City home could provide southern comfort for Dubs

THERE’S a bit of a surge of relocation house hunters from Dublin on the prowl in Cork right now, and many in particular favour ease of access to the city centre, and a period home in the right setting.

So says estate agent Michael O’Donovan of Sherry FitzGerald in Cork, who is selling the brand new market arrival 9 Sunmount, a mid-19th century St Luke’s Cross offering which is approachable in more ways than one.

First up, its asking price of e695,000, for a big six-bed home won’t break the bank of anyone selling up in Dublin, or of those trading up in Cork who want to live within an easy walk of the city centre, and near to good schools to boot.
