Terraced home transformed into sleek city pad in Cork
Transformed from a drab, rundown terraced property into a stylish city pad, No 2 City View Terrace on Winter’s Hill is new to the market with a guide of €190,000.
Situated in a hidden-away pedestrian laneway which runs between Sunday’s Well and Blarney St, the two-bed house had peeling paint and and a very low BER when its owners bought it in 2017.
To turn the early-1900s property into a modern home, the young couple re-wired, re-plumbed, and insulated and also put in a new boiler and sash windows.
They rearranged the layout to create space for a small utility room and a small upstairs bathroom and brightened the interior with white walls and a few roof lights.
“It’s now in superb condition and has the luxuries of a new-build,” says Terry Hayes of Barry Auctioneers.
Particular effort went in to the creation of a stylish kitchen — which is grey with a hardwood countertop , a Belfast sink, and attractive patterned splash-back tiles.
The sitting room has new timber flooring and a fireplace and the guest WC has been upgraded. A newly-fitted spiral staircase leads to the first floor which has a single and a double bedroom and a small shower room.
Situated within a 10-minute walk from the city centre, City View Terrace has gates at either end which are locked from 5pm to 7am, during which time only residents can enter.
Perfect city pad for single person or a couple.
