Maryborough home a showhouse showpiece

A one-time showhouse for one section of the large O’Brien and O’Flynn Maryborough Ridge development is for sale now with agents Paul O’Shea and Ann O’Mahony of Sherry FitzGerald: they guide at €375,000 for the four-bed semi-d at No 11 Edgewood.

And, at that, you even get the furniture thrown in. Laid out day-one to impress, it has a good slot in the scheme, last house in on a corner site in a cul de sac facing the main Maryborough Hill above Douglas village. Its back garden faces south, very well planted up, with circular lawn and colourful shrubs dotted around its perimeter, and boundary walls now clothed in ivies. It’s got just over 1,350 sq ft within, over two levels, and even though it has been rented for a while, it’s coming for sale in walk-in order, say the agents.

Relatively recent Edgewood sales have been in the €320,000 price bracket, and No 11 comes with its attributes, to a market hungry for trading up homes. Open viewings were held yesterday and are on again today with Sherry Fitz until just after midday.
