Frankfort House is a large two-storey over garden level semi-detached house in need of modernisation at 79 Mount Merrion Avenue, Blackrock, Co Dublin. It is due to be auctioned on March 25th through Lisney and is expected to make a price in excess of £550,000.

Located on the corner of South Wood Park and with side access to two garages, the 4,000 sq ft property is currently arranged in five self-contained units. However, the likelihood is that it will revert to a family home under new ownership. Built in the 1850s, the house has bright, well-proportioned rooms and many period features, including ornate plaster cornicing and original fireplaces.

There is off-street parking to the front. The 80-ft-long walled rear garden with its garages offers obvious development potential.
