Whether it’s climbing the walls, bulking up, making music or having a cookout, this is a stylish four-bedroom Phibsborough home for hobbyists that offers a good balance of living space and accommodation, €895k.
Just off the North Circular Road, around the corner from the Green Line Luas stop in Phibsborough, is a corner site semi that has made the most of its plot size.
Built in 1930, it last sold for €530,000 in 2019, before the current owners renovated it. This included rewiring and replumbing it. They also reconfigured some of the layout.

Now it opens into fashionable dark floors, is decorated in warm pumpkin spice colours and mixes mid-century furnishings with contemporary pieces.
It also has some talking-point garden features.
It has two interconnecting reception rooms. There’s an inset stove in the front living room whose walls are painted a steel blue with a contrasting crisp white on the coving and ceiling.
A pumpkin-coloured sofa, a cognac leather armchair and a sideboard by Danish design firm Pedersen under the window which sets the mid-century mood throughout.
Officially a dining room but set up as a second lounge, the back room opens directly out to the garden.
The broken-plan kitchen is accessed from the hall.
Here the roof was raised to let in more light, and it has a galley kitchen set-up that is practical and functional.
The counters have tiled splashbacks set in a checkered pattern that almost resembles a madras print and riffs off the overall mid-century vibes.
There’s a walk-in pantry off it.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and the family bathroom, two good-size doubles and two box rooms.
The property extends to 140 square metres, of which 19 square metres inside are given over to hobbies.
There is a large gym set up in the utility, which extends to 12 square metres, with a guest WC next to it.
And a further seven square metres upstairs is given over to the making of music.
The smaller of the box rooms has been redesigned as a music studio, complete with acoustically insulated floors, ceiling and the walls. There is no reverberation.
The back garden is the real talking point here.
In addition to the hobby rooms inside, there’s a climbing wall, an LED-lit training board that is app-connected to offer almost a quarter of a million sequences to stretch and flex your endurance.
If you’re more of a social butterfly, then the cookout area, which features covered dining and lounging spaces and a barbecue area, might just get your pulse racing.
Agents Sherry FitzGerald Phibsborough is seeking €895,000 for the D BER-rated fine family home, which is set in a quiet cul-de-sac.
