Description
Quillsen is pleased to present this substantial period home to the market. Requiring substantive renovation and refurbishment, No 78 is an attractive blank canvass offering that will appeal to both homeowners and investors alike. Ideally positioned at the city centre end of South Circular Road, and within minutes` walk of Grafton Street, St. Stephen`s Green and the Luas at Harcourt Street, the convenience of the location speaks for itself. Extending to approximately 165 sqm. (1,775 sqft.), the accommodation is generously proportioned throughout. At ground floor level, and situated off a gracious entrance hall, there are two elegant reception rooms retaining the scale and character typical of the period, together with an extended kitchen/breakfast room located at the rear return. The first floor was originally laid out with a large bedroom to the front that spanned the width of the house, a large bedroom to the rear, a bathroom, and a third bedroom at the rear return. The former main bedroom to the front has since been subdivided to create two separate bedrooms, while the extended rear return now accommodates a bedroom with a kitchenette area off, enhancing the property`s flexibility and potential.
