21 May Street

KELLY BRADSHAW DALTON are pleased to present No.21 May Street, Drumcondra, Dublin 9, to the market.Nestled into a mature tree lined Street in this sought after location, sits a delightfully attractive two bedroom period redbrick property. Built in the late 1800s, No.21 has been lovingly renovated, upgraded and maintained by the current owners from 2012. Boasting most of the original features that one would expect from these artisan homes, yet providing all of the luxuries we expect today.Master builder Alexander Strain, famously renowned for shaping the city and suburbs of Dublin not only built but also resided in No. 21 May Street in 1903, speaking volumes of the craftsmanship and standard of this striking and solid build home.The handsome facade allows for kerb appeal in abundance, with the original stone archway, decorative porch tiles and front door still in situ. Framed by the original iron mongered fencing with outdoor area to the front, this truly is a picturesque home.Extending to c. 1151 Sq Ft, on entering you are greeted by a pleasant bright and spacious hallway, which has been lovingly restored, with cornicing and centre rose. The hall has grey floor tiling, white skirting and light grey walls. From the entrance hall is the first of two reception rooms, the formal living room. There is a beautiful reclaimed open marble fireplace with decorative inset adorning the room, perfect for those winter evenings. The beautiful cornicing and centre rose have been retained, and the hard wood flooring have been sanded and varnished.Further down the hall is the dining room, a stunning room with a shabby chic feel. Again there is a beautiful reclaimed open fireplace with tiled inset, hard wood varnished floors, built in storage and, views of the court yard. The understair storage has been converted into a plumbed utility room. Off the dining room is a stylish and modern fully fitted kitchen, with cream farm style cabinets and cream splash back and flooring. There is a delightful west-facing private courtyard off the kitchen, a suntrap dotted with potted plants and ideal for summer entertaining and al fresco dining. There is also a shed to the rear for added storage and a gate allowing access to the lane way. Upstairs on the split landing level, one is greeted by the beautifully renovated family bathroom. The bathroom has been fitted with a double shower, beige subway tiling, part wood panelled walls and white bathroom suite. Further up the winding staircase with original banisters are two double bedrooms. The master bedroom has dual aspect windows flooding the room with natural light, ample room for storage, laminate wood flooring and the original cast iron fireplace. The second room to the back is another great size double. Again this room has retained the original cast iron fireplace and has been fitted with laminate wood flooring.Superbly located within walking distance to the famous Croke Park, home of the GAA, and cannot be overstated having every conceivable amenity within walking distance. This beautiful family home is perfectly positioned on the edge of Dublin's Docklands, on the doorstep of the city centre and is served by an extensive public transport network which includes the DART, Dublin Bus services and Bus Eireann. Dublin business district, the IFSC is a great flurry of activity offering extensive restaurants, bars, shops and businesses. The Convention Centre is only a short stroll away as is the South Docks.This is an ideal city location and the perfect opportunity for investors with no rental caps in place, or for first time buyers alike.
