Typical 60s house definitely has the right address

THE MODEL Farm Road is one of the prime addresses in the western suburbs of Cork city. and

The closer to town the location, the greater the demand. Just such a house has been released this week through TJ Cronin of Irish and European, who is inviting offers of 500,000 for Roncalli, Laurelbank, off the Model Farm Road.

A typical 60s two-storey the house, the property is in good condition but will probably need some “freshening up”. However, on location alone there should be no shortage of buyers.

Close to CUH, UCC, the Bon Secour Hospital and CIT, this area is high demand. The type of buyer here usually has the clout to afford the asking price and a bit more again for the inevitable make-over, or, just as likely, the rebuild.

Roncalli is accurately described as a spacious, five-bedroomed house, but that count includes a two-bedroomed apartment. Buyers with a growing family are likely to discard this layout and forfeit the second kitchen for living room use, while absorbing the two bedrooms into the run of the house.
