Fine duplex apartment

NOW Glenmont might have aner, barracky look at this angle, but these apartments are very much sought after, says Michael O’Donovan of Sherry FitzGerald.

‘Hugely popular’, is how he describes this mixed scheme of just 36 units behind the Silversprings Hotel in Cork city where he’s selling a two-bedroomed duplex.

On offer at €350,000, this 930 square foot unit is a duplex with a living room at the top level leading to a south-facing roof garden. South-facing and with floor to ceiling windows, this unit is modern, open-plan and very bright with sleek modern fittings.

Entrance is at the bedroom level where there’s one ensuite bedroom and a second bedroom with bathroom.

A stairs lead up to the huge living room of 27’ by 18’, which has a kitchen area in one corner and then double doors lead onto the roof terrace, which is practically the same size.

And, as Michael O’Donovan points out, this unit has a gable end position, which means it has more windows than mid-row units, especially handy in the bedroom.

Gas heating is installed and the leisure centre of the hotel is just down below.
