A rare opportunity to acquire an elegant double-fronted residence on this beautiful tree-lined road. These distinctive homes are highly prized and rarely come to the open market. No. 85 is presented in very good condition and retains many original period features including marble fireplaces, ornate centre rose, decorative coving, and a stained-glass front door. This fine period home offers an abundance of character along with the all-important benefit of an open-plan family kitchen, dining, and living area to the rear. The spacious house also benefits from an attic conversion and provides generous accommodation including five double bedrooms and four reception rooms, making it an ideal family home

The accommodation begins with an elegant entrance hallway featuring many original details. To the right is a very large living room with a beautiful marble fireplace and a bay window that floods the room with natural light. Pocket doors lead through to an impressive dining room with an original marble fireplace and an extended area ideal for accommodating a piano. To the left of the entrance hall is another spacious living room with a bay window and bar area. The fourth reception room is a relaxed family area with steps leading down to the open-plan kitchen and dining area, creating a wonderful space for modern family living and entertaining. A guest W.C. and utility room complete the accommodation on the ground floor. On the first return there is the main family bathroom and a double bedroom. The first floor comprises the main bedroom with walk in wardrobe and en-suite along with bedrooms two and three. On the second return there is bedroom five with en-suite. The converted attic completes the extensive accommodation at No. 85 Iona Road.

The front garden is perfectly manicured and retains its original limestone boundary and cast-iron railings, adding to the property's period charm. A side entrance leads to the rear garden, which features two patio areas - one located close to the house and another raised patio at the rear of the garden. The remainder of the garden is laid in lawn and includes useful storage units, creating a practical and private outdoor space.

The location is simply superb, complemented by the nearby National Botanic Gardens and Griffith Park, yet within walking distance of the city centre and convenient to the numerous shops, cafés, bars, and restaurants that Drumcondra, Glasnevin, and Phibsborough have to offer. The area offers an abundance of schools and sports clubs, while Dublin City University and Technological University Dublin are close by. Four Courts, King's Inns, Bon Secours Hospital Dublin, and Mater Misericordiae University Hospital are all within walking distance. Transport links are excellent, with the M50 Motorway, M1 Motorway, and Dublin Airport just a short drive away. The area is also very well served by public transport, with numerous bus routes nearby, Drumcondra Railway Station approximately a 10-minute walk away, and the Luas within around 20 minutes on foot.
