Smart design in a great location

THERE’S a lot of house on offer for €260,000, with a Blackrock Road Cork address, at 34 Dundanion Court.

Original in design when first built in the 1960s, the complex of 36 houses around a central courtyard was designed by Neil Hegarty (later to become Cork City Architect), who picked up an architectural award for this development.

These two-storey houses have four bedrooms, and lots of light flooding in thanks to the large glazed areas.

On the market with Dermot Lynch of Irish and European estate agents, it’s to the back of Dundanion Court, which means that views are south-facing into the rear garden/yard. The interior of this home is still quite original and has exposed brick walls, parana pine ceilings and open tread stairs.

Location is very close to Blackrock village, with services to hand and the Marina riverside amenity just around the corner.

Ground floor layout is quite open plan, and includes a living room linked to a dining room with a dividing open fireplace, there’s a kitchen/breakfast room and four bedrooms, one with en suite, plus a main bathroom.

There’s an enclosed rear yard, front communal courtyard and heating is by gas. The location is ace, and buyers will find little else in the area remotely near the €260,000 price guide.
