Classic architect-designed 1960s home

ATTENTION to the finer details distinguishes Calobra, clearly an architect-designed 1960s home in Cork's Blackrock village and a place which has consistently moved with the times.

The family home of Ian and Nuala White since it was built 40 years ago on part of the former grounds of Dundanion house, it is up for sale on a mature private roadside site: it has a €900,000-plus price guide indicated by Tim Sullivan, who has a strong selling presence in this well-off south side suburb.

Not only is the vendor Ian White an architect, he is also a pretty nifty carpenter, and the evidence of his handiwork - DIY is definitely too downmarket a term for his skill - is in this house in abundance, inside and out.
