Starter home: Southside property ticks quite a few boxes for potential buyers

No 13 North Avenue is easily accessed and well maintained, reports Tommy Barker.

WITH one similar home just sold in the same development, auctioneer Jeremy Murphy knows there’s good demand for houses in Cork’s Mathew Hill scheme, up above Wilton and Togher at Lehenaghmore.

“There’s been so few houses built in the last few years on the city’s southside, there’s always interest in this development,” he notes, as he brings No 13 North Avenue at Ruden Homes’ Mathew Hill to market. He guides the three-bed semi-d at €239,000, and says it ticks quite a few boxes for buyers: first up, the back garden has a good, south-west aspect, so will get sun pretty much all day long, he points out, while there’s also side access by the small front garden with off-street parking.

Internally, No 13 is in very good order, with a decent sized (15’ by 11’0) front reception room with fireplace, while the rear of the house is given over to a marble floored 18’ by 12’ living/dining space, with a kitchen tee-d off it, with maple units. Both the kitchen and dining space have access to the back garden and sunny patio space.

Overhead, the master bed is en suite, giving three bathrooms in all, and all three have built-ins.

VERDICT: the easily accessed house has been well-maintained.
