Cover story: A delight in Déise market’s upper end

There’s almost 3,000 sq ft of living space at this Waterford family home — and not a single square foot is shabby.

Extended, re-worked and all upgraded to a very high overall standard, No 47 Summerville Avenue is one of the most comfortable family homes to come to market in the city in years, say agents Purcell Properties — and that’s reflected in the €525,000 asking price.

Only a few weeks on the market, as the owners have bought another project, No 47 dates to the 1950s, it’s already had over a half-dozen viewings and is clearly impressing the early visitors, says Conor Purcell, who adds the gardens have been planted for year-round colour to match the house’s design ethos.
