THE redbrick terraces that define Phibsborough in Dublin 7 offer the kind of living space and period character that equivalent districts south of the river charge almost double in price for. No 106 Connaught Street is a good example, with a very realistic asking price of 695,000.
The property requires modernisation throughout, offering the chance for someone with design flair to make it their own. Behind the stately brick facade lies plenty of period character that includes original fireplaces, wide plank timber floors and plaster ceiling coving. To the rear is a large garden with vehicular access.
Accommodation briefly comprises two formal reception rooms; the kitchen; utility; sun room; three bedrooms; ensuite shower room and main bathroom.
Phibsborough and its closer Dublin 7 environs is about to undergo major transformation with the former Dalymount football ground sold for re-development and also a brand new shopping centre in the pipeline. The nearby former Grangegorman site will become the biggest third-level campus for DIT in the country.
No 106 offers the chance to grab some of that redbrick character in this up and coming district, and at a competitive price.
