The housing market is like the Hunger Games right now.

But with prices shooting ever higher, attentions have turned to getting more bang for your buck when it comes to finishes and extras… even if you’re working with a modest budget.

Up in Sunday’s Well, No. 2 City View Terrace on Winter’s Hill is a mid-terraced gem for a first-time buyer or downsizer.

Nestled on a sloping laneway connecting Sundays Well and Blarney Street, the property was fully renovated in 2018 to include two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Listed this week, it’s guiding at €210,000 – not bad for a city pad that’s in turnkey condition.

Among the notable design touches are clever windows that allow more light into the solid oak kitchen (which boasts a Belfast sink and copper tap) trendy sliding barn doors to a blue subway-tiled ensuite in the main bedroom and a stylish spiral staircase.

Nip out the bedroom door onto the roof for panoramic views from a private terrace that is just spacious enough for a couple of seats and a table to hold your sundowners in the evening and a coffee in the morning.

A short stroll downtown gets you right into the centre of the action, with no need to book a cab home.

Listed with Auctioneera, No. 2 City View Terrace, Winter’s Hill Sundays Well, Cork (T23 T04A) is guiding at €210,000. You can check out the listing and arrange a viewing here.
