Georgian city property likely to appeal to investors
The four-storey residence at St Luke’s is on the market with a guide price of €350,000 and will be of interest to both investors and owner occupiers.
No 1 Harbour View is part of a small terrace of homes, and is being sold with car parking spaces for two cars, but there is more parking space available, according to selling agent Michael Woodward.
On the ground floor there is a living room, dining room, kitchenette and bathroom. From the dining room you can enjoy views stretching out over the city and towards the mouth of the harbour.
“This house is full of character but it will need modernisation. The other homes in this terrace are owner occupied but this property may be bought by an investor,” said Mr Woodward.
On the first floor there are two bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchenette, while the third and fourth bedrooms and a bathroom are on the second floor.
There are three rooms on the top floor, while the self-contained basement flat has one bedroom, a kitchen, a living room and a dining room.
“The person who buys this property may choose to let out the basement. The house is only ten minutes walk from the city centre,” said Mr Woodward.
This substantial period residence was the home of two elderly ladies for years and the next owner may choose to redecorate it in order to bring out the Georgian features.
There is a conservatory style hall at the rear of the property leading to a patio area with steps to the south facing garden. There is also a door from the living room of the basement flat to the patio.
St Luke’s is a much-sought-after area for property in Cork city as it has a feeling of established suburb while being very close to the city centre. There are some fine views from properties in the area.
