THIS elegant period home is on a terrace originally dubbed, in the 19th century, as 'Idrone Sur Mer'. The south County Dublin seafront is very much part of the charm at No 25 Idrone Terrace, a lovely two-storey over-gardenlevel house in Blackrock which enjoys dramatic views of Dublin Bay across to Howth. With 325sq m (3,500sq ft) of floor space, rooms are decidedly generous with tall ceilings, ornate plaster cornices, antique marble fireplaces and sash windows.
The house was restored in 2005, with consideration given to those characteristic period features as well as a nod to modern comforts . . . especially in the big family kitchen with double doors opening to an inviting breakfast room with fireplace.
Accommodation comprises the entrance hall, a drawing room interconnecting to the dining room, a living room, kitchen, breakfast room, four bedrooms . . . all en-suite . . . and a guest cloakroom. To the rear is a fully landscaped and south-facing garden. Both the kitchen and living room open to the garden through French doors. There is is also off-street parking to the rear.
Idrone Terrace enjoys an ideal location close to every amenity including shops, supermarkets, restaurants, Blackrock village and also Dun Laoghaire town centre and marina. The city centre is just four miles away, easily accessible with a short hop on the Dart.
