MOVEHOME ESTATE AGENTS ... proudly present a truly impressive 4/5-bedroom family home that comes to the market in what is considered as one of north Dublin's most sought after and established locations, close to the very corners of both Drumcondra & Fairview. Number 38 Clonliffe Road is a particularly handsome 5 storey period residence (circa 1885) providing approx.150 m / 1,615 ft of stunningly elegant and tastefully appointed accommodation throughout. Originally a 3-bedroom home which the current owners have transformed, extended, and insulated throughout with the reward of an excellent energy rating. The house is an expansive light filled dream and the release of this particular property to the market represents a rare and genuine opportunity to purchase a substantial period terraced family home that is without doubt one of the most wonderfully presented homes to come to the market this year in Dublin 3 and the care by the current owners results in the creation of a captivating and exemplary interior.

The red-brick exterior with large windows and granite sills, lintels, and plinth, give the viewer just a hint of the style and attention to detail that is on offer behind the beautiful original front door. The accommodation comprises a large welcoming hallway leading on to the a generously proportioned reception room to the front with high ceilings, original flooring polished and restored, large window (with original shutters) and ornate coving. The living room to the front has the fireplace covered to create more entertainment space as the main focal point, original wooden flooring, and a southerly orientation with light throughout the day. The interconnecting kitchen and breakfast room overlooks the breakfast balcony area and enjoys both a bespoke solid wood kitchen with Stanley range cooker and the original flooring. Double doors lead out to a decking area which is ideal for entertainment. The lower hall flows on and leads to the light filled dream master bedroom with an Italian bathroom which is located on the lower ground floor and is a very generous addition to the original structure.
