The Irish times said it was owned by a retailer, family of six, who needed a home but also their own space.
The land that it was built on, was originally owned by the owner of Mondello.
A friend of ours was the I.T. editor.

This is hilarious! Brilliant find!

^^ Also, I just tilted my head and noticed the radiator behind the fridge. Optimal placement for both devices, that.

We make our toilet/tooth brushes from the bones and hair of men from villages.

I'm a Northsider, and I guarantee that our houses don't have two toothbrushes, let alone two toilet brushes. In fact, most bathrooms just have one brush for all brushing duties.

I know the estate agent, he's also a county councillor. I won't comment on him. Only thing about that house is that you could never complain about a smell in the jacks.

No idea why it isn't just advertised as a site with excellent potential to knock it and get planning for a larger house. You can get that site for €20,000 or possibly less FWIW.

I wouldn't be mad on that site. you are basically looking into a bog. The scenery isn't nice at all in my opinion. I would also avoid any estate agent who would write what they wrote about that kip.

It's also down only metres from the Camac river, and in an area that flooded horrendously not too many years ago

At the other end of the price spectrum is this. I love the area and the street looks fine to me. You'd want to be able to get on with the neighbours. Roof may need to be replaced and it looks like asbestos tiles. How much to make it liveable if you can do some of the work yourself? Another €100K?

What would put me off is the size of the site and the existing house - it's only 36 sqm. There's barely any room for expanding out the back so even if you did a full refurb you'd be looking at maybe 40-45 sqm, which realistically is only room for a small 1 bed.

Unless you are a builder €100k won't go very far. Go do any work on that house and you'd be lucky if your neighbour's house doesn't fall down too.

I wouldn't!

That looks like an American office block foyer with a (not very nice) kitchen fitted in a corner of it.

Plus - Porterstown vs Killiney - no contest!

I don't think you could make a "home" out of that personally

I’m sure any of us would be capable of making absolutely shíte of it in about 2 weeks, like we do with our own homes.

If Brosnan's accent in this film was a house it would be terrible enough to be in this thread.

At 929 square metres, the cleaner(s) will need to be live in.
I walked around that place back in January, it's got a massive footprint.
It's a very new build (2005) in the area and was the setting for the Pierce Brosnan flop, I.T.
