The street is a mix of Georgian townhouses, new Cluid housing, Dublin City Council flats and Victorian villas.
Number 43 is one of the latter, an end terrace red brick with granite steps leading up to entrance level on the first floor.
The three-bedroom plus converted attic property is on the corner with Emmet Street and comes with valuable off-street parking from the latter.
Inside, the smartly presented house extends to 119 square metres. The main entrance is via the granite steps at the front, where there is a good-sized entrance hall and two roomy double bedrooms. On the return is the main bathroom.
The kitchen and living room are downstairs. Drivers will likely enter the house from its off-street parking, through a glazed porch that leads into the kitchen, which is at the back of the house.
The eat-in room includes shaker-style cabinetry, a large range-style cooker and a small island.
The living room is at the front and has an open hearth as a focal point.
The property’s third bedroom is in the return at this level.
At the front, there is a pantry cum utility and laundry room that extends under the stone steps with a door opening out to the lightwell. Many of the neighbours have installed steps leading up to the street from here and could be installed, subject to the necessary planning.
The property includes a converted attic that gives you an additional 18 square metres of space and where there is also a shower room.
The property is within a stone’s throw of Corke Park and is within warm bread for breakfast distance of Russell Street Bakery.
Earlier this year, Poetry Ireland's new home officially opened at nearby number 11 Parnell Square East, heralding the first of the new institutions to take up residence in what is being called a new cultural quarter.
The north inner city recently welcomed new artists' studios to O’Connell Street, and Irish National Opera recently purchased the former Dublin Central Mission Methodist Church on Abbey Street to create its first permanent home.
Should you wish to further upgrade the existing house, the property falls within the areas covered by the Living City Initiative tax breaks on refurbishments costing more than €5,000. You can read more about it here.
