American style with Irish views

A HANDFUL of modern houses have been built in the last four years to the back of the period house Maryland, out at Weaver’s Point beyond Crosshaven and the mouth of Cork harbour.

Newly up for re-sale is no 3 Maryland, a detached 2,600 sq ft home with a €750,000 price guide via Ann O’Mahony of Sherry FitzGerald in Cork city.

She says it is in ‘turn-key’ condition (once you get past the electric gates), with considerable investment in fixtures and fittings throughout, with lots of high ceiling space at the lower level and sloping ceilings upstairs, with a strong emphasis on pine sheeted ceilings.
