Property Description

Liam Reilly Auctioneers are delighted to bring No. 66 Iona Road, Dublin 9 to the market, a handsome Edwardian red-brick residence offering wonderful period character and considerable potential to create an exceptional family home.

Behind its distinctive red-brick façade, the property retains many attractive original features, including high ceilings, decorative cornicing, timber doors and joinery, feature fireplaces and generous bay-windowed reception rooms. The accommodation is bright and well-proportioned throughout, with a traditional entrance hall, spacious interconnected reception rooms and further accommodation to the rear and upper floors. While the property would benefit from comprehensive modernisation and refurbishment, its generous proportions, period detailing and character provide an excellent canvas for a purchaser wishing to restore and enhance a fine Dublin period home.

• The accommodation is substantial and arranged over multiple levels, with four bedrooms plus a separate study.
• The ground floor includes a 5.9m x 4.6m reception room, 4.6m x 4.3m dining room, 4.1m x 3.6m living room and 3.8m x 3.6m sitting room, giving the house unusually generous reception space.
• To the rear is a kitchen with adjoining utility area and ground-floor bathroom, while there is also useful storage off the hall.
• Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including particularly impressive principal rooms measuring approximately 6.0m x 4.6m and 4.6m x 4.6m, together with a study, a large 3.9m x 3.7m bathroom and separate WC.
• There are high ceilings, decorative cornicing, original-style panelled doors and several period fireplaces, all of which reinforce the character of the house.
• A number of rooms are particularly spacious and bright, with large sash-style windows and a bay-windowed reception room.
• There is considerable built-in/storage potential, including the existing shelving/storage room.
• The house is clearly in need of comprehensive modernisation and refurbishment, with dated finishes and visible areas requiring repair, but this also provides an excellent opportunity to restore and redesign the interior.
• Externally, there is a substantial mature rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn with established hedging and planting, together with a paved area immediately behind the house.
• There is also a detached/attached brick-built outbuilding within the rear garden area, offering useful storage and potential ancillary use, subject to any necessary permissions.
• The scale and character of this period red-brick property, as well as the depth and privacy of the garden is unrivalled in the area.

The property enjoys a highly sought-after location on Iona Road in Glasnevin, an established residential neighbourhood renowned for its attractive period houses and convenient proximity to Dublin City Centre. The area is well served by local shops, cafés, schools and public transport, with Drumcondra, Phibsborough, Glasnevin Village, the National Botanic Gardens and Griffith Park all within easy reach. Dublin City Centre is also readily accessible, making this an especially appealing location for those seeking a substantial period residence in one of Dublin 9's most established neighbourhoods.
