Description
Situated in a private terrace of just five homes off Summerhill North, this elegant late Georgian townhouse (c.1830) presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period property in the heart of St. Luke's—an already popular location that continues to rise in desirability. Spread over three stories above a basement, the home offers panoramic views of Cork City and its inner harbour, combining historical charm with exceptional potential. Upon entering the ground floor, you're greeted by a spacious open-plan dining and living area, distinguished by soaring ceilings and exquisite original features including detailed coving, sash windows, and timber flooring. The sense of grandeur is immediate, with period doors and high ceilings lending a graceful authenticity. The upper floors host four generously proportioned bedrooms, three of which are ensuite. The two front-facing bedrooms boast stunning south-facing views, filling the rooms with light and offering a picturesque outlook over the city. The top floor also includes an additional shower room, perfect for guests or family use. The lower ground floor level surprises with its brightness and practicality, housing an open-plan kitchen/dining area, a welcoming living room and an additional shower room. From here, access to the large south-facing terrace reveals itself through a secret tunnel—a perfect outdoor space for entertaining or quiet enjoyment. Beyond the terrace lies a beautifully mature garden, also south-facing, offering a private oasis in the city. Externally, the home is fronted by original cast-iron railings and benefits from parking for up to three cars. Period details such as ceiling roses, a feature archway in the hall, and an impressive 10ft ceiling height throughout enhance the property's historic charm. Though some refurbishment is needed, the home qualifies for valuable conservation grants including the Architectural Conservation Area Grant, Built Heritage Investment Scheme, and the Historic Structures Fund. This is a rare chance to own a character-filled city centre residence that combines history, privacy, and incredible potential—all in one of Cork's most architecturally rich and charming neighbourhoods. St. Luke's in Cork is a vibrant, historic neighbourhood known for its charming streets, period architecture, and strong sense of community. Just minutes from the city centre, it offers a mix of cafes, local shops, and green spaces, making it a highly sought-after residential area.
