Listed with agent Don Brennan of Sherry FitzGerald Brennan Busteed is this four-bed detached house, on an elevated site within a short walk of the town.

Near Hamilton High secondary school, it has over 2,000 sq ft, one of its four double bedrooms is en suite, and it’s in walk-in, walk-up-to order.

It’s set just a bit along a private road off the Dunmanway Road, and has sloping grounds that include several patios, plus planted up and shrubbed seating sections to get sun at various times of the day.

There’s an attached garage/workshop, off to the right of the entrance drive, while on the left a short flight of steps leads up to a hardwood front door, and the site’s easily kept, with not much in the way of lawns.

Inside there’s a quality feel; the kitchen has been redone and is smart, bright and contemporary/country, with granite tops and island.

The main living room is a very decent 31’ long, and almost 18’ wide, with fireplaces, while the separate dining room has a wood-burning stove.

The four bedrooms are all doubles and the family bathroom has a Jacuzzi bath and separate shower.

VERDICT: Well presented
