Pleasant harbour bungalow can put a wind in your sails

THERE’S already a fair wind behind the sale of the cove-set, Baltimore harbour bungalow, one appropriately called Fairwind.

Advertised as an executor sale in these pages just two weeks ago, the phones started ringing straight away, from the Saturday morning, says Maeve McCarthy of Charles P McCarthy auctioneers (instructed by Kevin O’Flynn of Wolfe and Co solicitors.) Bids followed almost as swiftly afterwards.

The guide price for the older style, flat-roofed home is about €400,000 and it is already tipping away above that sum. The reason? The site and setting, of course.
