70 The Sonata, Harty's Quay, Rochestown, Co. Cork
Patricia Stokes Auctioneers & Valuers are delighted to present No. 70 The Sonata to the market. Constructed in 2004 and extending to an impressive approx. 80 sq. mt (861sq. ft), this home has been owner occupied from the beginning. The care and attention to detail is in evidence throughout. The property occupies one of the very few enviable ground-floor positions within the complex giving uninterrupted water views. This beautifully proportioned two-bedroom apartment seamlessly combines generous internal proportions with an exceptional waterside aesthetic. The standout feature of this superb residence remains its extensive, private outdoor space. Positioned directly along the water's edge, it offers uninterrupted, panoramic views over the Douglas Estuary and the surrounding countryside-an absolute rarity for apartment living in Cork.
The accommodation within offers welcoming entrance hall, open plan living space with defined kitchen cleverly tucked away, dining area set off separately leaving the open plan living space to be enjoyed for relaxation purposes only. The main bedroom is a fine double with floor to ceiling window and door leading to the outside and giving lovely views of the water. This room has the benefit of its own en-suite. The second bedroom is a double room and again looks out over the water. A family bathroom completes the accommodation of this home. The current owners have created plenty of storage within.
Heated by means of gas this home boasts a B energy rating helped by the recent installation of a new combi boiler giving hot water on demand.
The defined outside space that No 70 enjoys is where the owners true labour of love comes into play. Having over 20 years to mature under the careful watch of the owner it is pristine. A composite deck is laid directly outside the double doors from the main living space. This is surrounded by hand picked shrubs to take account of the natural aspect as well as ensuring there is colour here throughout the year. This private space extends across the entire front of this home taking in the deck located directly adjacent to the main bedroom. This too has been treated in the same careful way with mature planting to ensure maximum privacy within.
The residential oasis that is Harty' Quay is set almost at the midway point of the Cork Harbour Greenway walkway/cycle path. It is a private gated enclave and home to a selection of one, two and three bedroomed homes. Surrounded by water on three sides the homes here are treated to a mature woodland and bird sanctuary on the last remaining side. No 70 captures the best of what Harty's Quay has to offer.
Spread over an area of almost four acres the homes located at Harty's Quay have the benefit of beautiful courtyard landscaped gardens laid in the main to grass with mature planted beds and meandering paths. Seating is provided in strategic areas to take full effect of the peep through views between the buildings to the Douglas Estuary and quayside walkway adjoining it.
Living at Harty's Quay presents a lifestyle choice of peaceful relaxation. The 3km greenway adjacent is built on the track bed of the Cork, Blackrock, Passage west railway. This home is ideally suited to someone trading down without compromising on a sense of space while at the same time is equally suited to someone beginning their home ownership journey.
