Summerhill North, Cork City, Cork, Ireland

Beautiful 4/5 bedroom detached period home in the heart of Cork City with amazing views

Savills proudly presents 19 Summer Hill North, an exceptional four/five-bedroom detached property perched beautifully on an elevated site overlooking Cork City in spectacular fashion.
Upon arrival you are greeted by a lovely private drive taking you to a large cobble lock parking area. Entering the property, the level of finish and quality bespoke design is immediately evident with beautiful timber panelled feature walls lining the entrance hall and mosaic solid timber flooring. From the very start, you will be struck by amazing light with a front to back aspect flooding the hall space as well as charming city views. The ground floor is well laid out with a drawing room, study, dining room and guest lavatory making up the remainder of this floor. The rear facing rooms take full advantage of their elevated position providing both light and views of the city and River Lee.
Making your way upstairs, you will come to a charming balcony on the half-landing. This is a well proportioned space suitable for both relaxation and dining and comes with a beautiful city backdrop and a southerly aspect. Going the full way up the stairs to the second floor you will find the sleeping accommodation. There are four double bedrooms with an en suite included in the master bedroom. The first of two kitchens can also be found on this floor although this kitchen is equally suitable to be converted back to a bedroom.
Returning to the first floor you will find the descending staircase to the ground floor. This floor presents as a unique opportunity for additional sleeping accommodation or living space. Subject to planning permission, it may also be suitable as an independent apartment as there is own door access with steps down from the driveway. As is, it is laid out as a large kitchen and dining room with a pantry, a utility room, laundry room and three storage rooms suitable for office space or additional bedrooms.
Externally, this property takes full advantage of its unique and elevated south facing site. The house is ideally positioned, enjoying uninterrupted views of Cork City and the newly and ever-growing Victorian Quarter. Beyond the city vistas you can cast an eye on the shimmering water of the River Lee and the soon to be overhauled dockland area. The rear garden itself has a level lawn bordered by planting beds with low maintenance shrubberies and hedging. the front garden and driveway is large and private with plenty of parking space, a lawn, rustic stone boundary walls and a selection of low maintenance shrubberies.
