21 Rialto Street

Period charm, a fresh interior and a fantastic Dublin 8 location — No. 21 Rialto Street offers an exciting opportunity to put down roots in one of the city's most interesting and increasingly popular neighbourhoods.

Description
Dating back to circa 1905, this attractive two-bedroom end-of-terrace home extends to approximately 85 sq.m (915 sq.ft) and combines the character of a traditional Dublin residence with the convenience of modern city living. With its distinctive yellow-brick façade, attractive cast-iron fireplaces, two reception rooms, extended kitchen and generous rear garden, No. 21 has plenty to offer, particularly for first-time buyers looking for a home with character in a well-connected city location.

The property has recently been redecorated throughout, with new carpets fitted, creating a fresh and welcoming interior.

Accommodation begins with an entrance hallway leading to two separate reception rooms, both featuring attractive cast-iron fireplaces which provide a lovely reminder of the property's period origins. The front sitting room enjoys natural light through a large window overlooking the street, while the second reception room offers a comfortable additional living or dining space, with useful built-in storage.

To the rear, the extended kitchen is fitted with a range of modern units, generous worktop space and integrated cooking appliances. Large double glazed doors open directly onto the rear garden, bringing plenty of natural light into the kitchen and creating a lovely connection between the house and outdoor space. A separate utility area and a fully tiled downstairs shower room complete the ground-floor accommodation.

Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both freshly decorated and carpeted, with attractive feature fireplaces adding further period character.

Outside, the rear garden is a particularly appealing feature of the property. With a block paved patio area immediately outside the kitchen, a central garden space and mature trees towards the rear, it offers excellent potential to create a lovely outdoor retreat for relaxing, entertaining or gardening.
Additional features include uPVC double-glazed windows and gas-fired central heating.

Location
Rialto is one of Dublin 8's most characterful neighbourhoods, where traditional Dublin village life meets a growing independent food, café and cultural scene.

The area has enjoyed a renewed sense of energy in recent years, attracting buyers who appreciate its strong community atmosphere, attractive period streets and close proximity to the city centre. While retaining much of its original character, Rialto has welcomed an increasing number of independent businesses, cafés and neighbourhood destinations, making it an appealing place to call home.
The nearby South Circular Road offers an excellent selection of local shops, cafés and everyday conveniences. Popular neighbourhood venue The Circular, home to The Day Café, Coke Lane Pizza and a lively programme of local events, has become a firm favourite in the area.
The surrounding Dublin 8 neighbourhoods offer even more to discover. Kilmainham, the Liberties, Newmarket and Portobello are all easily accessible, providing a wonderful choice of restaurants, independent shops, markets and cultural attractions.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, the Grand Canal is close by, while the historic grounds of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, home to the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA), provide a beautiful setting for walking and recreation. The Phoenix Park and War Memorial Gardens are also within easy reach.

Transport and Connectivity
One of the major attractions of No. 21 is its excellent accessibility.
Rialto Luas stop on the Red Line is within easy reach, providing convenient connections to Dublin city centre, Heuston Station, Connolly Station and the wider Luas network. The Luas will have a direct interchange to the recently approved airport Metrolink service.

Regular Dublin Bus services operate through the surrounding area, while the city centre is also accessible on foot or by bicycle. Conveniently there is a Dublin City Council ‘BikeBunker’ storage facility to the side of the property.
St James's Hospital and the National Children's Hospital campus are nearby, making this a particularly convenient location for those working in the healthcare sector. The South Circular Road also provides easy access to surrounding neighbourhoods and the wider road network.

With its attractive period features, freshly presented accommodation, two reception rooms and generous rear garden, No. 21 Rialto Street represents a wonderful opportunity for first-time buyers seeking a home of character in the heart of Dublin 8.
