Starter home: Douglas Road, Cork €250,000
As a modern three-bed semi with a guide of €250,000, and a location on the city end of the Douglas Road in Cork, No 4 the Laurels is attracting attention.
Within four hours of appearing on the internet, the property’s brochure had almost 400 online hits and four eager beavers had already booked viewings.
“The location is fantastic — it’s within walking distance from the city centre,” says Kevin Barry of Barry auctioneers.
He says it’s one of two sets of semi-detached properties built a decade ago on the grounds of Lauriston House.
This tiny development is located behind a high wall and mature trees and you probably wouldn’t notice it from the Douglas Road unless you were looking for it.
The property offers 1,141 sq ft of living space and includes a living room with tiled flooring and a marble fireplace as well as a kitchen with modern shaker style units.
On the first floor there is a bathroom and two carpeted bedrooms including an en suite.
The third bedroom is on the top floor and this also has an en suite and built-in wardrobes.
In front of the house there’s an off-street parking area shared by this house and its next door neighbour.
Patio doors from the living room lead out to a private enclosed patio at the rear.
Mr Barry says it’s a modern, well maintained property which will appeal to first-time buyers and investors, and possibly to someone downsizing from something larger in Douglas.
The house is 1.2km from Cork City Hall, a 15-minute walk, four-minutes cycle, or three-minute drive (without traffic).
It’s hard to find a property on the Douglas Road for €250,000, so this could be a find.
