31 Prosperity Square, Barrack Street, Cork City Centre, T12DE4H

Áine McLoughlin of AML Property is delighted to bring to the market this exceptional two bedroom home in the heart of Cork City. Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac just off the vibrant Barrack Street, 31 Prosperity Square perfectly combines historic charm with modern design. Originally part of a 19th-century terrace built to serve the workers and tradespeople of Cork’s south inner city, Prosperity Square has always been a place full of community and character. Its name reflects the optimism of the period a time when Cork was thriving as a busy port city. Today, this charming corner of old Cork retains its warmth and friendliness, with narrow streets, colourful doors, and a strong sense of local identity, while being just minutes’ walk from the city centre. Number 31 has been lovingly transformed by its current owner, who undertook a full refurbishment and architectural redesign in 2018. Every element of this home has been carefully considered. The property was completely rewired and replumbed, with new double-glazed windows and engineered oak floors fitted throughout. The chimney was fully lined to accommodate an open fire in the sitting room. Stepping inside, you are greeted by a pretty pink front door that opens into a bright and welcoming hallway with patterned tiled flooring. The living room to the front is both cosy and contemporary, featuring an open fire, soft neutral walls, and engineered oak flooring that runs through the main spaces. A large window looks out toward the historic stone wall beyond, blending the home’s modern aesthetic with hints of the past. *Disclaimer The above details are for guidance only and do not form part of any contract.

To the rear, the house opens dramatically into a beautifully designed kitchen and dining area that immediately catches the eye.

It’s a space designed for cooking, entertaining, and relaxing, with a comfortable seating area that brings the garden right into the heart of the home.

The bathroom has been completely modernised with high-quality fittings and a walk-in shower, providing a calm, contemporary feel. Outside, the private south-facing garden is a rare find in such a central location. Enclosed by a beautiful old stone wall, it offers a tranquil and sunny retreat perfect for morning coffee, weekend barbecues, or quiet moments in the open air. A garden shed provides useful storage, and there is ample on-street parking in this peaceful cul-de-sac. Barrack Street and the surrounding area are among Cork’s most historic neighbourhoods.

Today, the area has evolved into one of the city’s most vibrant quarters, home to independent cafés, and a lively community atmosphere. Within a short walk, you’ll find UCC, Elizabeth Fort, Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral, and the bustling city centre making this one of the most convenient and character-filled locations in Cork. 31 Prosperity Square is Stylish, warm, and full of personality, this home offers contemporary comfort and is literally 'a hop skip and jump' into Patrick St. Viewing is highly recommended through Áine McLoughlin at AML Property Services.
