Take a VR tour of this Edwardian gem on Dublin's northside

The beautiful three-bed is just twenty minutes from Dublin city.

If you have Google Cardboard or another VR headset, you can enjoy a full 3D experience by tapping the ‘goggles’ icon.

FROM THE MOMENT you step through the door, 20 Iona Park in Glasnevin is a property that impresses.

The beautiful painted front door, inlaid with original stained-glass windows, is just one of the many period touches in the three-bedroom home, which dates back to the early twentieth century.

Iona Park is a quiet, leafy stretch of road, ten minutes from Drumcondra village and five from the Botanic Gardens. The elegant redbrick surrounds match the interior of the property, where high ceilings, classic coving and hardwood floors abound.

Constructed by one of Dublin’s original master-builders, Alexander Strain, this property is truly a northside gem, and the previous owners have worked to ensure the interior décor complements the house’s rich history.

Bay windows flood the space with natural light, and ornate feature fireplaces add a touch of class to the living area. The rear of the property has been extended into a bright and spacious family room overlooking the garden.

Upstairs, a feature fireplace can also be found in the master bedroom, along with a four-poster bed and built-in wardrobes.

Despite its 107-year history, the house has had enough subtle upgrades to allow for modern family living, with space for dining, entertaining and relaxing. Outside, a stoned patio area and garden both soak up plenty of sunlight.

The property served by a number of Dublin bus routes, and Drumcondra rail station is a ten-minute walk away, as are the pubs, cafés and shops of Drumcondra village.

    The comment about train crash happening under Trump presidency is nonsensical in my opinion.
    Hope people injured are okay and especially hope it was caused by human error rather than intent to harm.
