THERE’S AN ELEMENT of surprise down this unassuming laneway in Stoneybatter, Dublin 7. Behind a seemingly rough and ready facade sits a 110 m² modern home filled with natural light that’s set over two floors.
A building that was completely reimagined by its architect owners, 8 Lucky Lane retained its exterior, so you’d be forgiven for thinking no one lives behind its industrial door.
Now on the market for €595,000, this utterly transformed three-bed property was the start of a plan to rejuvenate the laneway behind Aughrim Street – a project the current owners set their sights on when they bought this place in 2008.
This house’s upside-down layout results in the kitchen, living and dining area being upstairs and the bedrooms, utility and bathrooms residing downstairs. Upon entering the hallway from the front door, you’re met with a staircase and a wide central space that leads to the bedrooms. This is a well-lit space that’s finished with polished concrete floors that extend to every other room on this level.
Two terraces flank the large open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room on the upper floor resulting in a spacious and light-filled modern social space. Against the wood floors and exposed brickwork, the dark kitchen cabinets and integrated appliances provide great contrast and anchor the space.
The terraces in the open plan space aren’t the only two outdoor areas in this unique home. On the ground floor there is the entrance courtyard, which is large enough for a car, while the other courtyard sits at the back of the house. Two of the bedrooms have access to this outdoor space.
At the moment, there is a home office set up, which is ideal for the hybrid worker. However, this home’s central location means that trips to the office might increase, so it would easily transform into a bedroom if the space is needed. A glass wall and sliding door lead from this bedroom to the front courtyard.
The main bedroom to the back of the house has bespoke built in wardrobes and a full glass wall and sliding door that leads to the courtyard. It also benefits from an en suite shower room with a power shower and modern finishes throughout.
The other two bedrooms share the main bathroom, which is fully tiled and is home to bath as well as a shower.
For those home hunting in Dublin, Stoneybatter may need little in the way of introduction. Pretty much walking distance from everything north and south city has to offer, this is a well-designed and unique home, sure to delight anyone who steps over its threshold.
8 Lucky Lane, Aughrim Street, Stoneybatter, Dublin 7 is on the market for €595,000 through MOVEHOME Estate Agents.

Don’t cut their pay, completely remove the DUP’s pay. Let’s see how long they want to sit on the sidelines when they are flat broke. They can have sectarianism or a salary, they can’t have both.
@Seán Ó Briain: Rumours are rife that the DUP said yes for the first time since the Old Testament, they say God and country are important but cash is king.
@Seán Ó Briain: And make Brandon Lewis redundant too.
@Seán Ó Briain: their pals in the UVF could spot them a few quid from their drug money. Removing the protocol would be a giant carrot for them.
@Gerard McConnell: Always said: Loyal to the Half Crown.
Why ‘soon’? Why not now?!
I heard that interview where Brandon Lewis said that Jews were being prevented from practicing their faith. What kind of interviewer let’s him get away without explaining that.
We are allowing politicians and media influencers of all shades to make daft claims without being called to account.
@Pat Duggan: and orange one
@Stephen Walshe: This is just one example of the influence being wielded by probably less than 20% of the population. People with media influence capability are being allowed to convert the other 80% who do not use their critical powers to test the accuracy of what it being promoted. It used to be called propaganda.
Why is the Journal repeating the lie that the protocol is preventing the jewish community from practicing their faith? This has been proven to be untrue!
@Niall Power: Never heard that! What is meant to be the reason?
@Niall Power: Had a few have you?
@Niall Power: — They’re only quoting Brandon Lewis’s lies above, but they should actually point out that he’s blatantly lying through his teeth, which seems to be on a par with most of the Tories in high office. They all spout real howlers, like Suella Braverman, who announced that NI is way behind the rest of the UK in the trade and economy area, which is the complete opposite of what the situation really is. The problem is that a lot of people believe the nonsense they come out with.
@Sean D: a few Jews??..
@Sean D: I don’t drink!
@sean o’dhubhghaill: lack of access to kosher foodstuffs.
@sean o’dhubhghaill: Most of the Kosher goods came from the UK however, the shops and community have since found EU suppliers to deliver.
@sean o’dhubhghaill: there is a community of 75 Orthodox Jews who are facing DELAYS on kosher foods from uk. Yet there is an orthodox Jewish community in Dublin who are not having issues sourcing produce from uk. Hardly an insurmountable issue.
@Niall Power: sure look it, anyone who has an IQ in double figures know that anything coming out of a Tory/DUP is likely to be BS
Haha the DUP will prove they are far more loyal to the half crown …then the crown
@David cotter: all parties up there take the queens shillings. Cash is king for them all
The DUP won’t play “in protest over the implementation of the Northern Ireland Protocol”. Also because they lost the election to the Taigs.
Proper bloody order! About time too. We’ll done Brandon Lewis.
have your say
