Lorong Ikan 3 Adjoining Heritage Shophouses In George Town Penang For Sale

Located on Lorong Ikan within the George Town UNESCO World Heritage site Core Zone, these three adjoining double-storey shophouses offer a combined land area of 3,345 square feet. The property is characterized by its traditional deep-set layout, featuring internal airwells that provide natural light and ventilation. A practical advantage of this specific lot is the side lane access, which allows for direct entry to the rear of the buildings.

The interior retains several original architectural features, including geometric encaustic floor tiles, carved wooden partitions, and timber-beamed ceilings. The current configuration includes five toilets and two bathrooms. While the property underwent restoration in the past, it now requires significant maintenance and repair. There are visible signs of water ingress, including leakage and fungus growth on the walls and ceilings, indicating that the building envelope and roof need immediate attention.

Despite the current condition, the scale of three combined units in this location is uncommon. The property serves as a functional shell for a comprehensive refurbishment project. Its size and dual-access points make it a viable candidate for various uses, such as a boutique hotel, a commercial gallery, or a large-scale private residence. This listing represents an opportunity for an investor to acquire a substantial footprint in a prime heritage zone and restore it to professional standards.

这三座相连的双层店屋位于乔治市联合国教科文组织（UNESCO）世界遗产区内（Lorong Ikan），总占地面积为 3,345 平方英尺。该物业具有传统的深长式建筑格局，并设有内部天井以确保自然采光与通风。此地段的一个显著优势是拥有侧巷通道，可直通建筑后方，为物流或日常出入提供了便利。

室内保留了多项珍贵的原始建筑特色，包括花式彩色地砖、精美的木雕隔断以及传统的木梁天花板。目前空间配置包含五个厕所和两个浴室。虽然该物业过去曾进行过修复，但目前整体状况欠佳，急需维护。由于缺乏长期打理，墙壁和天花板可见明显的漏水痕迹和霉菌生长，显示出屋顶及建筑外壳需要进行全面的修缮。

尽管现状需要整修，但在乔治市核心地段能够同时拥有三座相连的店屋实属罕见。该物业提供了巨大的空间潜力，非常适合精品酒店、艺术画廊、主题餐饮或大型私人住宅等开发项目。对于寻求在核心遗产区获取大面积地块、并希望按照自身标准进行重新规划的投资者而言，这是一个极具吸引力的机会。
