Cork’s Docklands are in line for a €350m revamp.

And if you’re eyeing up opportunities to move into the area before the prices start to creep up, now could be the time to buy in one of Cork’s most promising neighbourhoods.

Hitting the market today at €295,000, No. 118, Lower Glanmire Road is a 155-year-old four-bedroom townhouse that has been expertly renovated… from the front door to the private back garden.

Inside, the living accommodation is set over three floors and the rooms boast high ceilings and plenty of natural light.

As well as stylish design, the owners have added many a mod-con too, including an air to water zoned heating system and a wired alarm system linked to a phone app. triple glazing throughout and in-ceiling speakers fitted to the sitting room, kitchen, living/dining, and master bedroom.

“Since the current owners took ownership of the property back in 2015, they have completed substantial works and upgrades to bring the BER Rating up to a very impressive B1,” said Darragh Taaffe of auctioneers Keane Mahony Smith.

“Such upgrades include high-efficiency aluminium radiators and windows replaced with energy-efficient triple glazing.

While the interior is a city slicker’s dream, the outdoor area is a huge draw too; the generous garden boasts bike and bin storage sheds, mature shrubbery and plants and external spotlights to light up the 200-year-old stone wall.

“One of the major features of this property is the sun-filled back garden which boasts the perfect orientation where one can enjoy a morning coffee or host an evening dinner party. A paved patio area leads the way to a beautiful, elevated nature-filled sanctuary that offers peace and tranquillity unique in the heart of the city.”

Situated in the heart of the up and coming North Docklands this property is a four-minute walk from the new Horgan’s Quay / Penrose Dock developments, a five-minute walk to the trendy St Lukes Cross area, and less than eight minutes from MacCurtain Street.
