Looks like it's owned by the same person as that place in Portrane.
Is it just my imagination or does the living room have a curved wall? Where is the curve coming from? Those houses are box shaped
I thought there was mould on the ceiling in pic 3 but then saw the rest of the pics and realised it is a Decorative Effect. They did manage to get the leopard-skin wallpaper effect right - putting the shadows in the recessed corner and the light strip on the outer corner, giving the whole room a rather nauseating rippled effect.

I love what they've done with the garden 😁
From the Irish Property Market Chat thread:
Property Partners O'Brien Swaineare are proud to offer this Tallaghfornia special.
Words fail me.
But then again maybe its me who has the problem.
That waterfall bed is also a death trap. You could roll off the end, no safety guards?
Definitely not a home meant for kids, thats for sure.
That New York one is awful. It tries to go for the industrial look which can look great if it’s pulled off but it just looks grimey and unfinished in places
They’ve gone for some faddy looks too and it looks all over the place.
Im sure a proper designer could make that look incredible but it’s awful as is
I know that the price is taking into account the location, and you get a lot of space by Manhattan standards, but that New York apartment is absolutely vile.
Oh god I'd be up all night peeing!
It looks like it should be an underground bunker. I hate it.
I hate those breakfast bars. I mean, there is a table and chairs right there.... use it.
I like the sitting room with the blue cushions. But not the other with the two different floor levels and the big railing.
Too many oddly shaped little nooks and crannies, seems like a waste of space - and the garden lets it down big time for me. It looks like its mostly tarmac!
I'm also horrified at the number of windows that would require cleaning.
It screams architect-knobber to me...
The bed in that NY house looks like a deathtrap, and wtf is the story with the waterfall?
I cant decide which house is the worst - this one in New York or the one in Portrane posted yesterday by Citizen Six
Looks like a crazy contemporary art museum.
I have to get up in the night to pee as it is. If I slept over a waterfall I'd be up all night
Yes, that's a waterfall. Under the bed.
And its 8m...EIGHT MILLION. For gravel, and concrete blocks in the windows.
Its not just the elderly either - anyone who has had a mis-step on a stair knows that feeling.
But besides that, as @looksee posted, it is showroomed. Personally I like the warmth of the timber & leather combination, especially those brown leather couches. The tree branch light - not so much.
My elderly father has already fallen twice in his home, and just won't allow me to put in a handrail for him.
And it's a simple install.
Another thing I'd do is put a longer surface on top of the kitchen sink island so that it over hangs the bar stools, making it a much more practical breakfast bar.
If I wanted that much house, that one is interesting and pleasing, if a bit soulless at the moment, but it has been 'showroomed' for sale. I agree a bit more colour would be attractive, but the beige/off white is harmless and neutral. I had completely forgotten about that estate, I saw it being built which I seem to recall was when you had to travel the old Tramore Road because the main road was flooded - every time there was a shower of rain. Its well hidden in narrow winding backroads but a good situation generally, though its a car journey from anywhere.
When you look at streetview there is a rather disconcerting number of other houses, all looking very similar but the streetview is from 2009; the actual photos show that the site has matured very well since.
That seems like a reasonable price considering the size of the site and the quality (it appears) of the build.
Ì noticed the same thing. Its bonkers not having handrails on stairs. The leading cause of injury & deaths in homes are falls and a simple handrail can help prevent that.
Not a bad house but I'd have to put a hand rail on the stairs.
The more I look at that ad, the more I'm convinced it has to be a wind-up of some sort, or someone testing the limits of DAFT's ad control policy or something.
It just can't actually be for real. Can it?
Anyone nearby confirm that it exists and has/had tenants?
Can this be reported for inspections or anything? I'm not sure if this is a thing but I think all rentals should be inspected and must be a standard much better than this.
Always wondered what most of these houses looked like on the inside. Have seen a couple on here before, think one had the "ground floor" as the middle floor, complete with bridge to front door. This one is done quite tastefully, if not very beige (but beige looks clean at least). I thought it would be more than 4 rooms tbh! Fine house for 800k, but again, no proper privacy as neighbours on top of ya. Spent a good few times driving through this estate. Haven't been in years!
Are you looking at the old ad? In the ad on DAFT it says 3 bed and lists 1 single and 2 double bedrooms....
It’s got sleeping for 3 rather than 3 bed.
So in 2018 it was a two-bed, now its a three-bed?
If its six months to two years you need an electric certificate for the ESB. That costs about 500-700 euro for a two or three bed house. Longer than two years it treated as a new connection.
