Description

Owen Reilly is delighted to present this unique one-bedroom apartment situated on the second floor of St Kevin’s Church built c. 1883 by by Sir Thomas Drew in a Gothic Revival style and converted in 1994 into residential apartments. Located in the heart of Portobello on Bloomfield Avenue just off the South Circular Road. Features include a south facing living room, original architraves and special feature arched window with stained glass in the living room, and vaulted timber ceilings giving abundance of character. The accommodation briefly comprises entrance hall, living/dining, newly fitted kitchen, double bedroom and a newly refurbished shower room. The property also comes with a secure, designated parking space located behind security gates and a secure bicycle storage area. Notably, Saint Kevin's stands as Ireland's first church-to-apartment conversion, with architect Mary Donohoe playing a key role in ensuring its architectural heritage remained central to the design—such as preserving the large Gothic window some units. Adjacent to the apartments, the original church hall was converted into a community centre, officially opening in 1995 after a refurbishment led by St Kevin’s Community Council. It has served Portobello residents ever since, reinforcing the building’s dual role in both residential and civic life. More about this location...
