The link didn’t work it seems and I can’t find the specific post I intended to quote.
It was a house in Dublin that was valued at €8m 15 years ago and just sold for €1.15m.
….
Purchased for €775,330 in 2022 - they're looking for a big jump in 2 years.
Advertised at €1.3m per the IT in 2019

We viewed the 4-bed in the development in late 2021/early 2022 - it ended up going for around €1.1m
Entrance is off Eaton Brae road - the development is crammed into what was once the garden of the old house - which is now apartments.

I think that was posted here before, it obviously didn't sell.
On Streetview I can't figure out how you get to it, it looks like it is on the grounds of the embassy. Not sure I'd enjoy the protests against Putin up the road either. It's not bad inside, bedrooms are a bit small. I'd have preferred a bigger bedroom to an inner courtyard.
That looks grim. For the price they are looking for, they could have at least tidied up the planting to make it look a bit attractive!
The unplastered walls are probably some highly paid architects idea of class or they ran out of money 😂.
The finish inside is bleak also but clean. There is not much point to that glass sunroom area when there is no garden. The long narrow space isnt that practical - Im not sure what anyone could do with it.
A million quid to live in a two bed soulless bungalow that backs onto the Russian Embassy compound?
Net, spaseeba…
Can you imagine if the sitting room was at 1 end and your bedroom the other end.
I'd say FC uk it and sleep on the couch.
You’d have no bother getting your daily 10,000 steps without ever putting your nose outside the door.
I’d say the 2,500 acres on the outskirts of Paris has more to do with the price than the actual house.
Would be like living in a large five star hotel with nobody else there. Billionaire version of The Shining
the layout of the buildings is about as well thought out as my houses in The Sims.
Dont like it 😐
youd be amazed at how little 2.5m gets you in the general vicinity in terms of privacy 🤣
I'll put a bid in. Doubt they'll accept it.
It's got 'Saudi Royal Family' written all over it as next owner.
Who fancies putting in a bid on the most expensive gaf in the world (currently)?

I'd imagine that these are the reasoning for the reduced price.
The Rathsallagh estates nearby had a bad name 20 years ago, but most of the more troublesome neighbours have grown up/moved on at this stage.
For that money I would want to be completely detached, not sharing a wall with a stranger
Which ad is this? More curious about the Dwight Shrute look a like as I'm currently watching the office for the first time.
He looks like Dwight Shrute.
He surely lost his shirt on that deal; I’d say it cost a bit more than €1m to build and finish.
Stupid prices and a stupid location.
”unparalleled access to Dublin”…”50 minutes”.
absolute waffle! 😁
The entrances are separated, Abingdon the house has it's own entrance, Abingdon Park, has a few houses from a different entrance. Presume it was all land belonging to the main house, once upon a time.
Its not a bad area, it's not Killiney hill, but it's a grand spot
Could be boundary and/or access issues alright
take a look at the second pic with the aerial view. it seems directly attached to another property behind it. very odd.
I know someone who lives in an end-of-row house in a very established estate. There's a green patch beside their house. Recently they discovered that the green patch - despite not having a boundary and being a "public" area - was actually privately owned by Lord Such-and-such that still owns the ground rents on a number of the houses. So he approached them and asked if he could buy some of it. They said yes, so he did, and was able to extend the full length of his property 4 meters to the side. There's still some green area left. There's actually other areas in his estate where end of row houses could potentially do the same thing.
It was 😊
Not sure if this has been posted before.

I was in that situation. Originally the developer marked off the sites to standard sizes, but never did anything about the extra bits on the ends of rows of houses. The builders then casually put the garden wall round the whole lot, so I had a big garden but didn't realise till I went to sell that I didn't actually own part of the garden and a block shed. My solicitor just applied for it to be registered to the rest of the site and that was all there was to it. Apparently it had happened at every road-end and lots of people had just applied for the extra bit to be registered.
No, like all the properties on the street it's owned right out to the pavement. Can't say if it was always like that.
