Smart Douglas duplex for €350,000

A QUITE unusual sale is how you’d describe this duplex apartment at Belair Close, off the Douglas and Ballinlough roads in Cork city.

Developed by the McCarthy family, (who built the original Belair estate), the in-fill scheme at the back of his family home never went on the open market, but sold privately..

A recent ground floor unit was sold in Belair Close in the recent past and now a duplex unit hits the market in the well placed southern city estate.

The units are superb in terms of location and design, according to Andy Moore of Andrew Moore and Co, who’s selling 17 Belair Close.

No 17 overlooks the large and leafy grounds of discrete Douglas Road properties on one side, and a school playground on the other. The location is a five-minute walk to town in a decidedly suburban location, and combines accessibility with a certain security. Throw in electronic gates and a buyer has the perfect package.

Which is why Mr Moore is looking for offers in excess of €350,000 for this three-bed duplex. The property offers space, needs very little maintenance and has ample parking in a private forecourt.

It comes with a railed balcony, a reception room by 15’ by 17’ a fitted kitchen and good storage off the main hallway. The master bedroom is en suite and the remaining bedrooms, a single and double, share a main bathroom.
