DNG are delighted to present to the market Mona, 148 Clonliffe Road, a stunning
double bay-fronted Edwardian red-brick residence which oozes charm, elegance and
character throughout. Dating from circa 1907, this beautiful family home has been
lovingly maintained and retains an exceptional array of original architectural features,
including matching marble fireplaces in both reception rooms, ornate cornicing and
ceiling roses, the original front door with glazed surrounds, internal doors, skirting
boards and architraves. Generous floor-to-ceiling heights further enhance the
wonderful sense of space and grandeur throughout.
Mona is a fine example of the Edwardian red-brick houses that transformed Clonliffe
Road in the early twentieth century. More than a century later, the house retains a
remarkable degree of its original architectural character and authenticity.
Extending to approximately 135 sq. m., the property is deceptively spacious and
offers generous, well-proportioned accommodation over two floors. To the front,
a beautifully planted railed herb garden, abundant with culinary and aromatic herbs,
creates a distinctive and inviting approach to the handsome red-brick façade, while
the private, low-maintenance rear garden provides an ideal setting for al fresco
dining and outdoor entertaining.
The accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hallway with original polished
timber flooring and a striking original archway. The elegant bay-windowed front
drawing room features an original marble fireplace and double doors leading through
to the dining room, where a matching marble fireplace creates a particularly
impressive pair of interconnecting reception rooms.
To the rear is a bright, newly fitted handmade kitchen, thoughtfully designed to
combine contemporary practicality with the character of the house, together with a
substantial utility room and guest WC.
Upstairs, the bright and spacious landing leads to three generous double bedrooms,
each retaining its original fireplace, a fourth single bedroom and a fully tiled family
bathroom.
Mona represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally well-
preserved period home that successfully combines the proportions, craftsmanship
and character of the Edwardian era with the comforts required for contemporary
living.
Ideally positioned on Clonliffe Road, the property enjoys excellent access
to Drumcondra Village and Dublin city centre, together with an extensive range of
shops, cafés, restaurants, schools, sporting amenities and transport connections.
The location offers all the convenience of city living while retaining the established
residential character for which the area is so highly regarded.
With its striking red-brick façade, exceptional period detailing and beautifully
presented interiors, Mona is a distinctive Dublin home of enduring character.
