Description

Owen Reilly present this charming semi-detached period house, dating back to the 1840s. Predating the red brick properties that now surround it, 17a Synge Street features a fascinating lineage, marked on the Ordnance Survey maps from 1840, and fronting onto what is now Harrington Street. A standout feature of this property is the stunning mural on the Synge Lane side, painted by the renowned James Kirwan, which adds a touch of artistic flair to the home’s exterior. This home is not a protected structure, and offers fantastic potential with a lapsed planning permission for an extension, providing scope for further development. The house is rich in character and retains many original features, including its classic proportions and high ceilings. The well-proportioned accommodation comprises entrance hall, living room with fireplace, dining room, kitchen, and rear garden. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and bathroom, offering spacious living in a highly sought-after location. The current owner has lovingly maintained the property, providing a blend of classic period charm and modern convenience. More about the location...
