Dublin, Clonskeagh, Ireland

Occupying a generous quarter-acre plot on one of Dublin 14’s most prestigious roads, this substantial detached home presents exceptional development potential. Adjacent and nearby properties set a strong precedent for ambitious expansion, highlighting the remarkable scope to reimagine this site. Designed and built by its civil engineer owner in 1973, the property combines mature, secluded gardens with a prime location just 1km from Milltown Village and the Luas, and a short 4km walk to St Stephen’s Green.

Spanning approximately 161 sq.m. across its primary levels, the home offers a bright and balanced layout ideal for family living. The ground floor features an entrance hall, an elegant living room, formal dining room, sitting room, and guest cloakroom. To the rear, a generous family room, breakfast room, kitchen, and utility room create a versatile footprint for entertaining and daily routines.

The first floor comprises four large bedrooms alongside a recently upgraded shower room. Adding to its significant future potential, a vast third-storey attic level already features full room-height ceilings and front- and rear-facing windows. Converting this space offers a remarkably straightforward and cost-effective route to dramatically increase the overall floor area.

Further enhancing its expansion possibilities, planning permission was previously granted for a first-floor extension over existing, pre-laid foundations to the right-hand side. Homes of this calibre—offering an unmatched combination of plot size, prime location, and expansive future potential—rarely hit the market, making this an extraordinary opportunity to build a landmark forever home.
