The owner is an interior designer, it would be lovely stripped back.
Great sized rooms, storage and a lovely garden, but cash only buyers sets off alarm bells.
crikey that was not what I was expecting!!!
Great find alright.
Rooms aren't that big, good camera angles help, as does the wide doorway for the first bedroom. Love the garden. Not a fan of all the marble and the nick nacks. A hoor to start dusting that on a Sunday morning after a feed of beer on a Saturday night.
And yes, it has been flooded before, or it sounds like it has.
P.7 of this

Love the layout, great use of space. Easy enough to tone down the interior, after you pay for it of course. Good work in the garden, screening it off from the flats behind. Bit of a gamble overall given the the Camac flood alleviation scheme is only kicking off: https://camacfas.ie/
Decor not to my taste but that is easily changed. A lot bigger than I was expecting and the garden is also very nice.
Odd to request cash buyers only.
This thread goes round and round in circles! I remember that house being on here before - it must be proving difficult to sell (I wonder why??!!)
The front door opening onto the narrow pavement of an incredibly busy traffic route in and out of town would be a huge turnoff for me - the dirt and noise would be horrendous.
ETA showing as sold in 2020 for €381,500
Seems to have been listed on and off since 2022. started at 520,000 euro
not to my taste, but just shows the imagination of some people, amazing! Great garden too, for a city house. Wonder why cash only...
'Cash only' because the usual mortgage lender won't give a typical loan out on a flood risk house.
'Typical' as in a 80%-90% loan. You might get a 20% one. First thing I'd be looking at is if it is possible to get insurance against flooding there. If they don't, then you're in a lot of trouble, and it's why the mortgage lenders don't want to back you up.
Looks like its a problem alright
Have a look around St. Mary's Park or Moyross in Limerick and see what can be done about knocking terraced houses!

Faulkners Terrace, not to my taste but if you like the style its very well done.
Jaysus thats one grim neighbourhood.
I was feeling great with the sunshine out today until I saw that on streetview. Seriously depressing.
Back in 2010
Then 2019
Are they that much of a **** hole that nobody wants to live there and as such there are nothing but fields left rather than houses that are in high demand throughout the country due to lack of them.
Yep. Fields but with plumming, water, wired for electricity, broadband, TV etc
Look at the O'Malley Park area of Limerick. 1 mile from town
The pictures above are from Moyross. Southill and St Mary's Park (Kings Island). Much has been written about the problems in these areas along with Ballinacurra Weston, and the reasons why regeneration involving clearance in some cases was chosen as the solution. The few houses that remain in the areas where houses were planned for demolition are the result of recognising the occupants right to remain. Overall it's a sad and very unfortunate story, and one which has many lessons that we can learn from if we choose to do so.
I really like this one, comes with an acre of land
The horror. The horror.
Looks like it was a garage originally. That’s all it is fit to be turned back into. At least the floor is already painted for the new owner.
€25k is a bit rich for a plot like that in a rural Limerick village
Makes my bones ache looking at it.
In the bleak midwinter, frosty winds made moan...
Speaking of kips I came across a video of an estate in Ballaghaderreen, Co Roscommon recently called Gleann Ard. It looks okay on Google Street back in 2010
You might need a Facebook account to view the video.

The bathroom is under this metal roof. Eek!
Jaysus, were they council houses? If not who the hell bought a house for roughly 150-200k and let it go to sh*t and not just one house but a fair few.
NAMAed. Left unsecure. Probably had any wiring, plumbing etc ripped out by thieves during the recession. No money to refit them now. God only knows what faceless company owns most of them these days. Now the site of serious illegal dumping by ‘man with a van’ unlicensed waste collectors.
The title of the video tries to imply it’s because of something else but there’s enough threads in IMHO for that BS.
Let’s keep this one for horror show houses for sale 🙂
Shame on me for saying this but, I really like that.
'Charming'!!!!
Take Punt ?
2 Kinnego Park, Buncrana, Co. Donegal, F93A9W2 is for sale on Daft.ie
They've no chance of shifting that, other than with a bulldozer.
It looks like a house where they had to move out and then they redecorated to cover up the problems. They forgot to do the kitchen ceiling though 😲
Nothing gets past the eagle eyes of the Boards forensic team. 😝
The ill fitting jacks seats (what is it about some people not being able to fit jacks seats correctly?) are bad enough but the broken cupboard doors under the kitchen sink scream 'we couldn't give a sh!t about this place'.
But then.....
Ok, I shall leave it with them.
Whilst this property has not been tested for deleterious materials it should be noted there are signs of deterioration in the blockwork. Interested parties should have their own independent survey to satisfy themselves on the building's structure.
I'd have thought the giant crack appearing in the back exterior wall was enough of a sign without needing a survey. €155k for something that needs to be rebuilt. Chancers.
Of course there's likely a cash buyer will snap it up and then demand compo from the redress scheme.
