Affordable by two: old, new

TWO varied, but equally attention-grabbing home options, have come up at sub-€200,000 prices with Darragh Taaffe of Keane Mahony Smith in Cork city.

For an easy life for a single person or a couple, a penthouse apartment at the appropriately-titled Lee Vista block will fit a first-time buyer’s bill, guiding €170,000.

Or, for those who want to be in the thick of it, a delightfully old-fashioned home ticking lots of buyers’ boxes is also new to market, at 1 Sunview Terrace, off College Road.
