Office InvestmentA stylish period home in Blackrock has been converted to office accommodation and will be sold at auction on June 15th.

The three-storey building, offering 380.5sq m (4,096sq ft) of space, carries an AMV of €2.45 million from selling agent Lisney.

The building is being sold in a single lot but, in fact, the conversion has allowed for two fully distinct and self-contained office units.

This should particularly suit an owner-occupier but, given the attractive location at 23 Seapoint Avenue, directly across the street from the Seapoint Dart station, the property should appeal to investors of any kind.

The larger unit offers 265sq m (2,852sq ft) of space which includes a large reception area featuring a steel and ash staircase which rises under a 30ft high apex roof.

The working space has been left open-plan with wall-to-wall fitted shelves. This office also contains a small strong room.

The first floor comprises two medium-sized offices, one smaller office, one large office or meeting room and one boardroom.

There are also rest areas at this level, including a kitchen which opens onto a bright, yet secluded, roof terrace. There are toilets, a shower room and storage at this level.

There is a third floor reached via a spiral staircase from the boardroom and it offers either storage or space for an extra office.

Unit two measures 115.5sq m (1,243sq ft) and is built around a delightful stone garden. At ground level it has a reception area, two medium-sized offices, both with French doors onto the garden, plus the toilets. This unit's first and second floors above have offices and the top floor has an en suite and shower room.

The available space can be maintained as separate units or combined.

There is on-street disc parking outside the building.

"Unique properties such as this are hard to come by and are in strong demand," says agent Lisney, which will handle next month's auction.
