Join the penthouse people

THE chateau-style Watergold development opposite the Court Shopping Centre in Douglas, Cork, evokes a mixed public reaction.

One thing is certain, however: it has an extremely convenient address in one of the most popular residential area in the city.

Suburb is too settled a word for Douglas, which has enough amenities to rival the city centre, with chic shops and a full menu of restaurants to choose from.

Which is why houses and apartments here fetch high prices.

For sale this week with Denis Guerin is a three-bedroomed penthouse unit at Watergold where the styling is sleek and modern.

The apartment has rosewood floors in the living area and oak flooring in the bedrooms.

It also has a spacious entrance hallway that includes a roomy cloakroom.

The living/dining/kitchen area is open plan and includes top-of-the- range, built-in appliances.

All three bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and, according to Mr Guerin, the ensuite fittings and the main bathroom are done to an extremely high standard.

He recommends the property highly for those looking for a convenient and roomy pied a terre that’s close to the city and the Link Road, as well as the airport.

Apartment 9 covers almost 1,000 sq ft and comes with a security intercom and parking.

The target price is 290,000 euro with Frank V Murphy and Associates.
