Same garden
@The Nal I just noticed the 'unusual' radiator in the kitchen too 😂
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.
I have to admit that photo number 4 got me in the feels. There's a backstory there.
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.
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?
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.
The Sandycove Institute for Finer Living?
Outside it wow, inside is meh. Yeah I see that Ikea furniture in your €5.5m gaff.
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!
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.
Totally agree, it's a very, very popular area with all sorts of folks.
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?
Can anyone spot me €5m?......I'm good for it.
So you have a half a mil. I would need a lend of the full €5.5m.

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.
How the other half live!
It was sold in 2010 for €3.1 million and then returned to the market in 2013 seeking €3.75 million, this time with planning for the construction of the new property. The existing house and mews was to be demolished and the new design given a 180-degree spin so that the main entrance now faces Sandycove Avenue North, a warm and welcoming south-westerly aspect. It is listed as having sold for €2.75 million in August of that year, according to the property price register
" The property accommodation comprises of three bedrooms, kitchen/dining room, and pantry. "
So no bathroom, that's one of the bedrooms then 🤣🤣🤣
Just piss in the kitchen sink like a normal person.
The scabby looking lockers/tables they have beside the beds.
€5.5m would buy an awful lot better methinks.
Plus as the owner ages, they'll regret putting in that sunken area.
I know the market prices are high but €15.5m sounds way over for that property.
Sure it's a contemporary modern build in a very prestigious location. However as has been pointed out- the lovely cove becomes a cess pit of the worst of the worst people the city has to offer from May to September.
That's €8m all day long. It'll be interesting to see if it sells at close to that price.
€15.5 million?
Think you need to read the article again!
Ha!!!! Holy moly, I misread that.
It's a snip at 5.5!
This would give me some psychological flashbacks. Total PTSD about it.
You can rent a room in a former school in New Ross. €275 a month, bills included, bring your own rug. Bring a friend for a romantic dinner. Only good thing is that the toilets aren't from a National School so you don't have to sit on it with your knees around your ears. Chalk off each day on the blackboards.

hahaha wtf is going there??
The size of the room and they couldn't even put in a real bed. Grim.
Depressing looking, that school.
lol
Jaysus. How was planning permission ever given for a school building to be used as residential accommodation.
Another example of our dysfunctional housing market.
