Description

Discerning house-hunters are in for a treat with the arrival of No.1 Iona Crescent, Glasnevin to the market; a distinguished double-fronted red brick detached residence that was once home to the master builder himself, Alexander Strain. Built in 1912 and extending to approximately 2,053 sq ft (191 m²), it is one of only a handful of double fronted detached Strain built houses. A comprehensive renovation undertaken in 2021 included a full refurbishment of the original house along with a subsequent attic conversion in 2023. This exquisite home now beautifully combines original period features such as fireplaces, ceiling cornices, doors and architraves with modern contemporary finishes in the kitchen and bathrooms. Other signature characteristics of this Strain-built residence include high ceilings and generous proportions throughout. A lovely reception entrance welcomes you upon arrival and runs front to back with a feature window overlooking the south-facing rear garden. The ground floor boasts three original reception rooms and a bespoke designed kitchen by Kube. A separate utility room interconnects with the garage which was rebuilt and widened to fit a car. A downstairs guest toilet is conveniently located just off the inner hall. Upstairs, there are four generously sized bedrooms and a converted attic. The master bedroom interconnects with bedroom no.4 which is currently in use as a walk-in wardrobe /dressing room. Bedroom no.4 also incorporates an en suite, cleverly hidden behind a wall of wardrobe doors. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the other bedrooms on this floor. A bespoke hand-made stairs made to match the main original staircase leads up to a converted attic. The attic floor is a well-designed space that could suit a variety of uses. It features five large Velux windows which provide elevated views of the surrounding environs along with the Dublin Mountains and other notable landmarks including The Spire and the iconic Poolbeg Chimneys. Outside, the front garden features elegant wrought-iron railings, a gated driveway and a side garage with automated door. A pedestrian gate opens from the street. The rear garden benefits from a south-facing orientation and a private aspect. The leafy residential neighbourhood of Iona is highly sought-after for good reason. Well regarded primary and secondary schools are within easy reach along with a selection of universities including DCU, Trinity College and the TUD campus at Grangegorman. In addition, Dublin's thriving docklands quarter, city centre, airport and M1/M50 motorway network are all easily accessible from this ultra-convenient address.
