Save on commuting costs in this good location

EXCEPT for the new windows and door, there’s very little changed her at Emo, on the Boreenmanna Road.

One of the quieter enclaves of the Blackrock/Ballinlough axis, Carrigeen Park has a good location with direct access to the link road and Cork city’s a 20-minute walk away.

The three-bed semi is on the market with Ann O’Mahony and Joanne Blake of Sherry FitzGerald for offers in the region of €295,000.

In a quiet cul-de-sac, Emo has a lounge with bay window, a dining room behind and a small kitchen at the end of the entrance hallway. The usual three bedrooms and a bathroom are upstairs and the property has a good back garden.

A bit pricey as a starter home, it would, however, save money in commuting costs, but Emo is more likely to appeal to trader-inners with the wherewithal for an extension and a general upgrade.
