Bloomfield Avenue is a wonderful tree-lined avenue of handsome Victorian homes in the heart of Portobello. No.1(built c.1830 as a terrace of 4 listed on the NIAH) is ideally positioned on the west side of the avenue benefiting from a sunny south-westerly rear garden. Behind the classic red brick exterior belies a warm interior. Having been completely reimagined and reconfigured, it marries many original period details with modern living and boasts an impressive B Energy Rating. Given the house's location, orientation and configuration it is flooded with natural light.
At hall level there is a welcoming entrance hall and two generous interconnecting reception rooms both with an abundance of character, wooden flooring and cast-iron radiators and offer picturesque views over the front and rear gardens.
Rising upstairs, there is a family bathroom on the return. The first floor has a clever design layout and accommodates 3 bedrooms with ample storage. The master with ensuite, step-in and built-in wardrobes, the second bedroom with a step-in wardrobe and the third bedroom with custom built-in wardrobe.
At garden level, the heart of the house comprises a beautiful modern Italian Arrital kitchen with Siltstone by Cosentino kitchen counters, large island and John Meade Carpentry custom wall cabinetry with in-built pull-out desk. The open plan kitchen layout leads into the dining area and out to the rear garden. The ground floor has underfloor heating throughout, a guest WC and additional under stairs storage room to the front.

It is further complemented by private landscaped gardens designed by Mark Grehan of the Garden and has the use of an electric roller shutter that provides off-street parking if needed.
Superbly located within the historic limits of the city and long since regarded as one of Dublin 8's premier roads, Bloomfield Avenue enjoys a very high level of amenity. The trees planted by Dublin City Council in the early nineties give the avenue a uniquely formal air. The Grand Canal at the top of the road has a pedestrian path and a cycle path, which runs from Portobello to Shelbourne Road and the Grand Canal Basin. The Grafton Street shopping district is less than 2km away on foot, there are several Dublin Bike stations nearby, as is the Luas at Charlemont & Harcourt Street making travel around the city and further afield an ease. The location itself offers a wide variety of primary and secondary schools and a superb choice of restaurants, coffee shops and shopping - all within walking distance.
