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 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.
