WHEN Alexander Strain transformed the architectural landscape around Glasnevin in the early 20th century, he could hardly have predicted that his house designs would remain sought after 100 years on.
No 12 Cremore Road, Dublin 11, combines the elegant layout of the period with an attractive interior design. Many 1930s features remain in this five-bed home, such as the wood-surround, tiled fireplaces and picture rails. There is 176sq m (1,900sq ft) of floor space overall.
The spacious entrance hall is typical of the '30s style, with stained glass filtering the light through the front door. Leading off are two interconnecting reception rooms with original fireplaces in each, and double sliding doors dividing the space. The floorboards in all reception areas have been sanded and varnished. The kitchen of No 12 has been extended to create a communal working and dining space. Off the kitchen is the utility room, while to the side is the garage.
Upstairs are four double bedrooms and one single, all with wooden floors. The main bathroom has a corner bath and separate shower. Outside to the front, the driveway offers additional off-street parking.
