House of the week

The owner of No 70, Maryville may have a bit of a quandry: stay put in her all-done up Ballintemple home and listen — for free — to Bruce Springsteen’s summer 2013 Cork gig in Páirc Uí Chaoimh just 200 yards away, or sell up, and splash some of the sale proceeds on a couple of the Boss’s tickets?

Chances are, given her house’s quality and appeal, she’ll be buying tickets, and living elsewhere by July.

New to market in a chilly December is this warm three-bed, all-renovated home, with top-notch attic room as an overhead bonus.
