Description

Behind this simple exterior lies a home of character and atmosphere, dating from c.1870, this delightful residence retains the elegant classical proportions and wonderful period features of the original victorian era.

No. 16 was built as a single storey double fronted residence with two generous rooms either side of the hall. It wasn’t until the early 1900s that the house gained a two story extension and more importantly plumbing, so hence the extension brought the kitchen, bathroom and a third bedroom.
Once over the threshold you are greeted by a large entrance hall with original ceiling coving, dado rail and leaded fanlight over the front door. Into the right are two impressive and very gracious interconnecting reception rooms with matching open period fireplaces retrieved from the now demolished ESB houses on Fitzwilliam Street.

To the left of the hall you will find two large bedrooms, the first bedroom has an original cast iron fireplace while the rear bedroom has an inviting ensuite bathroom. To the rear of the property lies a generous eat-in kitchen with fitted units and electrical appliances. Upstairs there is a small yet charming third bedroom with a bathroom adjacent.

Outside the garden is mature, well planted and very private with a south easterly aspect.

Emor Street itself is one of the prettiest streets in the vicinity, located at city end of South Circular Road and within a ten/fifteen minute walk of St Stephen’s Green. The immediate area is home to some of Dublin’s finest restaurants, delis and coffee houses while the neighbouring Camden Quarter provides daily fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers from the local street vendors. A green Luas station is situated moments away on Harcourt Street making city centre and its environs easily accessible.
