3 Iona Crescent, Glasnevin, Dublin 9

Quillsen are pleased to offer for sale this charming and beautifully maintained two-bedroom, double-fronted period home on Iona Crescent, ideally positioned in this highly sought-after and peaceful residential location just moments from Drumcondra Village. Built in 1929 by the acclaimed Alexander Strain, the property retains a wonderful sense of period character and charm. A welcoming entrance hallway leads to the beautifully proportioned sitting room, which runs from front to rear and features a stunning period fireplace, high ceilings, elegant coving and picture rails. A large window overlooks the front, while sliding doors open directly onto the delightful private patio garden. The dining room is equally impressive, with a lovely bay window overlooking the front, another attractive period fireplace, and excellent natural light flowing through from the kitchen.

The separate modern kitchen opens directly onto the rear garden, which is a particularly attractive feature of this wonderful home. The private patio terrace is beautifully tiled and bordered by granite-topped raised beds, planted with an abundance of flowers, trees and specimen planting, creating a wonderfully established and tranquil outdoor space. There is also gated side access running from the front of the property to the rear, together with a useful outside utility room.

Upstairs, there are two excellent double bedrooms, both benefiting from generous built-in storage. The principal bedroom features a lovely bay window overlooking the front along with feature cast iron fireplace, while the second bedroom enjoys windows extending from front to rear together with a charming period cast-iron fireplace. A well-proportioned family bathroom with windows to front and side completes the accommodation of this lovely home.

The property has been exceptionally well maintained and upgraded over the years, including rewiring in 2005, double glazing and a new patio door in 2015, granite-capped garden beds in 2016 and external insulation completed by Churchfield Home Services in 2020, including three sides wrapped while the red brick to the front was retained in its original structure. Further improvements include a garden irrigation system installed in 2022, a new patio in 2023, 300mm Rockwool attic insulation and water tank surround in 2024, and a new Ideal Max System S24 kW boiler installed in March 2026.

The location is superb, with Iona Crescent enjoying the very best of Drumcondra right on its doorstep. Drumcondra Village is a vibrant and well- established neighbourhood offering an excellent selection of cafés, restaurants, bars, local shops and everyday services, while Griffith Park, the Royal Canal, Croke Park and the National Botanic Gardens are all within easy reach. The area is particularly well connected, with Drumcondra railway station providing commuter rail services and numerous bus routes serving the surrounding area and city centre. Dublin City Centre is approximately 2km away, making this an exceptionally convenient address for those who want to enjoy city living while retaining a peaceful residential setting. There is also easy access to the M1, M50 and Dublin Airport, making this an ideal base for commuters and those travelling further afield.

This is a truly charming and beautifully presented period home in a superb location, offering excellent accommodation and a wonderful private garden. Early viewing with Paul Menton and Melanie Brady is recommended.
