Big early 1980s build on Rochestown Road 0.3 acre site for under €900k
Rear view of Trade Winds
Set on Cork's main Rochestown Road, it's one of c a dozen one-off, detached homes – none of them small - built in the early 1980s, in front of Lime Trees and just before the N28/ring road crossover and St Patrick's Church.
Trade up to Trade Winds?
It's been the private home from day one of a Cork business family, and selling now on their behalf is Patricia Stokes who guides the 2,750 sq ft five-bed home at €895,000.
She says it's already spacious, has a great mix of ground floor rooms (four reception rooms,) and has an attached double garage with conversion/integration scope as it's back-to-back with a lounge allowing for double aspect great rooms, and has a south-facing back garden.
Trade Winds is on c 0.3 of an acre, generous by today's standards and was built at a time when families were larger too, Ms Stokes notes, adding the Douglas/Rochestown location is 'superb.'
One of its five first floor bedrooms has an en suite and all are doubles, with built-ins, while quality materials were used internally, such as hardwood stairs, stained glass and a burgundy coloured main bathroom with bidet.
Dated internally and reflective of its '80s vintage, it's got a D1 BER and oil central heating.
VERDICT: New owner might want to breath a fresh blast of current fashion into Trade Winds and update the décor, or even do some internal reconfiguring, but they're unlikely to need to add on any more square footage?

Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips
US President Donald Trump has said he will impose a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely raising the cost of electronics, autos, household appliances and other goods deemed essential for the digital age. The Republican president said that companies who make computer chips in the US would be spared the import tax. During the Covid-19 pandemic, a shortage of computer chips increased the price of cars and contributed to an uptick in overall inflation. His announcement came as Apple chief executive Tim Cook joined Mr Trump at the White House on Wednesday to announce a commitment by the tech company to increase its investment in US manufacturing by an additional 100 billion dollars (£74.9 billion) over the next four years. Today's announcement is one of the largest commitments in what has become among the greatest investment booms in our nation's history 'This is a significant step toward the ultimate goal of ensuring that iPhones sold in the United States of America also are made in America,' Mr Trump said at the press conference. 'Today's announcement is one of the largest commitments in what has become among the greatest investment booms in our nation's history.' As part of the Apple announcement, the investments will be about bringing more of its supply chain and advanced manufacturing to the US as part of an initiative called the American Manufacturing Programme, but it is not a full commitment to build its popular iPhone device domestically. 'This includes new and expanded work with 10 companies across America. They produce components — semiconductor chips included — that are used in Apple products sold all over the world, and we're grateful to the president for his support,' Mr Cook said in a statement announcing the investment. The new manufacturing partners include Corning, Coherent, Applied Materials, Texas Instruments and Broadcom among others. Apple had previously said it intended to invest 500 billion dollars (£374 billion) domestically, a figure it will now increase to 600 billion dollars (£449 billion). Mr Trump in recent months has criticised the tech company and Mr Cook for efforts to shift iPhone production to India to avoid the tariffs his Republican administration had planned for China. While in Qatar earlier this year, Mr Trump said there was 'a little problem' with the Cupertino, California, company and recalled a conversation with Mr Cook in which he said he told the businessman 'I don't want you building in India'. India has incurred Mr Trump's wrath, as the president signed an order on Wednesday to put an additional 25% tariff on the world's most populous country for its use of Russian oil. The new import taxes to be imposed in 21 days could put the combined tariffs on Indian goods at 50%. Apple's new pledge comes just a few weeks after it forged a 500 million-dollar deal with MP Materials, which runs the only rare earths producer in the country. That agreement will enable MP Materials to expand a factory in Texas to use recycled materials to produce magnets that make iPhones vibrate. Speaking on a recent investors call, Mr Cook emphasised that 'there's a load of different things done in the United States'. As examples, he cited some of the iPhone components made in the US such as the device's glass display and module for identifying people's faces and then indicated the company was gearing to expand its productions of other components in its home country. 'We're doing more in this country, and that's on top of having roughly 19 billion chips coming out of the US now, and we will do more,' Mr Cook told analysts last week, without elaborating. News of Apple's latest investment in the US caused the company's stock price to surge by nearly 6% in Wednesday's midday trading. That gains reflect investors' relief that Mr Cook 'is extending an olive branch' to the Trump administration, said Nancy Tengler, chief executive of money manager Laffer Tengler Investments, which owns Apple stock. Despite Wednesday's upturn, Apple's shares are still down by 14% this year, a reversal of fortune that has also been driven by the company's botched start in the pivotal field of artificial intelligence.

Tearful tribute paid to young Irish fashion designer found dead on yacht in USA
The business partner of a young Irish fashion designer found dead on a yacht in the US has posted a heartwarming tribute to her on social media following her death. The founder of fashion label East x East, Martha Nolan-O'Slatarra, was discovered unconscious at midnight onboard a boat docked at the Montauk Yacht Club. People rushed out and made attempts to save her life, but East Hampton Town Police later pronounced her dead at the scene. The 33-year-old, who is originally from Co Carlow but was living in Manhattan, graduated from University College Dublin (UCD) and later completed a masters degree in digital marketing in Smurfit Business School. Dylan Grace, Martha's business partner at design company East x East, wrote a touching tribute to his dear friend on Instagram alongside a number of photos of them, sharing how he was 'truly blessed and grateful' to have had her in his life. He wrote: 'We dreamed big together, laughed harder than anyone else could understand, and built so much from nothing. I'm truly blessed and grateful to have had you in my life. Love you so much Mar. Fly high girl." Martha moved to New York at the age of 26, where she began working as a sales rep for a fintech start-up working with top-tier hedge funds before launching her East x East brand, a clothing and apparel line that specialises in eyewear, swimwear and resortwear. The details that led to her death remain unknown but are being investigated by the Suffolk County Medical Examiner's Office. While it's unclear exactly how the 33-year-old died, a boater at the scene described the ship in which she was found, named Ripple, as in fact a 'party boat'.
