Description
Formerly known as “Iona House” during its days as a venerable guest house, No. 5 Iona Park is a very grand red brick detached family residence extending to approximately 3,660 sq ft (340 m²). An additional 355 sq ft (33 m²) is provided in the converted attic.
A comprehensive renovation in 2008 included a full refurbishment of the original house along with a substantial extension. 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 with de Gournay wallpaper and ceramic tiled floor welcomes you upon arrival. The ground floor boasts three original reception rooms, a large open-plan kitchen/dining/living room that spans the entire back of the house, a utility room interconnected with the garage, and a guest toilet just off the inner hall.
Upstairs, there are six generously sized bedrooms and a converted attic. The master bedroom resembles a hotel suite, featuring 'his and hers' walk-in wardrobes and a luxurious marble-tiled en suite bathroom. Three additional bathrooms/shower rooms serve the remaining bedrooms on the upper floors.
Outside, the front garden features elegant wrought-iron railings, a gated gravel driveway and a side garage with double doors. A pedestrian gate opens from the street to a granite path lined with neat box hedging. The rear garden benefits from a west-facing orientation and features a generous patio area with indian sandstone paving. Mature trees and shubbery which envelope the garden provide privacy and seclusion to create a tranquil outdoor retreat.
The leafy residential neighbourhood of Iona is highy 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.
