Description
Inspiring, architecturally innovative, contemporary, light-filled, bold of personality etc. are just some of the adjectives that can be used to describe 58 John Dillon Street. Fully refurbished and extended in 2012 by Boyd Cody Architects and listed in various architectural publications, it was cleverly designed to fit the contours of its corner site. No.58 is a landmark building, a property shortlisted for multiple architectural awards, one that stands proud on the corner where John Dillon Street and Hanover Lane meet. The red brick exterior, sash windows and aluminium clad front entrance combine to create something that is at once architecturally beautiful and intriguing.
Above and beyond its architectural merit, No.58 is also a very practical, deceptively spacious, warm and inviting home. 46sq.m / 495 sq. ft. (approx.) of well-appointed accommodation awaits you, where a collaborative use of natural and man-made materials is featured to include solid oak, terrazzo, glass and Formica.
The house is entered through an impressive aluminium clad front door and once inside the large rooflights provide an uninterrupted view of the sky and flood the space with natural light. Originally the back yard of No.58, it now contains the dining area with banquette seating, galley kitchen and bathroom. The rear wall is finished in black Formica, serving as a wonderful backdrop to the expansive source of natural light in this area. The floors and walls of this space are finished in terrazzo with mirrors used to in various locations to extend and expand the perception of space. The living room offers the warmth of oak flooring with sash windows drawing your eye to the outside offering discreet glimpses of street-life. The main double bedroom features built in storage and there is a second bedroom, both with oak flooring and sash windows. The stunning bathroom is dressed in terrazzo and black Formica and allows for stargazing with a glass roof overhead the bathtub. Each room is divided from the next by satin-anodised, aluminium doors and screens.
Superbly located just off Francis Street, this home benefits from the numerous art galleries, antique shops and cafes that the street has to offer such as Soren and Son, Anti-Social Bar and Restaurant and Two Pups Coffee. It is also just a short walk to BIMM Institute Dublin, Saint Patrick's Park, Grafton Street, and Saint Stephen's Green. The Green and Red LUAS lines are also within walking distance and a number of regular bus routes travel into the city, as well as nearby Dublin Bikes stations making car a luxury not a necessity.
Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this fantastic property has to offer. Accommodation
