THE family home of the late Gerald Goldberg and his wife Sheila, Ben Truda, is up for sale.

On Cork city's elite Rochestown Road, Ben Truda has 1.25 acres of lawns and almost woodland grounds, and is expected to make between €1.5 and €2 million in what will be viewed as a trophy purchase.

It has every property attribute a buyer at the upper end of the market might want but it also has something else a flawless local pedigree.
