You should never judge a book by its cover.

And the same can be said for front doors in Blackrock’s Convent Road. Buckle up, house hunters, for all is not what it seems.

Unassuming from the exterior, No. 10 Convent Road opens up into a light-filled, modern space where every effort has been made to bring the outside in.

Boasting marble tiled floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, sleek living areas, and stylish features such as the cantilever staircase, recessed lighting, sliding mirrored wardrobes, and exposed interior brick walls, it’s just hit the market at €395,000 with estate agents Barry Auctioneers.

“The property comprises of a lounge, an open plan dining room/kitchen, W.C. two double bedrooms, a main bathroom, a glass internal courtyard, and a rear garden with gravel patio area.” says auctioneer, Brian Wilson.

“Both outdoor spaces are low maintenance and there is a barna shed in the rear garden. There is gas fired central heating throughout.”

Not only is this surprising two-bedroom, two-bathroom home in top-notch turnkey condition, it’s also nestled in one of Cork’s most desirable neighbourhoods, a stone’s throw from some of the city’s most beautiful walks and newest playgrounds.

“The property benefits from being adjacent to a public park and green area, perfect for outdoor activities. All local amenities, including cafes, bakeries, pubs, and restaurants are just a short distance away. The close proximity of Blackrock Pier and Marina are ideal for leisurely walks.” adds Wilson.
