Occupying a generous site of approximately 0.24 acres, this semi-detached dormer bungalow offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property with exceptional potential in a highly desirable and convenient location. While the home requires refurbishment and modernisation, it presents an outstanding canvas for transformation, whether as a forever family home or a rewarding investment project. The ground floor accommodation is both spacious and versatile. To the front of the property are two well-proportioned reception rooms, both enjoying an elevated aspect overlooking the majority of the site. To the rear, a large kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home, with ample space for redesign into a modern open-plan kitchen ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Adjacent to this is a sun room that enjoys views over the garden and provides a wonderful additional living space filled with natural light. The ground floor also benefits from a separate office, ideal for remote working or study, a bathroom, and a practical utility room, adding further convenience and functionality. Upstairs, the first floor comprises three bedrooms, each offering comfortable proportions and excellent potential for upgrading to suit modern standards. With thoughtful refurbishment, these rooms could become bright and inviting spaces tailored to individual needs. One of the standout features of this property is the substantial site on which it stands. The approximately 0.24-acre plot provides enormous scope to extend the existing accommodation or reimagine the layout entirely (subject to planning permission). In addition, there are three garages positioned to the side of the property, representing a significant asset. These garages offer excellent storage, workshop potential, or further development opportunities, depending on requirements. Another notable advantage is that there was previously lapsed planning permission for a vehicle entrance to the front, indicating potential for improved access, subject to reapplication and approval. Ideally situated just a short stroll from the vibrant suburb of St. Lukes, the property enjoys proximity to a thriving community atmosphere with popular cafés, shops, and local services. It is also superbly located within walking distance of Cork City centre, ensuring easy access to schools, transport links, business districts, and a wide range of amenities. Combining location, space, and immense potential, this property represents a truly exciting opportunity in one of Cork’s most sought-after areas.
