A classic terraced house, smartly decorated and a short walk from the Phoenix Park, is ready to move into. This Stoneybatter residence sits next door to a corner shop, where you have milk and essentials on demand.
As one of the longest streets in this hip corner of Dublin 7, Oxmantown Road was developed by the Dublin Artisans' Dwelling Company (DADC) as quality housing for workers.
The first properties on the road were built in 1891, and when the last house was completed in 1908, they were rented out by the DADC to anyone with a job, proof they could afford the rent and references.
Lined by two-up, two-down redbrick terraces, number 50 is a couple of doors up from the Cowper Street intersection, at the North Circular Road end, and comes to market in mint condition.
It is also next door to a corner shop, an increasingly rare amenity that means you have milk, bread and essentials, quite literally on the doorstep.
Address: 50 Oxmantown Road, Stoneybatter, Dublin 7, D07 P8H3
Asking price: €525,000

An oak parquet covers the ground floor, adding warmth and continuity to the broken-plan living space, which is accessed via a small lobby that creates a boundary between the front door and the living space.
The polished flooring underfoot is indicative of the refurbishment upgrades throughout the 60-square-metre two-bedroom, one-bathroom terraced house.
Fully rewired, with energy-efficiency improvements that bring it to a C3 BER rating, the living space features a dining area at the front with street views.
The living area is in the centre of the house with a large, low-slung sofa set under the stairs and faces the party wall where a painting hangs on the chimney breast with open shelving in one of the alcoves and a desk in the other.
The kitchen is at the back and leads through to the living room.
While scullery-sized, it is light-filled, thanks to a fully-glazed back door that leads outside to a small, south-facing yard.
The kitchen has sky blue cabinetry running along both of its walls.
The property’s only bathroom is also here.
Smartly upgraded to a large shower room, it has a spacious stall and fashionable, black hardware throughout.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms.
The principal is at the front and runs the width of the property.
Its windows have plantation shutters to block out the morning light.
The room at the back is currently set up as a home office and has a wall of wardrobes, giving seven doors of storage, which really helps to keep the house clutter-free.
Agents Sherry FitzGerald Phibsborough is seeking €525,000 for the property, which has on-street residents’ disc parking.
