Gallagher home sold for tune of €2.9m
Greenbanks, on the Well Road in Douglas, made just under €2.9 million, earning it the title of record sale of the year for a Cork city house. It was expected to sell for more than €1.5m, though an adjoining site on the Well Road, guided separately at €500,000, was included yesterday in the spectacular sale by estate agent Brian Olden of Cohalan Downing.
Such was the level of interest in what was one of the best-sited homes to go on sale this year in Rory Gallagher’s hometown that Mr Olden brought the sale to a head at private auction.
