A Laois house filled with handmade architectural details is just begging for a sympathetic makeover to restore its beauty.
This Portlaoise three bedroom town house is newly on the market priced at €170,000. Full details below photos.
Number 7, Maglona terrace is on the Mountrath road, facing the former Centrepoint site.
It is one of a row of 10 iconic Portlaoise townhouses built by the Hynes family in the mid 1950s.
Humes Auctioneers list architectural details they all have such as chamfered walls, master craftsman joinery, terrazzo floors and even milk bottle receptacles.
"No.7 is one of the signature homes in the row being an end of terrace house with perhaps the biggest garden in the row. The property is in the original ownership of the family and comes to the market ready for a modernisation and to delight a new owner," they say.
The house has its original 1950s front door leading into a spacious hall with two reception rooms, a galley kitchen and utility space on the ground floor.
Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms and a family bathroom.
There is a third floor awaiting a makeover too.
"A beautiful feature of this home is the original handmade ladder that accesses the large attic space. This room enjoys a rooflight and additional storage space and will add to the already spacious accommodation."
To the rear of No. 7 Maglona is a large garden with several sheds and a garage accessing on to a private lawn with mature trees.
Maglona Terrace is within walking distance from a primary, secondary and third level college, shops, train station and Portlaoise town centre.
It has a BER rating of G. If unoccupied for two years, it is eligible for the Croí Conaithe vacant homes grant which gives the owner up to €70,000 towards renovation costs.
