Trading up: Farranlea Park, Cork, €280,000

That estate agency buzzword ‘potential’ will be on the lips of those coming to view Genesta. ‘Potential,’ definitely, and sure you might as well throw in that other professional favourite, ‘location,’ because that’s just as valid. 

More valid, in fact, as the location off the Model Farm Road drives the potential, and this house’s future value.

Right now, this mid 1900s three-bed semi-d in a quiet part of Farranlea Park has dated charms and a sort of honest presentation: what you see is what it has been, a well-lived in home, what it next becomes is down to its news owners, and their extra budget.
