A lot of money put into it over the years. Nothing cheap there. Wouldn't think the original investment has doubled.

Yeah, it is a really nice job.

Saw that today too, when I googled the address it got interesting. As well as showing the last sale as 145, there's an article about the owners getting a windfall tax refund that they had not expected of 32 grand due to the living cities initiative. Now on sale for 295, and will go for more.

The owners have done a lovely job on the house, and the living cities initiative is really one of the better ones that should be pushed a lot more, but............

Double your money in five years. What bubble?

Bought for €145k in 2015. Wouldn't be a big fan of the Lr Rd. myself, but not much of a return at €295k, given what must have been put into it over the years.

Not quite the city but an absolute steal.

I would get it myself but I'm not in a position to move to Glanmire.

Needs minimum €150k to make it habitable. You'd think they would tidy up the leaves in the back garden :rolleyes:

Steal? That should be 150k tops, price is ridiculous and will probably go closer to 300k

A 70sq m 2 bed in some random estate in the middle of nowhere for well above a quarter of a million being called a "steal" just shows how broken our housing system is right now......

That's out in the middle of nowhere, no bus route. Not the Glanmire we think of when someone mentions it.

Very nice indeed but surely a quick power wash on the bricks and driveway in the front and paths at the back could have been done. Small job but would clean it up nicely.

Thought the exact same when I saw it
Plus have no idea why they went for a blue front and garage door when the windows are brown framed? It looks very mismatched

Yeah it’s a lovely job in fairness when you compare it to other houses in that estate that have gone for sale in the last few years. No doubt will go for a good bit over asking.

Seems fairly amazing to me tbh. Each to their own.

Yeah. Pretty savage.
It seems to me like the difference between 450k and 650k isn't all that, in terms of what you get for your money.
But then go another 200k and the difference is huge. 400 sq m and an indoor pool. And the place is immaculate.

At first glance I thought there was a bar in the shower!!

Its not a bad spot at all, layout seems ok if you look at the map on the last pic.

Nice house and location. Garden north facing. Im always unsure how big a deal to make of aspect. Like the idea of west facing garden sounds great for sitting out on nice evening but then how many of those do we get.

It's very important. You'll get so much more use out of a south facing back garden.

The house I grew up in has a North facing back garden and my Mother spent so much time sitting out in the front garden when we were your younger. I think a North or East facing garden would be a deal breaker for us. Unless it was very large. I just think that seems like a crazy price for that house, maybe I'm wrong.

That estate has a mad busy road running right thru the middle of it too, which that house appears to be directly facing.

Over half a million for a house in a large housing estate in Ballincollig I mean it's a lovely house but seems like a bit much? https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/detached-house-11-the-close-coolroe-meadows-ballincollig-co-cork/3170096

It's nice but doesn't look spacious at all and they make all these pictures look bigger than they are.
