A slice of St Luke’s for €425,000

HAVING gone sale agreed on two big St Luke’s Cross area terraced homes in Cork at prices from €820,000 to closer to €890,000, estate agent Andrew Moore has a more manageable offering for around half at €425,000 for a three-bed.

The area, a short uphill strike from the city centre, is rocking as buyers flock back to period homes near urban attractions — even if they need further spending. Sherry FitzGerald recently breached €1 million in offers for a fully-renovated large, end-of-terrace home in old St Luke’s, while nearby another similar end of terrace house with basement apartment has gone sale agreed with HOK for over €910,000.

So, the area is back in grace, and in favour, and a likely beneficiary will be 3 The Crescent on Gardiner’s Hill, in an elevated cul de sac park.
