Who'd live in a house like this? Part 2

I don't see a door in the corner of the kitchen? There's a white shelf unit in one corner and a wooden unit beside the fridge.

My bad. I thought it was architrave around a door. It is indeed a shelf. And I didn't realise the glass doors were on a wardrobe. :o:o

Somebody was really pennypinching when they were doing up that house.

It might not be to everyone's taste, but some people like a rustic look in a kitchen. The wardrobe doors are an eyesore but very easy to change.

Sure look at Dermot Bannon pushing plywood kitchens and cement floors!

Have to be honest, I also don't see anything wrong with that 135k house at all. Most people would rip out a kitchen and replace it anyway, so doesn't really matter what the kitchen is like. Same for the Wardrobe; you'd get proper doors (or sliding doors) for feck all. I'm surprise so many people are getting confused about those wardrobe doors.

It probably would have been worth the while to either leave doors off the wardrobe or get proper doors for the photos, considering many people think they're a problem with the house.

The wood pillar could be covered over to look more modern (looks like it's supporting, and it has the fusebox, so likely needs to be left there, though).

If the area is half decent, i'd say it'd be a great buy.

I've just read the description, the kitchen is made from cedar so not cheap, but the floor are red deal that's obviously been stained.

The owner could be a carpenter and did the work themselves, they definitely like the look of wood. You could probably hang doors on the kitchen and keep the cedar countertop.

I know that house and it will sell, no bother. Location is king.
The house needs a bit of work though but its still a cheap way in to that neighbourhood.

I hope you are right on that

What could you do with a site so small ?

Between the bus terminus, Gaffneys and the summit gawper traffic it aint ever going to be quiet

And thats before you get stuck into the real problem in the area - Mamils

Makes the site for sale near Sutton X with PP for 400M2 house asking 600k seem cheep

I know it's Howth, but it would be akin to living on a roundabout.

It could be lovely if you could afford the purchase price and renovation work, but it's very poorly situated.

Agreed !

Though, on the plus side it seems to have the 'new style' 13Amp sockets - which is more than can be said for my present abode

It looks like it's been empty since the wake of the last owner.

(The chairs in pic 8 look like they were arranged for a wake)

Indeed

I have recollections of seeing many house in this sort of order in the 50's and first half of the 60's.

Is there a table anywhere ? I would expect a rickety timber one with old newspapers as a table cloth

Look hard and you might find a roll of



under the floor or behind a press

All a bit sad


I'll have the one in Co. Kilkenny so

It is indeed, on that little island just opposite.
Great spot for a party after hours!

Yeah, its on the old tram line. If I had the cash I'd grab it right now. The potential there is amazing

Yeah you Coul bring your drinks across and sprawl out on the grass on a sunny day..... Though probably not "supposed" to.

Wouldn't be surprised if it goes over asking price, though I'm not sure I'd want to live so close to a nightclub.... Though not sure if the nightclub is still open tbh

I see "outhouse" on the map - does it actually have a sewer connection..?

flazio

It's a beautiful building and I hope the new owners try to retain the character of the property.

It's unique anyway! I couldn't live with it, especially the psychedelic black and white tiles, I'd get dizzy looking at them.

I wonder will the new owner renovate it or keep it as is?

Trigger Happy

I would renovate as is.
With a wrecking ball.

They didnt bother removing the anchor points on the feet of the bed

Deebles McBeebles

That's how I would have painted my house when I was 10.

To quote Homer (no, not that one) "Its gonna take a lot of fireworks to clean this mess up".

I kinda like it though... 20's me would have loved it.

NSAman

That is a serious amount of work and detail gone into that house.... Not my style but that work is amazing.

They are everywhere when you look closely, the ceiling, the chairs, the wall of the bathroom! :eek::eek: The CGI'd what it would look like if it was normal version in the last couple of photos are almost unrecognisable. It's a very small apartment to pack in so much hijinks.
