KELLY BRADSHAW are delighted to present No. 10 Marguerite Road, Glasnevin a captivating period redbrick home on a road whose distinctive architecture has become an enduring part of the area's identity. With its handsome redbrick façades, elegant box bay windows and traditional ironwork, Marguerite Road retains the particular charm of Dublin's established residential streets, where the craftsmanship of an earlier era remains very much in evidence.

Behind the original ironmongered railings of No. 10 lies a home that has remained within the same family for many years, preserving an abundance of early 1900s detail that gives it a character all of its own. The original cornicing and decorative centre roses, the traditional staircase, the original fireplace and the beautiful hardwood floors are not simply features of the house; they are part of its history, lending each space a sense of authenticity that is increasingly difficult to find.

The history of Drumcondra as a residential suburb took shape during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as Dublin expanded beyond its older urban centre and handsome family homes established the character of its northern neighbourhoods. Marguerite Road belongs to this tradition of period residential architecture, its distinctive houses retain the proportions, detailing and individuality that continue to draw people to the area today.

On entering No. 10, the hallway immediately captures the eye, drawing it up towards the high ceilings. The staircase is a particularly handsome feature, with beautifully turned timber spindles, a substantial polished handrail and a traditional newel post giving it real presence. Rising through the house, it connects the different levels while showcasing the craftsmanship that defines the interior. Overhead, the original cornicing and centre rose provide further evidence of the care and decorative detail invested in homes of this period, while the hardwood flooring remains in excellent condition, a wonderful feature carried through the accommodation.

The formal parlour is a fine reception room, retaining the traditional proportions and atmosphere associated with the period. An original fireplace provides a natural focal point, complemented by the decorative ceiling detailing, box bay window and warm timber flooring. It is easy to appreciate the room's original purpose as a place to receive visitors and gather with family, while its enduring character offers a beautiful setting for contemporary living.

Adjacent to the parlour, the kitchen occupies what was formerly the dining room, a reminder of the traditional arrangement of the home and an appealing connection between its original design and the way it can be enjoyed today. To the rear, a ground floor bedroom provides welcome flexibility, whether for family members, visiting guests or those who would value a dedicated home office.

The staircase continues to the first-floor return, where a further bedroom sits alongside the family bathroom. Two additional bedrooms occupy the top floor, including the principal bedroom, whose two windows look out over the picturesque streetscape of Marguerite Road. It is a lovely outlook, taking in the very architecture that makes this address so distinctive.

One of the most appealing aspects of No. 10 is the survival of its original features in such fine condition. From the ironmongered railings at the front boundary to the cornicing, centre roses, fireplace and hardwood floors, the house offers a tangible connection to its architectural past. These details bring depth and individuality to the interior, creating a home whose appeal extends beyond its accommodation alone.

The rear garden provides a generous outdoor space to enjoy throughout the seasons, with room for children to play, family gatherings and relaxed afternoons outdoors. A substantial garage adds further practicality, providing off-street parking and useful additional space for storage.

The setting is equally appealing for family life. Drumcondra and neighbouring Glasnevin offer a well-established and excellent choice of primary and secondary schools, local shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities. The National Botanic Gardens provide a beautiful setting for a weekend stroll, while Griffith Park offers riverside walks, open green space and room for children to enjoy the outdoors. Glasnevin Cemetery and its visitor experience add another dimension to the neighbourhood, with a rich insight into Ireland's history close to home. Excellent transport connections also make travelling into Dublin city centre and across the city convenient.

No. 10 Marguerite Road is a home of enduring character, where original craftsmanship and a long family history come together in one of Drumcondra's distinctive period settings. For those who appreciate the beauty of traditional Dublin redbrick architecture, the warmth of original timber floors and the decorative details that give an older home its soul, this is a rare opportunity to make a home with genuine individuality part of their own family's story.
