Description

Savills is delighted to introduce No.4 Alexandra Terrace, a unique opportunity to acquire a luxury home in the heart of St. Luke's, one of Cork's most prestigious and sought-after neighbourhoods.

No.4 Alexandra Terrace is ideally situated just 200 meters from St. Luke's Cross, placing you within walking distance of local gems like the iconic Henchy's Pub and the renowned Live at St. Luke's venue. In addition, the property is only 1km from Cork's rejuvenated Victorian Quarter, offering an array of top-tier shops, pubs, theatres, and world-class dining experiences. This home perfectly balances the convenience of city living with the tranquillity of a residential setting.

No.4 itself is a four-bedroom, end-of-terrace, three-story luxury home that has been thoughtfully renovated to meet the highest modern standards, while preserving its historic charm. The property has undergone a complete transformation with new wiring, plumbing, and the installation of a brand new gas-fired central heating system, including underfloor heating on the ground floor for maximum comfort. Architect Niamh Marum oversaw the extension of the property, which has added valuable living space, as well as the installation of CAT 5 high-speed broadband—perfect for modern family life or a home office setup.

The ground floor welcomes you with an open-plan kitchen, dining, sittingroom area, with a fantastic contemporary fitted kitchen designed for both functionality and style, with a great selection of appliances. To the rear is a livingroom/home office and tastefully designed guest WC. On the first floor is the sittingroom with breathtaking views of the city and beyond.

Originally built around 1880, Alexandra Terrace is steeped in history reflects the restrained elegance of Victorian architecture. The moulded render details, canted bay windows, and intricate cast-iron gates are subtle yet sophisticated embellishments that speak to the quality of the original design.

This home boasts four spacious bedrooms (one en-suite) and a plushily decorated main bathroom, with ample storage and natural light. The bright and airy living areas are decorated with a beautiful palette of bright colours and rustic tones, blending the home's rich Victorian heritage with modern chic.

The elevated southern position of the house ensures that it is bright and warm throughout the day, with stunning panoramic views stretching from Passage West and Cobh to Cork City's bustling docks and the picturesque Blackrock area.

The garden is exceptionally private, featuring mature trees, hedging, and plants that create a serene, green oasis in the heart of the city. The patio to the front of the house offers a secluded spot for al fresco dining, while the detached garage at the rear, complete with an automated roller shutter door, provides discreet and convenient parking. The house benefits from pedestrian access at the front and side access to the rear garden, ensuring ease of movement and privacy.
