IF THE CAPITAL is still in your sights, even if you are now working from home the majority of the time, space and proximity to the city centre may be non-negotiable.
This week, we’ve found four generously-sized homes that will no doubt make working from home an absolute joy, from a detached five-bed in Clonskeagh to a mid-terraced period property in Fairview.
No 6 Ardilea Wood is a five-bed detached home Dublin’s south side. Spanning a whopping 325m², the rooms inside comprise a number of social spaces including a drawing room, dining room, family room and bright kitchen with a lovely adjoining breakfast room. Also on the ground floor, there’s a study, utility room and a guest toilet. There’s space for three cars to the front and a pretty back garden that’s accessed through the breakfast room.
On the first floor there are five big bedrooms, two of which are en suite while the others share the family bathroom. Located in Clonskeagh and minutes from UCD campus, everything the south side offers is on this home’s doorstep, from sports and schools to shops and social spots.
Number 24 Avoca Road is a south facing home with four bedrooms that’s spacious inside and out. With its large sunny garden and side access, the site is slightly elevated so it soaks up natural light. Over 188m² inside, the rooms on the ground floor comprise a dual aspect drawing room that runs to the back of the house and has doors to the back garden terrace. The kitchen is large and fully-fitted, ready for the next keen chef to get cooking while looking out at the garden. There’s also a guest toilet and family room that completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, all four bedrooms are large enough for double beds and two of them are en suite. With one upper and two lower terraces this very spacious and private garden has been very well maintained, and provides ample outdoor living and entertaining spaces.
This four bedroom detached period home with a floor area of 152 m² is spread across three levels and is located close to the city centre. The building dates back to the early 1900s, Hazeldon is a home with bright spacious rooms that enjoys great views of the Dublin mountains and and the city from the attic space. Many of the original features are still intact, from the wooden flooring to the cast iron fireplaces.
The ground floor comprises two interconnecting reception rooms along with a kitchen and breakfast room at the back that leads to the garden with side access. Upstairs sit the four spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms. High ceilings, lots of light and plenty of room make this a dream townhouse that’s super close to everything Dublin City has to offer.
A mid terraced period property that’s 200m² in size, this luxurious home is set across four levels. Although renovated and updated over the years, this Victorian five-bed home hasn’t lost its classic identity. Expect a mix of modern and period details inside with rooms comprising the elegant entrance hall that leads to the front living room with its large bay window, classic Victorian cornicing and a white marble fireplace. This room connects to the spacious kitchen and breakfast room that leads to the west facing back garden.
There is another living room that has the potential to be a sixth bedroom if needed. One of the bedrooms has a private patio area and a family bathroom. On the first floor return is the third bathroom and stairs lead to the first floor, where the main bedroom with its walk in wardrobe and en suite bathroom, is. Location on Inverness Road in Fairview, this house is close to everything, from shops and cafes to great transport links like Clontarf Road Dart Station.
