Description

Introducing Hazelhurst, a wonderful four bedroomed semi-detached family home located on Sunday's Well Road, one of Cork's most mature and sought after residential locations offering spectacular views over FitzGerald Park and Cork city. Set behind unassuming gates, from street level one wouldn't think that such a substantial property lies behind, and once the gates close behind you, you could be anywhere in the world. With such an abundance of space, it is hard to believe just how centrally located in Cork City you are. However, the picturesque views across to FitzGerald's Park, UCC's Aula Maxima and other iconic Cork landmarks serve as a constant reminder that you are only ever minutes from all that the city has to offer. Having been meticulously renovated and restored by the current owners over the course of three years, this exquisite home seamlessly blends the charm and originality of the early 1800's with modern luxury and comfort. During this time it was re-imagined, making slight alterations to the floorplan to make it an exceptionally comfortable modern family home whilst taking great care to preserve the iconic period features such as the sash windows all with functioning shutters, original front door and intricate cornices to name a few. The entire project was completed to a flawless standard by Hanrahan builders and overseen by architect & conservationalist John Hegarty. Accommodation extends to approx. 229.3 sq.m (2,468 sq.ft.) spread over three floors and has been cleverly laid out with all reception rooms facing directly south to maximise both natural light and the stunning views over the rear gardens, FitzGerald's Park, Mardyke sports arena and the Cork city skyline. Every room enjoys generous proportions and three of the four bedrooms have an en-suite. During the restoration process, the current owners also renovated the outbuildings. What was previously the garage has been beautifully transformed into a multi-purpose studio of approx. 500 sq.ft. - ideal for a home gym, cinema or office which also has its own bathroom and kitchenette making it a perfect space for guests to stay enjoying complete privacy. There is also a WC and 3 storage areas accessed from the courtyard including a wine cellar. The remaining two outbuildings consist of an original greenhouse that was carefully restored to its original form and a garden room of approx. 236 sq.ft. that was added during the restoration. This gorgeous room is fully glazed to take in the natural light and views on offer. The sliding doors open out on to the patio / barbeque area. An equal level of care and attention has been shown to the garden, which is an oasis in itself. As you enter through the electronic gates, there is a large driveway leading to the front of the house that offers ample parking space for several cars - a rare commodity in the area. The gardens are tiered, getting lower as you make your way down the garden towards the river. The top tier has a patio, ideal for outdoor dining that can be directly accessed from the dining room creating a lovely connection between the indoor and outdoor accommodation. There is stepped access to the next level where you will find a second patio area and a stunning multi-purpose garden room. From here, a winding graveled path lined with beautiful stonework done by Barry Kidney who also carried out much of the landscaping of the gardens. The garden levels off at the end of the pathway where the long lawn begins, leading all the way down to the bank of the river with a wonderful selection of mature trees on the way and a magnificent Magnolia Stelatta at the end of the garden which can be seen from FitzGerald's Park. It is exceptionally rare that properties like this come to the market, even more so ones that have been so meticulously restored to such a high standard. Viewing is essential to fully appreciate all this exquisite home has to offer.
