Enjoy harbour views from the hot tub at this magnificent Cork pad - yours for €775k
2 Belgrave Place dates back to 1857.
A TRULY IMPRESSIVE property, 2 Belgrave Place comes to the market ready to be enjoyed by its new owners straight away.
The four-bed home – which is priced at €775,000 through Hegarty Properties – is located in the village of Glenbrook, Co Cork, between Passage West and Monkstown. It boasts an elevated site overlooking the River Lee as it feeds into Cork harbour.
The three-storey terraced house dates back to 1857 and was completely refurbished over a number of years from 2015 to include a rear garden room, kitchen and new window shutters. All chimneys throughout the property were also renovated and restored.
Despite the modern updates, No 2 retains many of its original architectural features including a cast iron balcony, ceiling roses and fireplaces.
The property benefits from being south-facing to the front, with the drawing room and front bedrooms enjoying an abundance of natural light.
The interior is airy and elegant throughout its 2,450 sq ft thanks to the high ceilings and picture windows, while neutral tones add a stylish feel. Those who like to host will appreciate how the dining room and drawing room are interconnected via sliding pocket doors, while French doors in the dining room open to the rear patio.
The kitchen and breakfast room is L-shaped and includes ample storage and preparation space, with features including skylights with electronic blinds, twin ovens and a granite island unit.
Moving to the first floor, there is one bedroom, a family room, a bathroom here and a laundry room here. This bedroom is highly impressive and runs the width of the house, and boasts access to a restored cast iron balcony.
The family room is spacious and bright, and benefits from access to the main patio in the rear garden. The garden is split level and features an inset hot tub with views over the river, making for the perfect way to unwind.
The master bedroom is located at first floor level, with two picture windows overlooking the river. There’s no shortage of space in here, with a dressing room and en suite bathroom extending the master suite. There are two further double bedrooms on this floor, with antique open fireplaces in both.
Completing the accommodation is the large converted attic, which could easily be used as a home office space, den, playroom or bedroom.
No 2 is set well back from the road, with a front patio that’s perfect for sitting back and watching the river flowing by on sunny summer evenings.
Conveniently, Monkstown village is a quick five-minute drive away, while Douglas and Cork city can be reached in 15 and 25 minutes respectively.
