Living over the shop has become something of a buzzword in the past few years, but in reality there are very few opportunities to actually explore this as an option. This apartment is one of two currently available over a retail development that includes a Spar Convenience Store, Post Office, Pharmacy, Barber and the traditional family owned bar and restaurant ‘The Laurels’.
EXPLORE INSIDE
The property has been vacant for some time, and previously operated as commercial. It needs a complete fitout and refurb, including kitchen and bathroom. As it has been vacant for some time it is likely to qualify for Government grants to support the works that are needed.
The front door leads directly onto the stairs and up to the first floor landing. Off the landing there are four rooms and a bathroom. There is a further room to the rear of one of these rooms. It is in disrepair but is spacious with good light from well-placed windows so has a lot of potential. The configuration of the rooms is flexible, there is an old fireplace in one room but apart from this there is nothing that indicates which space could best be adapted for use as bedrooms or living areas.
EXPLORE OUTSIDE
The entrance to no. 178 is via the side of the retail development, beside the barber shop. There is on-street parking outside the units and in nearby roads. Apart from the convenience of having a shop and pub/restaurant on your actual doorstep, the location is convenient in many other ways. There are good bus services available nearby, a range of sporting and leisure activities within reach, including Faugh’s GAA club, Spawell Golf academy and Carlisle Gym. Ashleaf Shopping Centre and Terenure are both a short spin away.
THE BOTTOM LINE
This will be a project for the new owner, but it has good potential either as a home or investment property.
