PERIOD PROPERTY / FULL RESTORATION PROJECT / DERELICT SINCE 2017 / UNRIVALLED POTENTIAL / GATED ENCLAVE / WEST FACING / SUPERBLY LOCATED
We are proud to present 4 St Peters Avenue, Phibsborough, Dublin 7 to the market, a Victorian home waiting patiently for its next chapter to begin. Some houses carry stories in their walls, and No. 4 is one of them. Time has paused here since 2017, but the character, craftsmanship, and quiet dignity of this mid-1800s home remain, ready to be brought back to life by someone who sees not what it currently is, but what it can become.
Hidden behind a gated entrance on a cobbled lane, this intimate terrace of just five Victorian homes feels a world away from the city’s pace. It’s easy to imagine the footsteps that once crossed the stones, the glow of gaslight in the windows, and the steady rhythm of life that shaped these homes over generations. Today, No. 4 stands ready for renewal, a full restoration project that invites imagination, care, and ambition.
Next door, No. 3 offers a compelling glimpse of what is possible. Once the same modest “two-up, two-down,” it has been thoughtfully transformed into a beautifully finished home, where period elegance meets modern comfort. No. 4 mirrors that footprint, offering the same opportunity to create something deeply personal, a home that respects its past while embracing contemporary living.
From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere shifts and speckles of quiet craftsmanship are captured by the eye. The hallway is a space where details still speak, fanlight glass above the door, high ceilings, decorative plasterwork. These are the touches that have endured, waiting to be appreciated once more. The living room, with its cast-iron fireplace and sash windows, feels like a space that has gathered stories over time, ready to be reimagined as a warm and welcoming retreat.
To the rear, the kitchen and dining area offer a blank slate, an opportunity to open, extend, and shape the heart of the home (subject to planning permission). Beyond, the west-facing garden captures the afternoon and evening light, a small but precious outdoor space where long summer evenings can unfold quietly.
Upstairs, two double bedrooms continue the sense of history, each with original fireplaces that anchor the rooms in their past. Above, the attic space offers further potential, as seen in neighbouring homes, for a conversion that could become a bright workspace, studio, or additional room to suit modern life.
Phibsborough itself has evolved into one of Dublin’s most vibrant and characterful neighbourhoods, a place where old and new sit comfortably side by side. From the nearby Botanic Gardens to the Royal Canal, and the ever-growing selection of cafés and gastropubs, there is a strong sense of community and creativity here. The LUAS Green Line is just moments away, connecting you effortlessly to the city, while future transport developments promise even greater convenience.
No. 4 is not without its challenges. It requires a complete restoration, wiring, plumbing, roofing, and everything in between, but for the right buyer, that is part of the appeal. This is a chance to shape something meaningful, to restore a home with history and give it a future that feels just as rich.
Viewing is highly recommended for those who can see the beauty in what remains, and the potential in what could be.

Building Energy Rating (BERs) give information on how to make your home more energy efficient and reduce your energy costs. All properties bought, sold or rented require a BER. BERs carry ratings that compare the current energy efficiency and estimated costs of energy use with potential figures that a property could achieve. Potential figures are calculated by estimating what the energy efficiency and energy costs could be if energy saving measures were put in place. The rating measures the energy efficiency of your home using a grade from ‘A’ to ‘G’. An ‘A’ rating is the most efficient, while ‘G’ is the least efficient. The average efficiency grade to date is ‘D’. All properties are measured using the same calculations, so you can compare the energy efficiency of different properties.
