Agent Turley Property Advisors has a guide price of €5 million for 75 Merrion Square.

Built in the early 19th century, the property represents a fine example of the period houses found on this and Dublin’s other Georgian squares. The four-storey over-basement mid-terrace building extends to a net internal area of 504.64sq m (5,432sq ft) and is laid out in a combination of various-sized offices, including two large offices on the ground floor and on the first and second floors that can be separated by their large double doors.

While the office space is contemporary in style, the building itself retains its period character thanks to the preservation of its cornicing, ceiling roses and marble fireplaces. At a practical level, it has a lift which services all floors, making the entire property wheelchair-accessible, as well as having shower facilities for staff. The sale of No 75 also includes 12 parking spaces accessible via the rear of the property on Fitzwilliam Lane.

The property occupies a prime location within Dublin’s political and business beltway and sits a short walk from the Merrion Street entrances of Leinster House, Government Buildings and the Department of Finance. The immediate area is populated by a wide range of bars, cafes, restaurants and hotels. Notable occupants include the five-star Merrion and Shelbourne hotels.

In terms of its accessibility, No 75 is situated in close proximity to the Dart and commuter rail line stop at Pearse Street station and the Luas green line stops at Dawson Street and St Stephen’s Green. Numerous Dublin Bus routes are available close by, while the Aircoach service to Dublin Airport stops on the north side of Merrion Square.

It is being offered for sale with the benefit of full vacant possession.
