Trasna could be the ‘must buy’ of the coming year, €695,000

YOU know of the fairly hackeneyed property expression ‘no expense spared?’ Well, here’s the house that gives fresh currency to the phrase.

It’s hard not to tumble into peons of praise, admiration and, oh, heck envy too, over the job done at Trasna, a Victorian semi-detached home on Cork city’s Cross Douglas Road. For thems with the money, it could be the ‘must-buy’ of the coming year, or two, or three.

Why so? Well, sheer, unadulterated quality from the ground up, and the front gate to the far-distant garden summerhouse; every square foot in between has been overhauled, seemingly with nary a thought to cost: if it was right, it was done that way, no compromise.
