Not quite the same size (or value!) house but we use a retractable clothes line & also the tumble drier when the solar panels are generating enough to power it. Bit like a 50s housekeeper here: manic washing & drying on sunny days!
"Flood damaged property" Eh you don't say 😨
"Although condemned..." 🤣🤣 They are actually looking for money for this. Christ.
It’s a place I’ve been to. State capital of Alaska and property is (like here) bloody expensive so I can kind of understand the valuation.
300k for the privilege of taking on the cost of tearing the whole thing down etc. They'd be better clearing the site and selling that.
Possibly is the site value?
Works out at circa €360k. Roughly what a house I viewed in Dublin with subsidence damage (it was cracked in half so would be both demolish and major groundwork) had as asking..
You'd get a lot better than a cracked house in Dublin for 360k!
Maybe things have improved since I last looked. Pretty much all the stuff I viewed back in late-2019 and early-2020 were various shades of ghastly..
Not saying you'd get a palace or anything but you'd getting something that can at least stand up by itself!
To be fair, I wouldn't leave bathmats on the floor for professional photography for a sales brochure either. Expensive oriental rugs are different (and they were all fabulous!)
But my God, how did they manage to fill a huge house that much?
Couldn't get more contrast in bathroom en suite styles than the last couple of places really, could you....
I only just noticed the TV in between the sink and the shower!!!! That's mad.
they have both chosen a similar wall colour
It's a period house with period furniture and design so not much to complain about. If it had all been ripped out and modern furniture it would look worse.
I would take this over that Grange Rd, Rathfarnham house every day of the week!
Yeah but you’d have to reconcile with yourself the fact that you’d given John McGuire a 7 figure sum to put in his pocket.
Used to see him driving around town in a leased silver Aston Martin DB5 years ago…dose…
Who said anything about modern furniture?
You can have period style and stlll look good.
This doesn't. It looks awful.
Garage is 4.88m X 4.26.
Most large SUV's won't fit in there, barely space for 2 cars. Very odd.
I like the house, but judging by the panels on the roof terrace, and the angles on Street View, it's easily overlooked by the apartments beside the Herbert Park Hotel.
Three beds, five baths. Just how many bums do they have?
Karen Koster's house.
Be fine if you worked 9 to 5 in the city centre and you were loaded.
But I need a big garden or I'd be claustrophobic, a weekend retreat.
Must do the lotto tonight! :-)
It is a matter of taste but it is accurate to the house and original features. I think lots of period stuff looks tacky to modern tastes. It is what it is and many an original feature has been lost to differing tastes. You can have a nod to original features or go whole hog which these people did. I agree with you in that it looks awful but accurate and that furniture is very very expensive stuff
I think this is a lovely home. Cosy but big enough for a family home. The swimming pool is great also
That's really attractive. A little less pine maybe, but the BER and the pool make up for it. I'd really like it.
Clare property definitely feels more bang for your buck than the Grange one.
Yeah I know location etc but an absolutely way nicer house.
That is really lovely. I love the way they’ve kept the shell of the old cottage wall as a wind breaker.
The pool area is amazing, but for a house that size and price, I would expect there to be a second living room/reception room. There seems to be only the open plan living/kitchen/diner. That would be a deal breaker for me at that price, pool or no pool!
Promoted in yesterday's Irish Times. Slightly dated in some respects, especially externally, but timeless in others. Could benefit from some cosmetic improvements internally. But the location, site, views and overall feel of the house and grounds are really appealing. And a good price all things considered, especially when you see some of the other prices in the more desirable parts of the great Dublin area. In reality of course it may well be bought as a site.
New kitchen, get rid of the wallpaper in the bathroom, different colour interior paint and paint the skirting and architraves and it would be lovely.
The pool is amazing.
That's a fantastic house, I love it.
I really like their stone 'extended wall' feature, though I don't see it on any old maps.
Indoor pool for the winter, walking distance to the beach at Lahinch in summer. Nice stuff.
