Trading up: Touch down where the eagles land

This reduced price family home is in super-smart order. Tommy Barker has the details.

A CHANGE of agent, and 50,000 lopped off the asking price should bring 11 Eagle Valley back on the radar offirst-time buyers, who can now afford a four-bed quality home for the sort of sum apartments were fetching five years ago.

Newly listed with Johnny O’Flynn of Sherry FitzGerald. this is a decent-sized family home, in a part of Cork — Wilton — where sales have always been strong. That’s down to proximity to the CUH, Wilton Shopping Centre and the ring road (with a new flyover set to ease commuting woes in a year’s time or thereabouts)

The owners of No 11 want to move across the city, back to family roots, and have done everything to make their home a walk-in job for new owners, with good quality Junkers floorings and an oak kitchen with adjoining dining room.

The main front reception is a good 18’ by 11’, with a fireplace plumbed for gas. The ground floor also includes a ground floor guest loo with shower.

No 11 is positioned in a cul de sac towards the front of Eagle Valley, and has off-street parking, front garden, and side access to the enclosed, west-facing back garden which is pretty low-maintenance, with gravel borders and lots of decking.

VERDICT: A lot of good house for the money.
