Price reduction a Golden opportunity

It’s a house of two halves on Douglas Road, Cork, Tommy Barker reports

THERE’S a big — and sensible — price reduction now on 1, Golden Grove, a super-attractive Victorian home on Cork city’s main Douglas Road. It’s been taken down now to €550,00, from its June launch of €710,000 — and which even at the time seemed rich in the market-day realities.

It shows well, say selling agents Sherry FitzGerald, even in dreary December, and is in some ways a house of two halves — nicely traditional in front, with a deep drawing room perfect for Yuletide fires, while a more contemporary rear with a sun-room addition changes the house’s tone.
