17 Kenmare Parade, Phibsborough, Dublin 7, D07YVF6

Built c. 1890, 17 Kenmare Parade is an utterly charming period residence full of style and character. Beyond the handsome full brick facade lies 89sqm (957 sqft) of beautiful accommodation reflective of the houses built in the Victorian era. The current owner has lovingly retained many of these key features and has had the original sash windows restored as well as keeping the ornate coving, panelling and the original staircase. There are five fireplaces throughout and a gas connection with an antique style radiator in the hallway. The ground floor accommodation comprises two reception rooms and a kitchen. French doors access a super cute private rear garden with a raised patio dining area. This vibrant garden is full of colour and beautiful aromas arising from the Foxgloves, lupins, canterbury bells, cosmos, bleeding heart, lily of the valley, snap dragons, primula vialli (poker plants), geraniums, wild sage, Boo boo's catnip, passion fruit, clematis (incl two Comtesse du Bouchard), solarum (one purple, one white), fuchsia, jenny ragged robin, delphiniums, bamboo (one of either side of new decking under egg chair), hollyhocks, camomile, creeping thyme, virginia stock, salvia, blackeyed susan, lavatera, and LOTS more.. The cottage garden plants are perennials, so they will flower year after year. The garden is also full of spring bulbs - daffodils, snowdrops, crocuses, bluebells. The first floor accommodation has been reconfigured to provide two very generously proportioned double bedrooms and a bathroom. There were originally four bedrooms. The master bedroom is a particularly lovely bright room. The spacious landing has access to the attic via a Stira stairs offering invaluable and easily accessible storage. There is resident on street disc parking available.
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. Phibsborough village was voted in the top 30 coolest neighbourhoods in the world by Time Out magazine in 2020. The areas of Stoneybatter, Smithfield and Grangegorman with all their amenities are all a short walk away with Temple Bar and the city centre within walking distance.

Public transport is readily available within minutes including the LUAS (Phibsborough and Broadstone stops) and numerous bus routes (north-south and east-west). The M50 allows easy access to the Airport and beyond. The planned Metro North station at the Mater is nearby offering convenient quick rail access to the Airport and town.
A key attraction of the area is the Blessington Basin and Royal Canal Park which are a mere 2-minute walk away, offering public open space and a recently upgraded playground.
