Stylish period home near river offers chance to join village people

FANCY joining the village people, in a city suburb?

A fine period roadside home in the very heart of Blackrock village, with Cork’s waterways a few hundred yards away is on offer with estate agent Tim Sullivan. It promises location on the one side, and a fine private sun-trap back garden on the other.

Mr Sullivan guides Dundanion at €750,000, which reflects its Blackrock address and period stature. It’s a manageable home for a wide cross-section of buyers, both traders-up, older people trading down who want to be near all services, and couples looking for a place of distinction to dress up with appropriately fine furniture and bits of art.
