Something old and something new

THIS was a house built at the turn of the last century, 1911 to be exact, and it has changed relatively little since then.

But number 3, Rosenheim on Magazine Road, in Cork city doesn’t need lots of work either, says estate agent, Siobhan O’Reilly, who adds that while the house has good period features, is also has replacement windows and gas central heating.

With plenty of room for trader-uppers in the western suburbs, Dooley and Howard, are asking €395,000 for this terraced property.

And while it’s in the heart of the university letting area, this house has been a private residence for generations and could continue as such, says Ms O’Reilly, but it should also attract keen investor interest.

Antique fireplaces are fitted in the sitting and dining rooms and the kitchen has fitted units and its own fireplace. All four bedrooms are upstairs and three are doubles. The main bathroom comes with an electric shower.

Number 3 Rosenheim has gardens to the back and front.
