That's a ridiculous price and the kitchen is dark and poky.
There is an article about it in the Irish Examiner:

:D Doctors here are not particularly wealthy, but that house wouldn't be out of a married pair of consultant's price range. Or expats returning to Cork, after selling a home somewhere more expensive than Cork. They wouldn't see that as too pricey either. A bog standard semi-d in balham in London would be about that price these days.
People who live in expensive houses (which this is for Cork, but not for any major other city) often do it as wealth preservation. They could be people who inherited investments, or involved in family business management, rather than working in a PAYE job. Principal primary homes are exempt from a number of taxes, and you get to live comfortably. With shares and markets being volatile at the moment, wealth may gradually move towards art and higher end property. But who knows...
The grey walls, floors, furniture, everywhere. It's like the knotty pine of the 90's all over again, but this time in grey acrylic.
If you are Robert Heffernan maybe ...
Nice house alright though
The biggest issue would be that you’d have a wänky Dublin-sounding address that some morkeshing type thought would sound posh but actually sounds vacuous and shallow. I genuinely could not live in a development with a name like that.
Aylesbury is there since the 70s, at least, or am I thinking of Shrewsbury?
Both roads handy enough for parking the car, if you're going to a match in the Aviva!
Shrewsbury has definitely been around since the 70s or 80s anyway.
Aylesbury was built in the late 2010s. I live a few hundred metres away.
I quite like Sleepy Hollow on Barringtons Avenue but there’s no way we could afford the asking price of €925,000. What do you think would be a reasonable and fair price for it in the current market? Thanks
Impossible to say what would be a fair or reasonable price. The house itself has been on the market since June 17 so you could speak to the EA to try to get a sense of what might be acceptable.
yes they are very nice properties. Houses rarely come up for sale there so it’s hard to say. There isn’t a going rate. I think Ardeen sold for 1.4MM in 2020 , that was 4000 sqft, and the other big one was lisnalee, 2.5MM , but that was maybe ten years ago?
Those were bigger than Sleepy hollow. That’s around 2800 sqft. Still a big house though. 1000 sqft bigger than the Aylesbury one nearby, but similar price range.
I mean , you’re unlikely to get it for 300k , but if you were in the 800-900 range you might have a chance.
Why would a modern looking house like this be so cheap? Is it a rough area? Or could there be some serious problems with the house? There are absolute KIPS on daft that cost 30 or 40 grand more.

It’s very small, mid terraced, and gurranabraher would be considered quite a rough neighbourhood. There could be structural or planning issues that aren’t immediately visible. Then again, it could just be priced low to generate interest - Auctioneera’s public bidding model contributes to that approach. As with all of these houses that you ask about, all you can do is go view them and visit the area at different times of the day/week to get a sense of what the vibe is.
Maybe the vendor wants a quick sale. Both houses next door look well maintained too.
It's 350 to 400k depending on the house from what I've seen.
Its fairly small and not in a great area, seems about right to me. Might fetch 250
All you have to do is look at the ppr for the area. House is worth 150k max. Look at previous sales for the terrace- 2012-05-0419 Saint Endas Road, Gurranabraher, Co. Cork, Ireland0.033 km €43,550 Further Details2013-06-1321 Saint Enda's Road, Gurranabraher, Cork, Co. Cork, Ireland0.035 km€72,500
Many unsold properties are usually removed from the listings at this time of the year and reintroduced towards the end of Feb as new properties, to catch the Spring bounce!
Someone said a few pages back that this development had stalled. Doesnt look like it, launching in new year
https://www.daft.ie/new-home-for-sale/helms-point-helms-point-church-bay-road-crosshaven-co-cork/4548289
Had temporarily stalled AFAIK due to an archeological find on the site!
Ah ok thanks. I wonder how these will be priced. 4 bed detached look similar to the ones O'Flynn are building in Glanmire which are 550k.
Looking at the plans there appears to be just 1 4 bed detached to be built, and that is smaller than the ones they are building in Glanmire, or maybe I am looking at the wrong plans?
No you are correct. Looks like very few 4 beds. Going to be a busy spot with a lot of apartments, terrace and duplexes.
Does anyone know the price of the new releases in Harpers Creek Glounthaune? I contacted the estate agent but they haven't responded, I am looking at the 2 bed terrace which was €285k back in 2021 also are they behind on the releases?
I've been browsing online for a month or so now and I'm getting really bored of those extreme fish eye photos.
The houses look nice until you notice that a square table in one photo has now transformed into a 10 meter long rectangle table due to the angle of the shot.
I haven't done any viewings in person yet but I'm sure I'm in for some massive shocks at how tiny the places really are.
Anybody remember discussing this some time ago? Can't find the posts. Well its back up again!

The earlier ad: https://www.myhome.ie/residential/brochure/pemberly-alexandra-road-st-lukes-cork-city/4631806
Looks like it didn't sell, but it's back up at the exact same price so maybe they just needed to withdraw it from the market for a bit?
Or the sale fell through and now hoping to catch a Spring bounce?
It’s a fine property and to my mind offers far better value than others that I have seen!
