Craving country cuteness but still enjoying the city nightlife?

If you’re on the hunt for a place to buy that offers the best of both, there’s a house for sale on Cork’s Albert Road that might tick all your boxes.

Constructed in 1920, No 17 Hibernian Buildings is a beautifully renovated two-bed terraced home with heaps of charm and a private flower-festooned patio… all within a stone’s throw from the city’s best cocktail bars, gyms, shopping streets and colleges.

All 50 square metres of this home, from the sash windows at the front to the quiet outdoor space, have been lovingly decorated to create a restful and cosy retreat to kick back, guiding at €270,000.

An open-plan living area is finished with solid oak flooring and recessed lighting, a built-in brick fireplace and stove and a large window to the front of the property.

Double doors lead out to the rear patio area, offering that rare treat of natural light throughout the ground floor – hard to find in this price range in Cork City Centre.

“The kitchen has tile flooring and boasts a beautiful modern fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, recessed lighting and tile brick splashback.” says estate agent Glenn O’Connor of DNG Creedon Finn O’Connor Auctioneers.

“There is a window to the side of the property and a large Velux window overhead for added light.”

A utility room downstairs is ideal for stowing all the essentials and upstairs is a modern bathroom and two bright bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobes.

“It’s situated in one of Cork’s most accessible addresses,” adds O’Connor.

“The property is in an excellent location within minutes of Cork City, with ample bus routes and all amenities including schools, shops, bars and restaurants on its doorstep.”
