yeah a redecoration and you have a lovely house, she is an interior designer so it was a full refurb and decoration, not to everyones taste but someone must like it
This is the floor plan of Daniel O'Donnell's apartment. Typical Celtic Tiger rubbish. The only place to put the main bed is on a wall backing onto the other bedroom or the other ensure. No thought given to noise abatement. With the standard being wood frame walls and zero sound proofing you end up listening to your guests snoring or farting away. Would make more sense to put the ensuite from the main bedroom up against the 2nd bedroom. And that's just the start.
And size - that's over 2500 sq ft, doesn't look it from the outside.
Very (very) questionable taste in decoration (but each to their own, I suppose), but that's a fabulous house.
Given the streetview shot is from 2 years ago, I'm assuming it was done up to sell - I'm I'm surprised they went so "out there" with the decor given how it was bound to split the crowd.
Dont care for her taste but itll get close to asking given the location.
That house looks like a Minecraft character
Nope, it's like that in reality
It is me or is that house lopsided? The door looks off centre of the double frontage, unless they stretched one side in Photoshop but not the other..
True, but people do it.
€2.5 million!! It's really not worth half that, I wouldn't hire that interior designer based on their choices for their own home either....
Whoever wrote the description is fond of using the word elegant or elegantly. They've used it 8 times.
I think maybe I don't understand the word elegant because lots of it looks very ugly to me.
I love how they describe it as brave.
Awful choices throughout
The specific kind of ugliness you could only get from an interior decorator
"Striking distance" being a 90 min drive? It's equally striking distance from Cork then, which is some feat
Picture 8 - its like the painting version of those pens where when you tipped them over the lady's clothes came off 😂 Bonus points for the nipple pinch!
plus a small nuclear power station to heat it.
Bonus point for a creepy demonic face collage in pic 16. Who doesn't want to wake up and see that.
Great use of the wide angle lens on pic 8 and 14 - or are those bendy walls why its so cheap?
Seems like a lot of house for the money. New roof, but some suspicious patches on some walls.
Even so, striking distance of Dublin.
Its nice but does need alot of work on the interior. Its looking a bit tired and unloved.
It would be lovely though if restored and redecorated to its former glory.
It needs a good bit of work. Nice setting but I'm not mad about the house.
Or Daniel O'Donnell's penthouse at 760k;

Quote;(Independent 2006)
"The Excalibur and Deliverance director criticised Ireland at the preview (a Tiger's Tale) in September for its "new prosperity - and vulgar flaunting of wealth" and its "stunning landscapes - and the plague of ugly bungalows".".
Good man John!
A brand new hotel opened in Ballaghdereen during the Celtic Tiger, which failed and is now a refugee centre. No one does want to stay around there.
...
The developer who owned that one in Roscommon went into Nama. Had it taken from him. Bought it back at a lower price via a friend.
Hasn't sit totally idle either. Last time I was there it had some of the windows replaced, and had been further secured. Last use was as a nursing home run by the nuns.
No chance of it becoming a hotel. No one really wants to stay around there. It doesn't even have lake frontage anymore.
Someone bought it in the late 90s and put in to convert to a hotel, never happened
There is a large building like that near me that looks similar and someone bought it during the boom so I'd say they massively over paid and I'm sure they had great plans for it but unfortunately it has been idle since they bought it for what must be coming up to nearly 20 years now.
This would probably make a decent hotel. Although the newer parts look terrible architecturally in my opinion. But I couldn't see anyone investing in it

Thats a lovely house. The design is so tasteful and timeless. I could easily live there. Its a pity though that the house is surrounded by so many trees - I love trees but it would be lovely to have a good view of the lake from the house. I guess that could be rectified easily though by cutting a few trees ( and getting a bit of firewood for the stove 😉).
Although is appears secluded, there are lots of decent bars and restaurants within a fifteen minute drive as well as many fantastic beaches.
