An apartment to really appreciate

CAPITAL appreciation has been good at Harty’s Quay, and apartments which cost in the three hundreds two years ago, are now making half a million or more.

The gated development on the waterfront at Rochestown was one of the first ultra-modern developments in Cork city.

And the scheme was an instant success for McCarthy Developments who are in the process of completing the last phase of the courtyard scheme.

Meanwhile, a duplex apartment in the Mizen block is now on the market at €575,000 through Brian Olden of Cohalan Downing and Associates.

Brand new and with two-bedroomed living accommodation, the apartment has floor to ceiling windows and includes a balconied living area. The ground floor has an open plan kitchen/dining area with cherry wood floor and access to a private balcony which faces south. Then, there are two double bedrooms, one with ensuite, and a full bathroom.

The overhead living room is accessed via a spiral staircase and would also make an ideal home study or gym.

The sale includes a reserved parking space and the development has well kept grounds with lots of amenity areas, including a boardwalk.
