There’s plenty to put on your wish list

A HOUSE on the main Douglas Road in Cork for €220,000? Surely some mistake.

Coming hot on the heels of last week’s glorious big Edwardian semi Ivydene, which went blithely past its€1.6 million guide to sell for an unconfirmed €2.2 million, is 3 Whitethorn, another semi but with a difference: its guide price is a mere 10% of the value placed by keen buyers on its bigger but nearby Douglas Road neighbour.

The bite-size buy at 3 Whitethorn is listed in more ways than one: estate agent Joe Gavin of James G Coughlan has the formal sale listing, but the house itself is listing as well — towards Douglas.
