IT’S the site that will bring buyers to this three-bed semi at no 26 Firgrove, in Bishopstown.
A mid-level, mature property it’s an ideal trading up option, especially with all that room to improve.
The house has a wide corner site which, while it doesn’t provide enough room for a second dwelling, has plenty of ground for any remodelling of the existing house.
Described as a three to four bed by Kate Kearney of DNG Kevin Condon, the guide price reflects the solid saleability of the Firgrove area at €430,000.
And at that, the house needs modernisation, which will probably include an extension to maximise on the large site and location.
It’s around the corner from the Bishopstown Shopping Centre and a walk to Wilton and thereabouts.
Rooms in the present configuration include an open-plan living/ dining room, kitchen, back hallway with guest bathroom and a fourth bedroom/ study.
Overhead are two double rooms and a single with main bathroom.
The entrance has parking for two cars and the back garden comes with a shed and patio area with mature hedging and a solid block dividing wall.
