16 Kingsland Parade, Portobello, Dublin 8, D08 E7T8.

Owen Reilly are delighted to present 16 Kingsland Parade, a truly exceptional mid-terrace Victorian residence dating from 1883, superbly located on this highly sought-after, tree-lined residential street in the heart of fashionable Portobello.

The property has been the subject of an extensive, meticulous restoration and refurbishment programme in recent years, completed to an impeccable standard. Great care has been taken to enhance and preserve the original character of the house while introducing thoughtful contemporary design, comfort and efficiency. The result is a home that combines the charm and authenticity of its Victorian heritage with all the conveniences of modern living.

Immediately upon arrival, the red brick façade makes a strong first impression. Carefully cleaned and repointed to conservation standard, the exterior reflects the craftsmanship of the era while presenting a crisp and elegant street presence. This sets the tone for what lies within.

Stepping inside, the ground floor opens directly into a warm and inviting living room. Here, high ceilings create a wonderful sense of space, further enhanced by exposed timber ceiling joists that highlight the home’s period character. A brick chimney breast with an inset cast-iron stove forms a striking focal point, adding both atmosphere and an additional heat source, while dark timber floorboards complete the rich, welcoming aesthetic. Beyond lies the kitchen, which has been stylishly appointed with contemporary fittings and high-quality appliances. A separate utility and a beautifully finished shower room complete the accommodation at this level, bringing both practicality and modern convenience.

The first floor comprises two bedrooms – a generous double to the front and a cosy single to the rear. Both rooms benefit from vaulted ceilings and the addition of new roof windows, ensuring they are bathed in natural light throughout the day. The careful blending of original proportions with clever modern interventions creates an atmosphere that is both comfortable and uplifting.

What sets 16 Kingsland Parade apart is the depth of the renovation and the level of investment made in the unseen elements of the home over the past three years. Externally, the roof has been completely replaced and the entire structure fully insulated, greatly improving thermal efficiency. All doors and windows have been replaced with high-performance units to further enhance energy performance.

Internally, the property has been entirely replumbed, with a new combi boiler, gas meter, and appliances installed. The heating system is supported by smart controls, allowing for effortless and efficient temperature management, and complemented by the feature wood-burning stove. A dedicated wet room was also created as part of the bathroom renovation. Equally comprehensive upgrades were carried out on the electrical system, with a full rewire, professional-grade network cabling throughout, and the installation of solar-powered roof lights with integrated rain sensors. Smart smoke detectors, additional roof windows, and a complete suite of new kitchen appliances were also added, ensuring every aspect of the home is both safe and future-proof.

16 Kingsland Parade represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully modernised Victorian home where no detail has been overlooked. Beautifully finished, superbly located, and ready for immediate occupation, it is a house that perfectly balances period elegance with 21st-century style.
