Description
Charming Victorian Home in Dublin 8’s Most Coveted Location set on one of Portobello’s most desirable streets, this elegant Victorian home blends timeless character with modern comfort. Filled with natural light, it showcases beautifully preserved period details throughout. Location: Arnott Street is a peaceful residential street in the heart of Portobello, just steps from the Grand Canal and a short stroll to Dublin’s cultural and culinary hotspots. Local favourites like Alma, Bibi’s, and Camden Kitchen are all nearby. Excellent transport links via the Harcourt Luas stop and numerous bus routes make getting around the city easy.
Accommodation
A welcoming entrance hall full of period features sets a classic tone, complemented by a fanlight that brings in natural light and a touch of Victorian elegance. While the hallway, stairs, and landing are carpeted for comfort, the living room showcases beautiful exposed timber floorboards. The front reception room impresses with its soaring 3.9m ceilings, an original cast-iron fireplace, ornate cornicing, and rich period detailing—an authentic reflection of Victorian style. On the lower ground floor, a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area features timber countertops, built-in cabinetry, tiled splash back, and an open fireplace. A separate utility room with built-in storage and a generous family bathroom (with bath, shower, and access to the garden) complete this level. Upstairs, two double bedrooms enjoy views over the quiet rear garden. Both rooms feature original timber floorboards, lending warmth and authenticity to the space. Inside: Development Potential - The basement currently is not a usable living space; however, it provides useful extra storage. It spans the full footprint of the front room and hallway, offering a substantial area beneath the ground floor. Importantly, there is a local precedent for homeowners successfully excavating and converting basements into liveable spaces, significantly increasing the usable footprint of their homes. This presents an exciting opportunity for future expansion, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Outside: The west-facing rear garden is private and low-maintenance; featuring raised planting beds, convenient rear access, and a practical block-built shed—ideal for outdoor storage or as a small workshop. At the front, the traditional city- style garden is framed by classic cast-iron railings and gravel, adding to the home’s period charm.
