Situated in the heart of Cork City this two-bedroom home could be an ideal opportunity for a first-time buyer looking to get onto the property ladder. While the house would benefit from some modernisation and a little TLC, its central location, manageable size and €190,000 asking price make it an interesting challenge for anyone willing to take on a project.
70 Evergreen Street offers approximately 54 sq. metres of accommodation, with two bedrooms, a separate living room and a spacious kitchen. One of the bedrooms could also lend itself to use as a home office, guest room or additional living space, depending on the needs of the new owner.
The location is arguably one of the property’s biggest selling points. The city centre is just a short walk away. For those who need to commute, there is a bus stop nearby, while permit parking is available in the area.
“Properties coming to market below €200,000 in Cork city are increasingly difficult to find, particularly within walking distance of both UCC and the city centre. At a guide price of €190,000, we expect 70 Evergreen Street to attract strong interest,” says Helen O’Keeffe frpm Auctioneera.
Inside, the property provides a surprisingly practical amount of storage for its size. Both bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes, while there is additional storage space at the rear of the house. The layout also gives the new owner plenty of scope to make improvements and put their own stamp on the property.
Naturally, this isn’t a turn-key home. The property is in need of updating, but for buyers prepared to put in the work, that could be part of its appeal. Rather than paying a premium for a fully renovated property, a new owner would have the opportunity to gradually modernise the house and create a home that suits their own style and budget.
“It is definitely a project, but it offers first-time buyers an opportunity to purchase at an accessible price point and create a home to their own taste over time.”
Built in 1841, the property also has plenty of character and history. While it may require some fresh paint and updating, the bones of the home offer plenty of potential. With the right improvements, it could be transformed into a warm and inviting city home.
“It is definitely a project, but it offers first-time buyers an opportunity to purchase at an accessible price point and create a home to their own taste over time.”
For someone looking for a Cork City property with potential rather than a finished product, 70 Evergreen Street is certainly one to keep an eye on.
“The combination of the location, two-bedroom accommodation and guide price should make this a very popular property.”
For buyers prepared to roll up their sleeves, 70 Evergreen Street offers a rare opportunity to secure a Cork City home at a price point that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
