Description
We are delighted to present this excellent Victorian residence, offering c. 93 sq.m / 1,001 sq.ft of elegant yet wonderfully comfortable living space. Nestled in a tranquil corner of ever-popular Portobello, this beautifully maintained villa-style home is further enhanced by a private, west-facing garden—ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
Step inside No. 6 and be welcomed by a grand entrance hall featuring high ceilings, classic cornicing, tiled flooring, and an immediate sense of space and style. To the right, an exquisitely proportioned formal reception room awaits, complete with a bay window, original cast iron fireplace, and wide-planked wooden floors—perfectly capturing the charm and character of this special home.
Just a few steps up from the hallway are two bedrooms: a spacious double and a generous single, both featuring laminate wood flooring and original ceiling cornice detail.
The lower level of the home offers versatile living with a cozy nook off the hallway, a third bedroom currently in use as a home office, and a separate dining room that leads through to a bright, well-equipped kitchen with fitted units and integrated appliances. Beyond the kitchen lies the main bathroom, stylishly appointed for modern living.
To the rear, a low-maintenance west-facing garden provides a peaceful retreat, laid in paving and complemented by two useful outbuildings—a plumbed utility shed and a second shed for storage.
Desmond Street is a picturesque, tree-lined Victorian enclave located just off Lombard Street West, at the city end of South Circular Road. Enjoying an unbeatable location, it is within a 5–10 minute stroll of St. Stephen’s Green, Grafton Street, and The National Concert Hall. This is city centre living at its finest—where a mature, quiet residential setting meets every conceivable urban convenience.
