Sherry FitzGerald are delighted to present 60 Leix Road to the market, a truly special two-bedroom home ideally positioned on this sought-after road in the heart of Cabra. Originally built in the 1930s, the property underwent a complete transformation in 2021, including full rewiring, replumbing and the addition of a high-quality rear extension, resulting in a beautifully curated home. Extending to approximately 83 sqm., the house enjoys a private, south-facing rear aspect and is not overlooked, providing a peaceful and light-filled living environment. The property flows effortlessly, blending original period features with a thoughtfully designed contemporary extension. Original doors and hardwood floors have been carefully restored and retained, while subtle curved wall details and fireplace surround, add warmth and character to the main living space.

Upon entering, a welcoming entrance hall opens into a bright open-plan living area, enhanced by a large picture window and practical understairs storage. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen layout is both functional and well considered. A cleverly concealed utility room and guest wc are positioned centrally, finished with polished concrete flooring and fitted with an Alape bucket sink, Crosswater fittings and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, while discreet built-in storage sits opposite.

To the rear, the kitchen is set within a striking, light-filled extension featuring two skylights and large aluminium sliding doors that open onto the private south-facing garden. The space incorporates underfloor heating, polished concrete flooring, and bespoke birch plywood joinery, including a built-in seating bench and generous storage. The contemporary Reform kitchen is finished to a high standard, complete with a Franke sink, Grohe mixer tap and Moebe ceramic lighting.

Upstairs, original hardwood flooring continues throughout, complemented by a soft, cohesive palette. The bathroom is finished in microcement and features a Dornbracht rain shower, Crosswater fittings, Artemide wall lighting and a repurposed antique sideboard with a marble top. The main bedroom to the front retains its original fireplace and includes custom-built wardrobes with Elfa shelving and an oak-finished windowsill. A second bedroom to the rear benefits from a south-facing aspect, making it ideal as a guest room or home office. The attic has also been fully insulated, adding to the overall efficiency of the home.

Conveniently located, 60 Leix Road is within easy reach of a wide range of local amenities, including schools, shops, cafes and recreational facilities. The Phoenix Park and Botanic Gardens are both within walking distance, offering excellent green space for outdoor enjoyment. The nearby villages of Phibsborough and Stoneybatter, along with TUD Grangegorman, are also just a short stroll away, adding to the area’s appeal. For commuters, the location is well served by public transport, with frequent bus routes, Broombridge Train Station and the Cabra and Phibsborough Luas stops all close by. The N3 and M50 are easily accessible, providing convenient connections across the city and beyond, while Dublin Airport is approximately a 20-minute drive away.
