Agent Avison Young is guiding a price of €2 million for a residential refurbishment and redevelopment opportunity in the north Dublin suburb of Drumcondra.
Located in the long-established residential address of Carberry Road, and next to the grounds of Maryfield College, the subject property comprises two large semidetached family houses with a total floor area of approximately 373.5sq m (4,021sq ft) which are interconnected at ground and attic levels. The property is positioned on a regular-shaped site area of approximately 0.181 hectares (0.448 acres), offering the prospective purchaser significant development potential.
The subject site is located entirely within an area zoned “Z1 – Residential” in the Dublin City Council Development Plan, with a feasibility study drawn up in advance of the sale illustrating its potential to accommodate two additional, large two-/three-storey, four-bedroom semidetached family residences or three, two-/three-storey townhouses.
The existing property alternatively offers the buyer a refurbishment opportunity, with the potential to upgrade the two houses or to reconfigure the existing accommodation for apartment use, subject to planning permission.
