18 Hamilton Street, South Circular Road, Dublin 8, D08 E2K6.

18 Hamilton Street is an impressive red brick mid-terrace period residence, beautifully restored and upgraded by its current owners with exceptional sensitivity to its original Victorian character. Perfectly situated on a popular tree-lined street just off the South Circular Road, this elegant home blends period charm with modern refinement.

From the moment you arrive, the meticulously restored red brick façade and original cast-iron railings give a glimpse of the care and craftsmanship that continue throughout. The exterior brickwork has been carefully cleaned and re-pointed with lime mortar, while the original front door has been fully restored and draft-proofed ensuring both authenticity and practicality.

Inside, the welcoming entrance hall leads to a gracious front living room — a space rich in atmosphere and period detail. Bespoke bi-folding doors open through to a beautifully fitted kitchen, complete with built-in banquette seating, ideal for convivial dining. Café-style shutters throughout the home enhance privacy while complementing the Victorian aesthetic.

From the kitchen, double French doors open to a stunningly landscaped rear garden, designed and completed by MDR Landscapes with low maintenance and year-round appeal in mind. The limestone-paved patio is framed by raised beds and mature greenery, interspersed with seasonal planting including hydrangeas, creating a tranquil city oasis.

A standout feature of the property is the bespoke garden studio designed by A–B Projects. This striking “Volume” garden office offers a bright and versatile workspace with large picture windows, ample built-in storage, and integrated wiring for power, ethernet, and Wi-Fi. A discreet covered area provides additional storage for bicycles. Beyond the office, the main outdoor area is arranged for alfresco dining and enjoys the benefit of rear pedestrian access to a private gated laneway.

A stylishly appointed bathroom is located off the entrance hallway, while upstairs there are two generous double bedrooms and a third single bedroom currently used as a home office. Thoughtful design throughout the house has maximised storage, with both attic spaces insulated, floored, and fitted with Stira access.

The property has been comprehensively upgraded for comfort and energy efficiency. Five original sash windows and the overdoor fanlight have been retrofitted with Fineo glazing — providing the thermal performance of triple glazing while preserving their period beauty. All remaining windows are double glazed, and the internal walls have been insulated and dry-lined. Upgraded guttering has been installed to both the front and rear of the house, ensuring ease of maintenance.

A truly exceptional home that effortlessly combines Victorian elegance, architectural integrity, and contemporary comfort — ready to welcome its next owners.
