South-facing home in turnkey condition

IT started at €400,000 and now this smart three bedroom on St Christopher’s Drive in Montenotte is bid up to €435,000, proving there’s still life in the market.

This mid-level seems to be holding its own, according to Cork city auctioneer Jeremy Murphy, who adds that there has been fewer sales than last year but they have been constant.

Just two weeks in and 35 St Christopher’s Drive is seeing a lot of throughput — and that’s no surprise. Houses in this area are often a generational thing — you buy for life , and that’s always a good recommendation for a community.
