Lower price for high-spec house

BACK when it was built, in the mid-2000s, Ardfionn represented exactly what the market (if not the economy) thinking was – spend away, the only way is up.

Sadly, the country has followed the property market in its tailspin: values , in many regards, have gone out the window.

This exceptional Cork city home, on an elevated, difficult site to develop, cost more to build than its asking reflected back 15 months ago. Now, another slice has been taken off, to the vendor’s chagrin, but to buyer’s gain.
