Description
DNG are delighted to present to the market, 14 Northbrook Avenue Lower, a handsome Victorian red brick residence dating from the late 19th century, tucked away along one of Dublin's most characterful residential streets. Behind its beautifully repointed façade, elegant arched doorway and recently upgraded sash windows lies a home that effortlessly blends period charm with a relaxed, contemporary feel.
From the moment you step inside, it's clear that this is a property with personality. The split-level entrance hallway creates an immediate sense of interest and space, complemented by high ceilings, warm timber flooring and an attractive decorative archway that acts as a subtle nod to the home's Victorian heritage. Throughout the property, the current owners have carefully maintained and improved the accommodation, resulting in a home that is presented in excellent condition while retaining plenty of original character.
The front reception room is particularly impressive, enjoying ceiling heights of approximately 3.4 metres which enhance the sense of light and volume. Rich period proportions, decorative cornicing and a feature wood-burning stove combine to create a wonderfully inviting living space. To the rear, a more intimate everyday living room offers a cosy retreat and flows naturally into the kitchen beyond.
The kitchen is bright, practical and full of charm, featuring shaker-style cabinetry, contrasting worktops, a distinctive tiled floor and soft blush-toned splashback tiling. Large glazed doors and windows frame views of the garden while allowing natural light to flood the space throughout the day. Completing the ground floor is a spacious bathroom positioned to the rear of the property. Bathed in natural light from a large rooflight overhead, this contemporary space includes both a bath and shower arrangement and enjoys a bright, airy atmosphere.
Upstairs, there are two generously proportioned double bedrooms, each offering a calm and comfortable setting with a mix of original features and tasteful modern finishes. Exposed brickwork and high ceilings further reinforce the character that runs throughout the home.
Outside, the landscaped rear garden provides a wonderfully private outdoor space. Mature planting, raised beds and carefully considered seating areas create a tranquil setting that feels far removed from the city despite being just minutes from it. A large block-built shed to the rear provides excellent additional storage and offers obvious potential for a workshop, studio or hobby space.
The property has also benefited from a number of practical upgrades including a modern combi boiler, partial insulation, insulated flooring to the front reception room and attic insulation. A positive input ventilation (PIV) system serves the ground floor, helping to maintain fresh air circulation and improve overall comfort and efficiency. These improvements contribute towards the property's respectable D BER rating.
Northbrook Avenue Lower itself is one of the area's hidden gems; a charming row of Victorian red-brick terraces that has retained much of its original character over the years. The location strikes an ideal balance between city convenience and neighbourhood charm. Dublin City Centre is within comfortable walking and cycling distance, while residents are spoiled by an ever-growing selection of independent cafés, coffee spots, restaurants and local amenities nearby. Excellent cycle infrastructure and public transport links further enhance the appeal of this vibrant city-fringe address. Accommodation
