Description
Built c.1890, 30B Phibsborough Road is a beautifully presented period house with 86sqm of accommodation over two floors with an additional 15sqm in an exceptionally well converted enclosed attic room with full staircase. Beyond the recessed front garden and handsome red brick facade is an elegant home with all the characteristics and period charm that define the late Victorian era in which the house was built including four open fireplaces, ornate coving, double-glazed sash windows and 3 metre ceiling heights at both ground and first floor providing a great sense of space.
The property benefits from a large back garden which extends to a generous 12m with a west facing aspect making it a veritable suntrap from midday to sundown. The garden is afforded immense privacy as behind the original stone wall to the back lie the gardens of the houses on Monck Place with church grounds to the side, giving a great sense of open space and providing a surprisingly quiet and peaceful outdoor living space to escape to.
Significantly 30b Phibsborough Road is within the catchment area for the LIVING CITY INITIATIVE (LCI) a tax incentive scheme to assist and encourage people to live in the historic inner-city areas of Dublin city. It allows you to claim tax relief for the money you spend on refurbishment or conversion of residential property (100% of qualifying costs over 7 years) either as income tax relief (for an owner-occupied residence) or capital allowance (for rented residences). In a time where construction costs are at an all-time high and rising this initiative will prove incredibly valuable for anyone who wishes to extend this property while still retaining a great city garden (subject to relevant permissions) as some of the neighbouring properties have with 2 and 3 storey extensions.
On entering the property through the Acoya wood period style front door from the Period Door Company you are greeted with a most attractive hallway with a 3m high ceiling, ornate plaster archway and ornate period quarry tiling that really sets the tone for the house celebrated by the current owners in all the work they have put into this fine house.
To the right the reception room has an open fireplace with a cast iron surround, original wooden floorboards, coving, high ceiling and beautiful sash window with plantation shuttering. The rear hall, leading to the kitchen, has a contemporary guest WC neatly tucked away and a Dutch ?half-door? that accesses the rear garden. The fitted kitchen has a Belfast sink, contemporary integrated appliances, extensive storage and ample counter space. There is an open fireplace and great view of the tranquil rear garden.
The staircase to the first floor continues to the attic and the first floor also has 3m ceiling heights throughout. The master bedroom to the front has two sash windows overlooking Phibsborough Road, an open fireplace, coving and high ceiling. The second bedroom is to the rear and has a fireplace and a sash window. There is a full family bathroom with a bath, WC and hand basin. The staircase continues to the enclosed attic room - a great space loved by the current owners currently used as a home office, living space and guest accommodation. This room is in an L-Shape with significant storage in the eaves and a velux window.
The house has gas fired central heating with a Worcester-Bosch A rated boiler installed in 2021. 30B Phibsborough is a beautiful period house house in turnkey condition with oodles of further development potential greatly benefited by the possibilities that the LIVING CITY INITIATIVE (LCI) affords.
The house is eligible for resident on-street disc parking for two cars through Dublin City Council.
The location is second to none, a couple of minutes? walk to the bustling village of Phibsborough renowned for its many artisan shops, supermarkets, cafes. pubs and restaurants.
