Cul Ard, 2 Ard Foyle Crescent , Ballintemple, Cork

Description

Rare opportunity to purchase Edwardian elegance at Ardfoyle Cresent, this home has been sympathetically remodeled over the years to accommodate modern living while showcasing it's original archtectural features.

Originally a 7 bed with 1 bathroom, the remodeling process brought it to a substantial 5 bed with 4 bathrooms and 1 downstairs WC. The main bathroom features an original 1901 claw bath while all bathrooms feature Grohe showers ( all 4 showers newly fitted in 2021).

Ardfoyles “Cul Ard” is one of only 2, 3 storey, Edwardian homes of their unique architectural design. This beautiful home is nestled in a country setting while within walking distance of all amenities such as the newly refurbished Marina walkways and parks, a plethora of delis and shops and Cork City Centre. This leafy suburb is 15 mins from Cork Airport.

“Cul Ard” is set behind a sweeping driveway and framed by mature hedging, this attractive period home spanning approx. 2,670 sq.ft. offers a wonderful blend of character and kerb appeal.

The striking façade features classic detailing, including decorative timberwork to the gable and a charming bay window that floods the interior with natural light. Approached via a generous driveway providing ample off-street parking, the property is bordered by well-maintained greenery and established planting. To the front, a beautifully kept garden with flowering shrubs creates a welcoming first impression while adding privacy and colour throughout the seasons.

The setting is peaceful and leafy, making it ideal for those seeking a home with personality, outdoor space, and strong visual appeal.
