Evidently, Eviston, Palm Springs is the place to be — so check out No 3

THERE’S a whole lot of house for a lot less money at Windsor Hill, Glounthaune.

Eviston, which floated a year or so ago at around the €900,000 mark is now down to €695,000 — all 3,500 square feet of it.

The 13-year old property is on the books of Michael Piggott of Sherry FitzGerald O’Donovan and he says it offers the full package, proximity to Cork city, an acre site, views to die for and a room for every occasion.

In fact, there are up to seven bedrooms here at No 3 Palm Springs, a discreet estate of one-offs on Windsor Hill, Glounthaune, one of the most desirable of greater Cork addresses. The site includes a detached garage, long driveway and landscaped lawns, with enough left over for a new owner to design.

The house is in very good condition and has some lovely touches, including an impressive, chequered-tile hallway and a hand-painted kitchen. The kitchen/dining room alone is 34’ by 15, and the living room weighs in at 22’ by 21’ with a large bay window and cast iron fireplace.

Then there’s a formal dining room, a family room and guest bathroom with three bedrooms at ground floor level, one of which is en suite.

Overhead, there are four more bedrooms, with a main bathroom, a master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom.

Eviston is a fine, family home, which, based on size, is the ultimate buy for a growing family. And it’s a move-in proposition.
