Located in the most prestigious residential neighbourhood of Waterford city; there are a host of primary and secondary schools in the immediate vicinity, not to mention the city centre and Waterfords historic Viking Triangle. Built in c. 1846 by Samuel Strangman, scion of a notable wealthy merchant family, the red brick was specially imported from Holland. This beautiful three bay two storey period residence has classically symmetrical proportions and retains many of its original period features. This lovingly maintained family home has been in the care of the present owners since 1977 and is presented in absolute turnkey condition. Properties of this calibre rarely come onto the market, and this is a once in a generation opportunity to acquire one of the finest residences in Waterford.
