A gem on offer at St Clare’s Avenue, Cork City

Tommy Barker on a recently upgraded house of two styles close to all the facilities of Cork’s urban life.

THERE’S an exceptional level of attention to design, decor and detailing at the quality home, 7 St Clare’s Avenue, between Cork city’s College and Magazine Roads: it was an upgrade where the bobs weren’t spared when it was done, top-to-toe, in 2007.

An end-terraced upgrade, with rear/side two-story extension added to bring the floor area to over 2,100 sq ft, it was briefly on the market in 2011, guiding €785,000, but in that lull period, it didn’t find any takers. Instead, it was rented out, to appreciative and fortunate occupants.
