Apologies, if this has already been posted.

But I'm trying to figure out, how they get 'in' to cook. Do they hop over the counter or come through the front window??

We fitted a kitchen with a hatch like that before. It was to keep the dogs out of the kitchen. A huge lummox of a Labrador and a Jack Russell. The Labrador stole the pizza that we ordered one evening when working late trying to get the job done, so I got what they were doing.

Likewise, we resisted all suggestions that we should open up the kitchen into the adjacent living/dining room, and we have a kitchen with a door. We also have cats.

Yeah, random number. Judging by pic 16, there should be 6x CL trophies. :pac:

Even given that it's a nice enough area "sought after" in Limerick. The description mentions possible planning permission, as in knocking and restarting? That's an expensive site.

You can buy the building (4 apartments) for €2.95 million. The hockey pitch in the background may be built on fairly soon though.

The penthouse is for sale for €1.35m, the views from the roof are stunning, but I'd want one-way glass in the jacuzzi room windows for privacy.

The rest of the apartment is for the most part tasteless 1970's French brothel chic. The crushed velvet curtains around the kitchen are just one feature. I'd get agoraphobia having a poo in the en-suite (the one with the sauna).

If I won the Lotto I'd buy it and hire a fair few skips.

I pretty much love all that house - the nude casts of their victims would have to go though. Other than that, tres magnifique!

Going further back, during a Dublin smallpox outbreak in the 1870s, the Corporation attempted to acquire the ornate tower for use as a smallpox hospital, but the good burghers of D4 objected and instead a floating hospital was put out to the sea off Pigeon House instead.

Looks like they weren't 'All in this together' during the 1870 smallpox pandemic. Out to sea you sickos!

I think I had similar ones for my patio a few years ago.

They're very like plastic patio furniture, I'd hate to hear what they cost!

TBH, it was more the dining room I was posting about. Who lives in a house like this in Dublin? One that can not only accommodate an 18 seat table in their dining room, but could probably comfortably fit another. What must the rest of the house be like, and how big is it?

ohnonotgmail

I must be the only one who likes that dining table and chairs and thinks it is a fantastic piece of carpentry. I'm still trying to figure out how they managed to make it stiff enough to not require supports half way down.

Pics 20-23 in this. To get to your bedroom, (which is a raised platform in another bedroom), you have to walk past the other bed in the room. You'd need a traffic light system in case your roommate is riding someone and they wanted a bit of privacy.

Not enough ceiling height either, it's not a bedroom ffs! How do these chances get away with it?

Gregor Samsa

It's literally a house and a half.

What I want to know is how do you get in behind the desk to work on your 4 computer screens? It's like a tech version of the kitchen we had the other day with the counter and units stretching right across the room.

Kind of reminds me of this desk

The table and chairs wouldnt be for me but I do appreciate that they are a fine piece of carpentry, I love the legs on the table itself.

If the chairs were a bit more grandiose I think it would make a fine dining table set for someone like Darth Vader, I could see him sitting down to dinner with a load of storm troopers at that table.

Drives me mad when there's no floor plan in the ad. I can't work out that layout at all. Is there 3 bedrooms all on top of each other. A bedroom within a bedroom within a bedroom?

Pic 1 and 2 are the same bedroom, the stair leads to the kitchen. Pic 3 is a second bedroom above the one from pic 1 and 2.

The guy with his bed in the landing has a PS5 and one of those little portable heaters/fire hazards.

This is one of the most depressing places I've seen

A five minute viewing slot for something you could be spending half a million on!

Cheers, at least I can make sense of it from the virtual tour.

Must be a serious fire safety issue though. I mean if there's a fire in the kitchen the smoke immediately rises to the 2 bedrooms which aren't separated by any doors.

Surely a planning violation?

fooking hell how can you view any house in 5 minutes.
It would take you that to negotiate all the beds and mattresses around the place.
