Beautiful 2 bed house in the heart of Dublin
The house is a midterrace 2 bed property in the heart of the mature and peaceful neighbourhood of Portobello. It is in the city centre but a very quiet area. Less than 100 metres from the the Grand Canal with is beautiful walks and 200 metres from Camden Street, one of Dublin's busy nightlife areas. It is approximately 10 mins walk to Grafton Street and Trinity College.
The property comprises of a hallway leading to the open plan bright living room with internal courtyard and corridor to a compact kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped. There is a downstairs WC and washing and tumble dryer. The stairs leads to 2 double bedrooms (a main and guest room). There is a large modern bathroom with walk in shower. There is also a storage area to the rear and a small private yard. The property was completely rebuilt in 2013 so is very modern and B1 energy rated.
Amenities include the leafy banks of the Grand Canal with St Stephen's Green just a short stroll away. There are an abundance of artisan restaurants, delicatessens, pubs and coffee shops within the Portobello and the Camden Quarter.
Public transport is well served by the prime bus routes that pass along the South Circular Road. The Green Harcourt or Charlemont LUAS Line are both just is a few minutes walk away.

Lifestyle
Hi,
I am a University Lecturer in Medical Sciences. So I have a few weeks break over the summer. My brother has used this site for years to do house swaps and has had very positive experiences. I would like to do a house exchage with similar people, singles, couples who are retired or those whose children have grown up. I lived for years in the Netherlands and speak Dutch as well as native English. Also some French from school. I am very interested in culture, people, history, language and therefore I love to travel and spend some time to get to know the people and places.
