Tirano a period original in the city at a tempting price

A MID-1800s house builder was so taken with his Italian honeymoon that he named the next half dozen or so houses that he went on to build after the lakes and villages that he had visited.

Glorious romantic days at Tirano are recalled in this Cork residence, a fine tall, well-kept, well-bred and well-extended family home that straddles city and suburban living.

Location is Victoria Road, opposite Kennedy Park, about 10 minutes on foot from City Hall, perhaps 15 minutes to Patrick’s Street. It is close enough to walk home to for a spot of light lunch.
