Description
DNG are delighted to present 79 Harold's Cross Road, a charming mid-19th century period home boasting a rare blend of original features, generous proportions, and an exceptionally large rear garden. Set behind a characterful period façade, this c.1840s property offers a unique opportunity to secure a residence full of charm in one of Dublin's most desirable city neighbourhoods. With a beautifully matured east-facing garden stretching approximately 105 feet and a fully insulated detached studio to the rear, this is a home of exceptional appeal and potential.
The accommodation extends to approximately 102 sq.m and comprises an inviting entrance hallway, a front living room featuring original window shutters, kitchen with its original fireplace, a utility area, and a versatile downstairs bedroom. Upstairs are two further bedrooms, both enhanced by period details including original fireplaces. To the rear, the extensive garden offers a true oasis, complete with original stone boundary walls and a rich array of mature planting—pear, fig, apple, and walnut trees, as well as eco print flora. The detached studio, built c.2014 and measuring approx. 14 sq.m, is fully insulated and ideal for use as a home office, creative space, or guest accommodation. Additional features include original sash windows to the front, a beautifully preserved staircase, double-glazed windows to the rear, and a gas boiler installed in 2023.
Located in the heart of Harold's Cross, No. 79 enjoys all the charm of a well-established village atmosphere while being just minutes from the city centre. The area is renowned for its vibrant café culture, excellent local eateries, and independent shops, making day-to-day living both convenient and enjoyable. Nearby Harold's Cross Park offers beautifully maintained green space, while the Grand Canal and surrounding neighbourhoods—Rathmines, Terenure, and Portobello—add to the area's eclectic urban appeal. The area is also well-served by schools, bus routes, and cycle paths, making it a top choice for families, professionals, and creatives alike. This is city living at its best: rich in character, connected in location, and surrounded by a true sense of community. Accommodation
