Starter home: Riverstown, Cork €250,000
AS a spacious three-bed semi, no 16 Palmgrove, Riverstown, in Glanmire, is large enough to suit trade-up buyers, but its €250,000 price may suit first-time buyers.
Auctioneer, Michael Downey, of ERA Downey McCarthy, who started viewing of the 1,378 sq ft property this week, says: “This is a well-maintained, comfortable family home, which is part of a small development of just 18 houses built 20 years ago by O’Mahony Developments.”
It has extra space, because when it was being built, its original owners opted for an extension, instead of a garage.
This provided space for a room now used as a utility and storage area, but which Mr Downey says could be a fourth bedroom or a playroom.
Other accommodation includes a timber-floored front living room with a bay window and a fireplace, as well as a set of double doors leading through to a second sitting room at the rear.
There’s also a kitchen/dining room with timber-fitted units and a ground-floor bathroom.
Upstairs, there’s a bathroom, and three carpeted bedrooms (two doubles and a single).
The property has lawn and a driveway out-front and a split-level garden at the rear, with paving, a concrete area, and a shed.
Located a ten-minute walk from the local shopping centre and primary school, Palmgrove is seven kilometres from the city centre.
The Property Price Register records that this house previously sold for €235,000, in November, 2010.
