Out on its own in Glasnevin

30 Crescent Villas is a fine bay-fronted redbrick situated on a quiet street behind St Columba’s Church on Iona Road.

Situated on the corner of Crawford Avenue, the house was refurbished in 2009 when the owners had the property reroofed, rewired and a new heating system installed.

The house is unusual in that most properties in this desirable part of Glasnevin slash Drumcondra are semi-detached residences.

The house has two interconnecting reception rooms with lovely proportions and sliding doors between them.

The kitchen has maple units with a door leading out to a south-facing garden that is over 12m (40ft) long. There is vehicular rear access from Crawford Avenue and a garage, big enough for one car, at the end of the garden, essential given that much of the parking in this part of Dublin 9 is on-street.

The house has four bedrooms. Two are situated on the first floor.

Because the house is detached these two rooms have dual aspect windows with easterly light flooding the rooms in the morning.

The master is situated to the rear and has an en suite bathroom.

There are two more bedrooms under the eaves on the second floor.

The house which measures 169sq m (1,820sq ft) is asking €950,000 through agents SherryFitzGerald.

While most of the properties in the area are semi-detached, Ravenswood, number 88 Iona Road, which sold at auction in May of this year for €820,000 through agents Lisney, was similar in style in that it was also detached.

The three bedroom property measured 135sq m (1,450sq ft), had a 64ft south-facing garden with vehicular rear access from Gartan Avenue and required full refurbishment. It had an AMV of €675,000.
