Situated on the south side of Iona Road, this fine Alexander Strain built Edwardian home is full of original features such as marble fireplaces, ceiling covings and stained glass window insets. The house has been well maintained over the years and now awaits a new owner seeking space, charm, character and a sunny rear garden.
The accommodation comprises an elegant hallway with many original features. There is a very large main living room with beautiful marble fireplace and bay window flooding the room with light. Double doors lead to the dining room also with the original marble fireplace and ceiling covings. Down a few steps the hallway leads to the breakfast room with original fireplace. The kitchen is fitted with a range of floor and wall units. Upstairs there are four large bedrooms, three doubles and a single room, two of the bedrooms have en suite shower rooms and three have original cast iron fireplaces. A w.c and separate shower room on the return completes the accommodation.
The gardens are a real feature of the property, the lawned front garden with original cast iron railings leads via a side entrance to the rear garden. Benefitting from a sunny southerly aspect the rear garden extends to approx. 24m, is laid in lawn with mature shrubs, useful brick-built outbuildings provide storage.
The location is simply superb, complemented by the nearby Botanic Gardens and Griffith Park, yet within walking distance of the city centre and convenient to the numerous shops, cafes, bars and restaurants Drumcondra, Glasnevin and Phibsborough have to offer. The area offers an abundance of schools and sports clubs. DCU and TU Universities are close by. The Four Courts, King's Inns, Bon Secours and the Mater Hospital are all within walking distance. The M50 Motorway, The M1 and Dublin Airport are within a few minutes' drive. The area is very well serviced by public transport; in close proximity to many bus routes; Drumcondra Rail station (10 minutes' walk) and the LUAS (20 minutes' walk) nearby.
