Transformed Dublin Home: A Model of Urban Comfort and Sustainability
In Dublin 6, a once-rental property has been transformed into a modern, comfortable, and sustainable family home. Originally purchased for €535,000 in 2019, this property at 243 Kimmage Road Lower has undergone a significant renovation, now offering over 159 square feet of living space, including a newly converted attic room. Today, it stands as a testament to excellent design, energy efficiency, and tailored family living, now listed for €850,000 by DNG.
A Serene Escape In The Heart Of The City
According to the homeowners, the decision to purchase this property stemmed from their desire for a peaceful urban retreat. They were drawn to its westerly exposure and ample gardens, which provided a natural barrier from the city bustle. “When we bought the house, it was in poor state with about five people living there,” the owners explained. “We wanted a calm space, and now, you really forget you live so close to everything when you’re in the back garden.” This attention to planning and design ensures that the home’s backyard, with its lush landscaping and dual patios, offers a tranquil oasis amidst the urban setting.
Open Concept Design Enhances Everyday Living
The innovative design of 243 Kimmage Road Lower employs a double-fronted layout. This arrangement not only provides a dedicated living room to the front but also ensures a seamless flow throughout the ground floor. The main living space is an open-plan arrangement, combining kitchen, dining, and lounge areas, enhancing both functionality and social cohesion.
The open-plan design facilitates a clear line of sight from the front door to the rear garden. This not only maximizes natural light but also creates a sense of openness. The use of glazed double doors links the living spaces with the outdoor area, seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor living. This architectural choice optimizes the use of space, enhancing summer enjoyment of the outdoor patios.
