The sale of this outstanding property represents the rarest of opportunities to acquire an imposing residence in this most prestigious location, where properties of this calibre rarely come to the Open Market. No 30 Iona Crescent has been brought to its maximum potential by the current owners with modern finish offset with original features one might expect of a Strain built home throughout this fine period residence. This 4 bedroom semi-detached red brick extends to almost 2,000 sqft (182sqm) and has instant appeal on approach while the interiors impress even further. Every aspect of this first rate family home has been planned and thought out thoroughly, refurbished and renovated in great sympathy with the character of the era while also providing a high degree of comfort and space for modern living.

‘Curb appeal’ is a phrase over used in property but without doubt applies here in spades from the double bay window to the ornate detail in the timber work which frames the attic room on the second floor. The property is accessed via wrought iron gate, red brick pillars with granite capping stone and a beautifully designed red and black tiled pathway which leads to a stunning doorway with original door, stained glass panels and full brick archway over head which is one of the tell-tale signs of Alexander Strain’s detailed designs. The sash windows have been preserved whilst the glass has been upgraded to ‘Energlaze microthin’ double glazing throughout to increase the energy efficiency.


Off the hallway there are two reception rooms which have been carefully renovated to preserve the intricate period features from fire surround to door frames, architraves and plasterwork. There are several original fireplaces still in tact they create a stunning focal point in each of the interconnecting living and dining rooms. To the rear the current owners have created a kitchen space which successfully connects the old with the new, the garden and the living accommodation. The open plan kitchen / living / dining room is the heart of the home with an island unit at the centre, a modern dual control Aga and a separate utility room complete with Fisher & Paykel hob. From here double doors connect this space to the formal reception rooms and the private low maintenance rear garden. A guest wc which is disguised under the stairs completes the ground floor accommodation.


The first floor comprises 3 bedrooms and the main bathroom. The Master Bedroom to the front of the property has a large footprint, the full width of the property with a bay window and feature fireplace and all the intricate detail in the plaster and doorframes and window surrounds evident in the reception rooms. There are two generous double rooms, bedroom two also has a feature fireplace while the room on the return is next to the main bathroom complete with a separate free standing bath double shower with rainwater option and wood panelling. The second floor is an original attic room with a new dormer window and additional shower room. This space could easily accommodate busy kids in the afternoon, Mom and Dad working from home or as a fourth bedroom. The view from the dormer window to the rear will be a surprise to those not familiar to the area with a vista as far as Dublin Airport in the distance.
