    It looks like downstairs may not have any windows? So probably needs the white!

    2 tiny ones on the front wall if you look at the virtual tour. The bedrooms are tiny too.

    Miriam's house is beautiful. I'd buy that in a heartbeat if I won the lotto.

    Can anyone identify that blue/grey paint shade ?

    I'm looking for a colour like that...

    is it just me or is there a distinct lack of bathrooms for a house of that size? a small shower room on the first floor and a bathroom in the attic are all I can see. nothing on the ground floor.

    what am I missing on streetview?

    That the closest the streetview could get to the property is via what the OP perceived as a dingey alleyway.

    Don't know why they didn't stick the bar in "Seomra" out the back!

    Also here's Miriam O'Callaghan's house. (I'd paint the front door) (Otherwise I like it)

    Lovely house with a serious lack of bathrooms, typical of these period houses.
    Would be war if a family lived in it with 1 toilet upstairs and then on 2nd level.

    I’m fairly sure Miriam had her Audi stolen a few years ago!

    It looks quite like Oval Room Blue from Farrow and Ball. My hall is done in that and when I saw Miriam's I kinda went "huh, that's the colour in my hall".

    Did they move the same one or two vases of tulips around into every room before they took a photo?

    Same white bedspread in every room too :)


    In fairness, I get more annoyed when no effort is put into dressing a house for sale so I don't mind them dickying it up for the photos.

    Nice house, wonder what you buy after owning that house?
    Maybe she is downsizing?

    Her pink and blue bedrooms are a bit grubby looking!
    And is that astroturf in her front garden?

    Yes, I hate the stuff in residential houses.
    Usually you only see it in rentals.
    In her case I suspect the super high hedges block a lot of the light and affects growth.

    Miriam's tip to the cleaner, cook and gardener:
    "Get a job in RTE, they pay insane wages."

    To be fair, it looks well, bathroom needs a bit of modernising and a few rooms need a bit of TLC but surely for that price you'd get off street parking and a better garden?

    Miriam's house is lovely but the decor is horrible, especially the pale blue and the leather sofas.

    The €1.6m price tag probably doesn't come with the decor, so grand like :)

    That occurred to me too. Tiny poky chairs you would be clung into it.

    If I had €1,600,000 to buy a house I'd buy this and then retire on the €1,030,000 left over. :)

    Ony 5km to two very nice beaches. Would that garden be big enough? :D
