And oh... "Porn" from Holland

That's someone who couldn't decide which style period he/she prefers - a lesson in style history from medieval ages to Biedermeier to post-modern, including pockets of French countryhouse and antique Rome, plus some garden gnome kitsch and Mrs. Bucket. Fantastically bonkers!

The most authentic part is the dust on the wine bottles.

€97500 for some ones attic of 16 m2 in Lombok, Utrecht.
Personally i wouldnt even want to be found dead there but afaik it is rather popular for students.
Pretty sure this was just 1 house which has been transformed into 3 "studios"

Jesus you wouldn't want to be either tall or claustrophobic.

I doubt it. Considering the whole style setup they might be well artificially dust covered.

Oh my god. With that location, you are paying 600 a month to sit in traffic if you intend to commute to Dublin. No decent shops in walking distance either!

To be honest, i dont look at interiors and or styles when i like a building. In The Netherlands you always rent or buy an empty house.
There are furnished places for rent but that is more for short term. Like people coming over for a defined period but too long to stay in hotels. Usually not the kind of people who end up making sandwiches in company canteens.

Gotta love the 60's decor. "Dont Stop believing" pink bathroom.

Wouldn't like to sleep inn the bed with the gas boiler above my ahead, best keep a gallon of holy water in the bedroom to exorcise it.

Jaysus, I can smell the piss of that house just from the pictures. Over half a million for that?

HALF A MILLION!

4 bed house around the corner from the Luas? They'll have no bother selling it.

Replace the furniture with your own and re-decorate and it's a very nice house. Eventually tear out the bathroom and kitchen too.

I would have thought half a mill was about right for Kilmacud.

It's in good condition, if you like that sort of thing.

And who wouldn't want a genuine Child Of Prague statue without the head knocked off?

Plenty of 4 bedroom houses in Tallaght, right beside the Luas, less than half that price.

Anyone paying half a million for what looks like an ex council house needs their head examined.

In Tallaght.

Tallaght =/= Kilmacud

Red Luas line =/= Green Luas line!

And it's doesn't look like an ex-council house to me.

I'd say it'll easily get that price, and probably more.

4 bedroom house with potential to extend to the side and rear in Kilmacud.
Yeah I agree this is competitively priced to get bidding going.

And this is why we've another boom/bust situation coming only this time it will be a lot worse because there is not more money to bail the banks out.

It's not really. The property linked is a very desirable property.

It's a good size (in Dublin terms) with 4 beds, with a good size front garden and a good sized back garden. It has a separate garage and a conservatory (yet still retains a pretty large garden).

It's in leafy Kilmacud, a quiet and relatively affluent suburb. 5 minutes walk to the Luas, 2 mins on the Luas to Dundrum shopping centre, 20 minutes into town, pubs within walking distance, 2 minute drive to the m50, 10 minute walk into Stillorgan, good schools in the area.

It ticks pretty much every single box for what people want for a family home.

And with all due respect to Tallaght, there is no comparison here.

Apart from the fact that it looks ****.

This is not a half a million front view

And it's half a million euro. This is the point people are not getting.

No asset is worth 5 times what it would cost to build.

All well and good saying yes, ideal family home. You need a young couple on very high wages to pay that high of a mortgage and they likely wouldn't be able to afford to have kids.

It's all about perspective guys. I'm saying this from a point of experience.

But look, people will never learn, it's the reason that economies go boom/bust all the time.

A fresh lick of paint and it looks absolutely fine.

Exactly, ex council house at best. Don't know why people think otherwise.

I get that. It's half a million euro because that's what it's worth.

People love waffling on about boom and bust. There are not enough properties like the one linked on the market, they are very desirable hence the price is high whenever one does come up. This specific one is in very good condition, the problems are mostly cosmetic. The price has damn all to do with banks or any other such ****e.

That house will sell no problem. A family could buy it no problem. A young couple with good jobs will afford that mortgage and kids.

I take it you're one of those who has fallen into the trap of paying ridiculous money for a house and so you're trying to justify it?

Nope, not at all.

I can just see that house for what it is.

Agree and I don't think you would get the equivalent house in Tallaght for half the price, I'd be shocked and I live in Tallaght.

This house will not cost 100k or less to rebuild :eek:
here is a link https://www.scsi.ie/advice/house_rebuilding_calculator
You would be looking at easy 250k to rebuild.
