14 Albert Court was featured in The Irish Times

14 Albert Court was featured in The Irish Times. It’s easy to miss Albert Court East in Dublin 2. The narrow residential cul-de-sac located off Grand Canal Street Lower lies just opposite the junction of Macken Street, where the Treasury Building – now owned by Google – is located.

The quiet lane was developed in Victorian times – as was its parallel neighbour Albert Place East – though their architecture differs. While the wider Albert Place East is characterised by mainly two-storey redbrick town houses, Albert Court East (formerly named Moira Court) is a line of smaller, mainly one- and two-bed properties.

Since the early 2000s, both streets have undergone extensive renovations in tandem with the growth of nearby “Silicon Docks”, which makes these properties popular with both landlords and tech workers. What makes them special is their heritage architecture. The current owners purchased the property in 2022 for the sum of €580,000 and are now moving on from the two-bedroom house due to a growing family. Commending Hillport Construction on the renovations, the owners say nothing had to be done when they moved into number 14, which lies on a tiny lane to the right as you ascend the cul-de-sac, where there is on-street parking for two cars and a new electric charging point.
