Stylish Extension Meets Vintage Charm at 236 Howth Road, Killester

Tucked away just off the main Howth Road on a quiet access road, No. 236 Howth Road in Killester is a unique blend of classic 1950s architecture and thoughtful modern design.

What truly sets this semi-detached bungalow apart is the striking glass walkway—an inspired addition that links the original structure to a spacious open-plan extension at the rear. Flooded with natural light, this corridor does more than just connect spaces; it enhances them. It preserves the integrity of the original house, ensuring its rooms remain bright and airy, while creating a seamless flow to the contemporary living quarters.

Original Charm, Updated Comforts

The older part of the home is characterful and practical, featuring:

• A wide entrance hallway
• A cosy living room complete with fireplace and solid fuel stove
• Two generous bedrooms, one of which enjoys direct access to a private side garden
• A family bathroom with walk-in shower and whirlpool bath
• A handy utility room for everyday convenience

From the hallway, a spiral staircase leads up to a converted attic—now a stunning main bedroom suite with en suite bathroom, walk-in wardrobe, and a peaceful reading or office nook.

A Walkway with a View

The glazed walkway is a true architectural feature, offering floor-to-ceiling views of the side garden and a second larger garden. It gently transitions into a secondary living area with a picture window overlooking the garden and an open fire for cosy evenings.

Just a few steps below lies the inviting country-style kitchen. Bright and dual-aspect, it features a central island, a traditional range cooker, and an American-style fridge-freezer. The adjacent dining area opens out through French doors to a charming patio and the long back garden—ideal for outdoor entertaining or family life.
