If you don’t want red carpet treatment this is perfect

THE owners of 4, Monswood in Cork rolled out the red carpet when they decided on the finishing specification on this large family home. In fact, they rolled the carpet idea right out the door, and finished the place instead upstairs and down with wood floors.

Monswood is one of the up-market residential schemes around the Mount Oval/Garryduff/Clarke’s Hill in Rochestown, already one of the posher parts of Cork in which to live. Or should that be ‘reside?’

Auctioneer Alan Browne of Cahalane Skuse - captain of Cork’s victorious Munster Final hurling team last weekend - hurls out the “one of Cork’s most sought-after locations” description for the location, and narrows the setting down further then to a corner site in this development of large 2,500 sq ft detached homes. Guide price is €570,000.
