Description
DNG is delighted to present 65 Russell Avenue, Drumcondra, a stunning red-brick, three-bedroom semi-detached home that seamlessly combines historic charm with modern convenience. This well-maintained property boasts original features, including a stained glass front door, bay window, solid timber flooring, ornate coving, timber doors and architraves, and period fireplaces, all of which reflect its timeless appeal. The home carries a rich historical legacy. Built in 1904 by the renowned Alexander Strain, whose houses are celebrated for their exceptional solidity and craftsmanship, 65 Russell Avenue stands as a testament to enduring quality. Adding to its historical significance, this property was once home to Edward Nixon, a watchmaker whose employer's jewellery shop, Hopkins & Hopkins, was destroyed during the 1916 Rising on Sackville Street (now O'Connell Street). From this very house, Edward Nixon wrote a letter to a joint Irish-British compensation group, seeking restitution for the loss of his tools. Documentation of his claim remains part of the historical narrative of this unique home. The accommodation is equally impressive, featuring an inviting entrance hallway, a cosy front living room, and an open-plan kitchen/dining area with sliding doors leading to a private, south-facing back garden. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious double bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the converted attic offers an additional double bedroom and a second bathroom. Nestled on Russell Avenue, a tranquil, tree-lined street known for its traditional railings and classic street lighting, this property sits in a close-knit, family-friendly community just 2km from Dublin city centre. Its location offers excellent convenience, with nearby educational institutions such as Technological University Dublin (Grangegorman), Dublin City University (Drumcondra), and esteemed secondary schools including Dominican College, Maryfield College, Belvedere College, and Mount Temple Comprehensive. Commuting is a breeze, with Drumcondra train station less than a three-minute walk away, the M50 just 2km north, and Dublin Airport a 10-minute drive. Offering a blend of historical significance, period charm, and modern living, 65 Russell Avenue is a truly unique home in an unbeatable location.
