How do you squeeze 3 bedrooms, a kitchen/dining area and a pantry into 40 m². i'd just love to know... shame they haven't included any photos of the interior.
So you have a half a mil. I would need a lend of the full €5.5m.
Can anyone spot me €5m?......I'm good for it.
Judging by google street view, the house didnt even exist in 2014 - https://goo.gl/maps/PrUKkPamCeMTX5yA9
How the hell did that get permission when so close to the presumably listed martello tower?
Totally agree, it's a very, very popular area with all sorts of folks.
I love the views but is far too clinical for my taste. I couldnt get cosy and comfy in a house like that. Also I think houses that are architectural like this one dont tend to age well - in 10 years time it will be an eyesore.
Haha, was just admiring the IKEA cushions we have in our very modest home!!
That's a fine house, in a fine location - but the hordes of swimmers/dippers/skangers/illegal parkers that invade that small area every weekend all summer would put me right off. And it's never not busy.
I'd want a LOT more privacy / peace & quiet for 5.5 million!
The Sandycove Institute for Finer Living?
Outside it wow, inside is meh. Yeah I see that Ikea furniture in your €5.5m gaff.
They got rid of the garden and put a driveway/walkway up to the apartments.
There is another house that looks the same on the other side of the house to the right as facing it. maybe slightly bigger.
So people bought the old cottages knocked them down and built further back on the plot. What is weird is it looks like a public access lane by the back garden. Where does that come from?
You can tell from the second picture it was once part of a terrace of cottages. Looks like someone looked after the exterior down the years at least. I can see the place getting half mill considering the Lough Atalia facing garden.
I have to admit that photo number 4 got me in the feels. There's a backstory there.
Jaysus. I felt some sort of motion sickness after looking at that Tipp house. Professional photographers exist for a reason!
That Inchicore house... I had to look through the photos about 4/5 times before I could make sense of the layout. When I read the plans, I thought the kitchen/living was up top but the inside/outside photos didn't look that way. After I made sense of it all, I found it hard to fault. Looks like a really clever use of space.
@The Nal I just noticed the 'unusual' radiator in the kitchen too 😂
Same garden
Talking of optical illusions... have a look at picture number 8
There is a drop down to the river at the back, which makes it two storey at the back and one and a bit at the front.
The entrance is mid way up the stairs, with steps leading up to the bedrooms or down to main living area.
The style of house is common enough in the area, but not usually so extreme.
That's a strange effect right enough. Those windows are first floor windows, even though the lower sill is below the top of the door. The hall must be very strange?
I tried to buy that over a year ago, but was outbid. It's gone sale agreed a couple of times. Also tried to buy the one next door when it was up for sale.
It actually looks like that in real life. Check out street view. They are old worker cottages for railway employees
Check out the mad optical illusion the window placement on the front of this one creates, makes it look like the door is barely big enough for a child to get in.

The information appears to be incorrect. Its the guest bedroom that has access to the patio area, and in order to get outside to the back you have to go through the guest bedroom. Both bedrooms have flat (not vaulted) ceilings and the velux opens into the mezzanine, not the master bedroom as stated.
I had a place like this in Cork for a couple of years when in University there. it was grand for what it was, a step up from most student house shares. At that market it's fine, for anything more longterm it's truly grim.
Nice layout and done well, but for €300k, even in the current market seems expensive. But the mezzanine level could be a great way to ground kids...
Yes...its a front door. So?
A front door to a railway carriage, with a horrid thin mattress to sleep on. "This is a small space and so caters to a conscientious tidy individual." Too right.
Hi so I'm away on holiday next week so the heating will be off, try not to freeze to death while I'm away.
Not sure I would call Maynooth suburbia it is in a different county. It is a commuter town not the suburbs. Even Swords would be a commuter town not the suburbs to me. Could be to do with age and knowing these places before they got more built up. East Wall isn't considered the city centre because it is before the canal.
At 43 sq m, it's absolutely tiny!! Some clever photography going on there for sure.
But clever use of the teeny footage to get two ensuite bedrooms and what looks like a fairly reasonable amount of storage (you wouldn't want to be a hoarder though!), and good height in the living area giving an illusion of space.
As others have said, though, I'd take that over suburbia any day.
Yeah I was surprised with the inside of it, it's small enough but looks bigger - not sure if that is the layout or the way the photos are taken ☺️ it definitely beats a pokey apartment for a similar price.
If I was single and a first time buyer Id much prefer that than some dogbox in Maynooth
