Agreed, but the taps are on the side!
Odd configuration alright!
And then you have this one, from the fabulous Wexford house - a gorgeous view of.... the wall!
I should have looked at the photos again before posting 🙄
My next guess is that the pipework for the taps is 'unsightly' and best hidden from view when entering the room. Plus if your head is at one end or the other, the taps won't really interrupt your view as you nonchalantly let it turn to the side and try to spot the guard with the binoculars.
1650 for a flat on meath st? madness.
I remember going to view a flat on Meath St many years ago and the landlord being way too enthusiastic in getting us to take the place and sign a lease. Alarm bells were already ringing when it was obvious that the front door had recently been kicked in, and were dinging even louder when we stepped outside and a heavily pregnant lady and her friend were kicking the living sh!t out of each other in the street
Did you not enjoy the delightful local colour?

Well this starts off lovely and then gets a bit...weird. House link: https://inigo.com/sales-list/waxwing
Its Art. And you wouldn't actually use those rooms, you would just install a minimum of arty furniture, and admire them.
Wow ...... it looks like 2 different people done the interior design.
Yeah I'd imagine they live in the 'normal' bits and the others are, as @looksee said, art. Maybe for special occasions or rented for photography sessions, events, who knows?
This is the guy who owns it at the moment: https://todhanson.com/work/
It's the crucket lamp shade that gets to me!
That’s probably what drove them batty, it won’t go straight, is always crooked.
At what point does a north facing "terrace" become a major issue when the house costs 1.25m?
It would be great if it was the house that was crooked.
It’s nicely done, but an insane price for a north facing garden flat. Note that despite it being a sunny day, all the photos have been taken with the lights on. Massive red flag for me…..how dark would it be on there on a rainy grey day
The sky lights help a lot though. I think it's great, and way out of many a budget. I only hope there's some black out blinds on the bedroom Sky lights otherwise summer sleeping could be a problem.
..And the crooked plant stand
And the other lamp, with stand and shade crooked in different directions 😧
For a house with a lot of straight lines, there's a horrible amount of twitch-inducing misalignments!!!
This is the house in Portobello. Sorry, but where does a visitor go to the toilet? Both bathrooms are en-suites. There isn't even a guest WC, let alone a bathroom that someone staying overnight could use, or am I missing something?
It's lovely but with the staircase in the living room that's a bit of an issue. You couldn't be watching something of an evening on the TV or listening to music without it affecting someone upstairs.
Also, there's a CCTV camera in the living room ceiling 😲
The warped shutter which does not stay fully open or close property is all I saw. Probably from years of having to go around closings all the downstairs shutters each night, to keep the robbers out.
Edit: I just noticed the round paper lamp shades, 70s bedsit flash back!
Notice the sockets in/on the skirting board, you have not been allowed to do this since (I believe) some time in the 70s. Looks like a lot of work was done, but no rewire?
I was htinking that, the big bathroom off the main bedroom must be the main bathroom but you'd have to go through the bedroom to get to it.
I was invited to dinner in an ex-boss's apartment in the US years ago. It was a nice one bed apartment, with a large living/dining/kitchen area, and then a small room upstairs, which was used as an office and guest room (futon). But the only bathroom was the en-suite in her (and her partner's) bedroom. I held it in.
It's so you dont have to climb in the bath with your bare arse on show to the garda with the binoculars on the road
Doesn't look like that big of a job to knock a door through to the landing.
The plans could be drawn incorrectly, and it might be a jack and Jill bathroom.
The finish is lovely on it. For a single person working in cc, that would be lovely.
That Portobello is gorgeous but not worth 1.2 mill. It's really only practical for a couple or a single person, not a family. Imagine the noise downstairs if children were running up or down the stairs?
It's a big enough job. In both cases you're moving a shower, or else giving up on one. Few grand either way with door frames, new tiling etc.
You can do it with the bathroom off the main bedroom and use a very narrow door, but then you've lost the privacy element of having an ensuite in the first place. I like the house, it's just a very odd set up for something where so much money has been invested into. Some people don't mind someone walking through their bedroom, I'd never allow it.
They could have out the guest WC in the bathroom, or made the walk in wardrobe smaller.
