A spacious family home

THE selling agent can’t help raving about 49 Limetrees Road East.... but he’ll still let you have it for around its asking price of €575,000.

Johnny O’Flynn of Sherry FitzGerald is selling the mature four-bed semi d, set off Maryborough Hill on the edge of Douglas in Cork, and despite its several decades of age it is a home that will go on accommodating families who need space, he says.

It fits in just about 1,300 sq ft of space, with interconnecting reception rooms with Junkers flooring, there’s rear garden access from the back room, and a spotless kitchen despite the age of the units. They appear to be blue Murray kitchen units from the 1970s, an early forerunner of the current appetite for high gloss colour units, and as another example of the 1960s revisiting current trends there’s also cedar cladding on a portion of the front facade by the door.
