Now that's more me.
Other than a few minor cosmetic changes, I could live in that house.
Also, I see lots of showers and WCs, but no bathroom with a tub, or did I miss it? I'd want at least one tub.
As usual I'm the odd one out, I like the staircase but hate everything else. 🤷♀️
Its nice as a museum piece but I wouldn't want to live in it.
If buying a new home, I'd want to live in a 2020s home, not in a 1920's one.
That's a beaut!
Stairs are fantastic
Wouldn't it be very boring to move into a house that needed nothing done to it? I'd be going in thinking...I could take out that wall, and move that door a bit, the kitchen could be this colour and that carpet needs replacing. And so on. Mind you, none of this would be in a house that cost 1.5 million.
A little expensive perhaps, but beautifully presented. And zilch to be done to it after you move in.
Arts and Crafts meets Frank Lloyd Wright. They have done a wonderful job preserving it. I love the layout, that long landing upstairs is an absolute favourite feature of mine. The eclectic art collection is interesting but out of place as are some of the furnishings and the kitchen. But overall it's very very appealing and so well preserved.
It looks a bit Frank LLoyd Wrighty, very nice.
I can appreciate the quality and the authenticity, but there is something about that style I do not like, originating somewhere in the distant past. Those corner windows especially.
Something else I don't like is that dratted AJ office furnishings ad with the shakey camera stuff, down the side of the page, damn thing has been on for months and is distracting and annoying.
Great find. A beautiful house.
Looking at those beefy radiators I doubt it'll be freezing...
That's a stunning house.
Wow, that is a gem, what a great find. Everything about it is so precise. I'm not sure I like the all white kitchen, it's seems out of place compared with other rooms (and the white bedroom too) but what a fabulous home
Wow I love it. Its amazing how bright the house is given that there so much dark wood - its still full of light. Its really well designed and I love the interior.
I wonder though what its like to live in from a practical point of view - would it be absolutely freezing or has it been upgraded heating and insulation wise.
I love it
The stairs, panelling, bathroom and especially the bathtub make this house. From the 1920's. I love it.

The living room is probably the warmest room in the house with that big open fire. I'd be more worries about the Superser in the kitchen, the storage heaters in the bedrooms and the towel lining the edge of the shower where it meets the stone wall - to prevent leakage into next room/wall/under the floor maybe? They might be all innocent enough but they are things I would look at further.
With that BER, I'm guessing there won't be any underfloor heating - those tiles in the sitting room would make it into a fridge in winter!
Most houses benefit from a good clearout and declutter for sales photographs - this one has gone too far, it just makes me shiver looking through them!
I love the shower though!
It looks like. Something cool to stay in on an air B&B or week long holiday but there is just far too much pine for any longer. Price is mental
BER of E1. That place is going to get very cold in winter. It would need a complete refit. Which is a pity, they kept the inside nice.
Three bed in commuting distance of south and west Dublin. For that price subject to surveyors report wouldn’t be the worst investment in the world, especially when compared to renting closer to Dublin.
How did you manage to dig up a 6 year old post to respond to???
That roof is diabolical. Has it been painted ?
You'd need a few skips to clear all the bric a brac that's accumulated inside and out, and to put a few of those lean-tos into also.
Covering up some of that wood would be an effort. But I'd worry more about the electrics and plumbing. Based on everything else about the place, those could well be DIY and that would be a big issue to resolve.
If it was a third of the price I'd take a chance on it and be prepared to throw another €100k/€150k at it. But setting yourself up to splash €750k on a wood shelter miles from anywhere is nuts.
Or a holiday home that’s empty for most of the year….
There's a lot of internal and external cameras there. I wonder if it was rented out as an airBNB and they wanted to make sure guests weren't thrashing the place.
I was once pretty close to that place. It was for a stag weekend. My phone told me I had left the country and was now roaming. :)
Edit: Just saw the screenshot in pic 28 and yep, there's no signal :)
Externally it's a blight on the landscape, internally it's dark and oppressive.
Did the owner win a lifetime supply of wood and used it everywhere for the craic?
For that price absolutely not!
The wood wouldn't overly bother me but I preferred the stonework where it appeared.
However for me it's about 400k over priced.
I'd be slightly more worried about all the cameras around the place. The roof is fairly normal tiles, they probably had it powerhosed, so it looks fresh, but will weather pretty quickly out there.
Soooo much pine. Way too much. Looks liek its been cobbled together over years with bits and pieces. I'd say its a plumbers and electrician's nightmare.
At that price, i'm out.
Well someone had fun with it!
I wouldn't like to be feeding 8 people (dining chairs) from a microwave - not sure how they come up with 'a life of luxury'. Its interesting. Interesting how they got pp for that bright orange roof as well! A lot of money for a holiday cottage.
I honestly don't know what to make of this...
