Description
Located in one of Kilkenny's most desirable residential areas, No. 44 Michael Street is a beautiful extended and upgraded home. This lovely home occupies an elevated site overlooking the River Nore and the newly developed Abbey Quarter, offering an exceptional location just moments from the heart of the city. Michael Street is known for its distinctive period homes and sense of community, and the introduction of the new Lady Desert pedestrian bridge provides direct access to the Market Yard and Abbey Quarter—offering convenience and connectivity. Local schools, shops, cafés, and Kilkenny's many cultural attractions are all within walking distance, and the M9 motorway can be reached in under five minutes via the Hebron Road. Internally, the property has been transformed through thoughtful renovations, fully insulated with thermal insulated slabs, the older part of the property has been fully rewired and a rear extension has been added to create a spacious and contemporary living area while respecting the home's original charm. The attic has been cleverly converted and is currently used as a fourth bedroom with en suite. Planning permission dictates this space as storage or living space. The accommodation is bright and well-proportioned throughout, with large original windows, a recessed front entrance, and interior finishes that reflect the high standard of care and design invested in the property. On-street parking is available to the front, with gated access to the rear providing further flexibility and parking. Stepping inside No. 44 Michael Street is an experience that immediately feels welcoming. While fully modernised, this charming home retains the best of its original features—starting with a beautiful entrance hall featuring timber flooring and the original staircase, both of which set a warm and elegant tone for the house. To the left of the hallway, the living space has been reimagined through the clever removal of an internal wall, creating a generously proportioned family room. This impressive space is filled with natural light and boasts timber floors and a solid-fuel fireplace with a fitted stove—ideal for cosy evenings and family meets. A rear extension has transformed the kitchen and dining area into a bright, open-plan space with garden access. With ample natural light, this room already functions beautifully but offers further potential for customisation with a simple upgrade. The first-floor layout has been reconfigured to accommodate the addition of a recently completed attic conversion. This floor offers three tastefully finished bedrooms, each with bespoke built-in storage and immaculate flooring throughout. A newly installed bespoke staircase leads to the attic level, currently used by the owner as a fourth bedroom with an en suite shower room. This space is presented in show-home condition and, while currently in use as a bedroom, it benefits from planning permission for use as storage or a home office—offering real flexibility for future owners. Storage has been thoughtfully integrated throughout the house, with both ground and upper floors offering practical and attractive solutions. The overall flow and design of the home create a calm, functional, and stylish living environment. To the rear, the property benefits from vehicular access and private parking—an exceptional advantage in a central city location. The large garden offers plentiful space for gardening, outdoor relaxation. Living at No. 44 Michael Street offers the best of Kilkenny City living—historic charm, modern convenience, and a rare opportunity to reside in one of the city's most picturesque and well-connected streets.
