in a highly convenient city-centre location.
The home seamlessly blends modern comfort with subtle references to the street's Victorian character. Reclaimed redbrick, sash windows, a traditional fanlight over the front door, refurbished iron railings and granite plinth stones respect the streetscape, while inside, bespoke features and high-spec finishes create an exceptional contemporary interior. The house is fully smart-wired, allowing remote control of lighting, blinds, heating, and the gas fire via a wall-mounted HDL smart home remote control panel in each room, while underfloor heating, solar panels, a heat recovery ventilation system, CCTV, and a rainwater harvesting system add to the environmental efficiency and A3-rating of the property.
Entering the home, ceramic wood-effect tiles in the hall flow through to the principal living areas. To the front, the drawing room is adorned with ceiling cornicing, a centre rose, large sash window, remote-control gas log effect fire and a polished walnut veneer door, creating an elegant and inviting space. Stepping down into the impressive open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area provides a striking modern heart to the house. Tri-folding glazed doors open directly onto the west facing rear garden, flooding the space with natural light and creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. The dining area features built in bespoke bench seating with storage underneath, while the kitchen by Design Yard is finished with high-gloss lacquered cabinetry and soft-close doors and is equipped with a Neff induction hob, oven, steam oven, pop-up extractor, Silestone quartz worktops, and a Quooker instant hot water tap. A bespoke corkscrew wine cellar, accessed via a remote-control glass hatch in the floor, provides storage for up to 1,000 bottles and forms a memorable unique feature of the house.
A floating staircase in polished walnut veneer with built in LED lighting and a glass balustrade rises from the rear of the living space to a large study/ home gym overlooking the garden, while a second staircase at the front provides access to a cloak area, guest wc, and understairs smart storage. The first floor accommodates the principal bedroom suite with a luxurious wet-room style en-suite shower room and a generous walk-in wardrobe, alongside two further double bedrooms to the front that benefit from high ceilings and sash windows enhancing the feeling of space and light. The upper floor comprises a superb guest suite with a double bedroom, walk-in wardrobe, and a luxurious bathroom featuring a steam room, twin sinks set on bespoke storage units, and a freestanding Formoso natural stone oval bath.
The west facing rear garden is arranged over split levels and designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A lower Indian sandstone patio with remote-control awning is complemented by an upper diamond-shaped lawn, landscaped flower beds, barbecue and dining area, and secure off-street parking behind electric sliding gates. Feature LED lighting integrated into the perimeter walls and flower beds enhances the ambience in the evening. To the front, refurbished iron railings encompass a raised lawn with granite curbing and gravel surrounding with a granite boarder and outdoor lighting completes the exterior.
Victoria Street is a quiet and highly regarded residential road just off the South Circular Road. The area is one of Dublin 8's most sought-after locations, known for its cafés, restaurants, boutique shops, and proximity to the leafy Grand Canal. The city centre, Camden Street, and Dublin 6 are all within easy reach, and transport links are excellent, with Charlemont Luas Station just a ten-minute walk away. 12 Victoria Street represents a rare opportunity to acquire a contemporary, technologically advanced home in a classic Victorian terrace, combining style, comfort, and location in one remarkable package.
