50 Clanbrassil Street Upper
Portobello
Dublin 8
D08 Y5DC

Number 50 Clanbrassil Street Upper is a most handsome early Victorian mid-terrace family home, nicely set back from the road and benefiting from off street parking. Arranged over two levels, the property retains many original period features to include ceiling coving, window shutters and original fireplaces. This warm and inviting home has been in the same ownership for over 40 years and has been lovingly cared for and maintained throughout this time. No. 50 presents a wonderful opportunity for the potential buyer to make this beautiful home of distinction their own.

Internally, the accommodation extends to 137 sq. m / 1,475 sq. ft approx. and provides a good balance of both living and bedroom space. The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hallway with feature high ceilings, an elegant drawing room with double doors to dining room, both with feature original fireplaces, a modern kitchen with utility area and a shower room. Upstairs, there is a family bathroom and three double bedrooms, the main (currently in use as a living room) spanning the width of the property with two windows overlooking the front. The property is further enhanced by its large walled landscaped rear garden which is well stocked with mature specimen plants and fruit trees, offering potential to extend, if so desired (subject to planning permission). Planning permission was granted in 2007 for a 28 sq. m kitchen/living room extension, now expired ref: 5172/07.

To the front, the railed garden and driveway is laid out mainly in gravel and is bordered by shrubs and plants in a raised rockery.

The location is second to none, ideally positioned in Portobello, the heart of fashionable City Centre location a stone’s throw from the banks of Grand Canal. Easy access is afforded to all local amenities to include cafes, restaurants and food stores such as Bastible and the Fumbally, The Corner Butcher and Artisan Deli, Gaillot & Grey and Little Bird coffee shops, to name but a few. St Stephens Green and the Camden Quarter is within a gentle stroll. Excellent public transport links include the Luas green line at Harcourt Street and the Dublin Bike stations at Grantham Street and Portobello are close by, making the car a luxury as opposed to a necessity.
Viewing of this wonderful home is highly recommended.

Portobello is an area stretching westwards from South Richmond Street as far as Upper Clanbrassil Street bordered on the north by the South Circular Road and on the south by the Grand Canal. As a fast-expanding Dublin suburb during the 19th century, Portobello attracted many upwardly-mobile families whose members went on to play important roles in politics, the arts and the sciences.
