Description

ERA Downey McCarthy are delighted to launch to the market this most elegant 3 bedroom townhouse that retains many of its original features and combines character and comfort throughout. No. 5 is positioned on a superb site that offers a tremendous rear garden with river views This mature and highly sought after residential location is close to the Marina, Blackrock Castle and the recently upgraded Blackrock plaza where the hugely popular Farmers Market is held every Sunday. The property is also well served by shops and restaurants within walking distance. This beautiful home offers potential buyers a fantastic opportunity to purchase in one of Corks finest addresses with all amenities at their doorstep! The house type is late Georgian having been built in around 1826. It is one of 6 houses comprising Riverview Terrace and was built simultaneously with the 2 adjoining properties. It would have been built as a villa for wealthy Cork City inhabitants who went to the fishing village of Blackrock during the summer months to take a holiday. Prior to the construction of the Marina in the mid 1850's the rear boundary wall would have met the shore of the river Lee. The houses below were built on land reclaimed when the river was dredged. Various stages of renovation have been carefully undertaken on the house, most recently an energy upgrade was carried out with a new boiler fitted as well as attic and floor insulation. Recent landscaping work was completed to the front and rear, the old lead water pipes have been replaced and there is a new connection to the main sewer. Works carried out were just completed prior to the lockdown by Michael Doherty of Verdoc Construction who also worked on the very successful renovation of the neighbouring property 'Eglin'. Number 6 which adjoins the house is coming to the end of a full refurbishment. Planning Permission was granted for an extension to this and also No 2 Riverview in the past 12 months. The house was used as the Telephone Exchange for Blackrock for many years and interestingly is referred to as "the Telephone Office" in the title deeds Accommodation within the property consists of the reception hallway, lounge, dining room, kitchen and the main bathroom is on the ground floor. Upstairs the property boasts three spacious bedrooms and there is a separate shower room, the master bedroom comes with an en suite bathroom and a walk in wardrobe space. Viewings are highly recommended to appreciate!
