7th heaven in lovely Laburnum

WITH the last Laburnum house sale going €20,000 to €30,000 over the asking price, the omens may be good for the latest offering in the Cork suburb.

A summer ’09 offering is the three-bed semi-d – 7, Laburnum Lawn, a 1,160 sq ft, mid-1900s family home on a site with a large back garden and plenty of room for expansion.

Just off the Model Farm Road, it is on the market with Ann O’Mahony of Sherry FitzGerald who seeks offers around €390,000 for the solid home, needing some upgrading but with a big garden which she says gets sun from mid-morning through the rest of the day.
