VIDEO: House of the week: Maryborough Hill, Cork, €525,000

A move on to bigger and better things, in an old Douglas suburban setting, by the woman owner of No 12 Tirol Avenue, brings this detached home to market: it’s listed at €525,000 with estate agent Michael McKenna.

At that price, Mr McKenna knows it will be a trading-up proposition, despite it now being just a three-bedroomed home, having been reduced in a previous ownership to three beds from an original tally of four.

No 12 Tirol Avenue is a high-quality pad in the Paddocks development at the foot of Maryborough Hill, with a spotless interior and high comfort factor, plus mature garden boundary that serves as a reminder of this development’s origins on a prime, wooded Douglas hillside setting.
