Boreenmanna Road, Cork €125,000

There’s a crisp, modern angular look to the apartments built at Elderwood, on Cork’s Boreenmanna Road, and now a one-bed here, No 18, with a very handy patio/balcony, has come to market.

Priced at €125,000 by John Barry of Frank V Murphy & Co, this is a 520 sq ft contemporary unit with a further 240 sq ft of outdoor, south-facing space on a raised patio.

It has been rented for a several years, capable of earning €700 a month if bought by an investor, adds Mr Barry, while it’s also close to southside suburbs such as Ballinlough, Mahon, Blackrock and the south link road is a mere mile or so along the way. No 18 Elderwood has a kitchen/living dining room, one bedroom and a bathroom, all with gas heating.
