I can't pinpoint what I find funny about this place, but it doesn't feel right:

Well for one thing, the two photos aren't of the same house.
A converted attic in a bungalow? The doors and windows go up the roof, but the interior photo shows a good metre of so of wall above the floor of the attic conversion.

I'm seeing red and all on 0.5 acres.
Was there anything money couldn't buy?

It's like the inside of the house in Scarface.

Say hello to my lil' friend!

The internal walls of the attic are stepped back a metre or so from the walls, you can see the hatch into the roof space in the second photo, but it looks really dark and dingy!

The fact it costs 550 a month?

Or that the contact name is Jason Denton Bsc?

Suspiciously close to JC Denton, protagonist from the original Deus Ex game.

Ah I see what you mean.

Is it just the attic that's for rent? Who'd want to live in an attic, in tallaght, for 550 a month??
(not having a dig at tallaght but it's not like its a central location worth paying a premium for)

It is a bit weird but saying that nothing surprises me on the Irish rental market , the place that I referred to earlier in Phibsboro seems to be finished and there are shutter blinds on the door and window. They'll provide privacy I suppose but it still seems like a really strange design for a living space , why not brick up the shop front window and put a small sash window in , maybe the shop front design is a protected structure?.

This looks like somebody had been playing The Sims for ages and then decided to build their Sim house in real life.

Why do people but a bale of towels on beds when photos are taken?
Just seen an ad where it was obvious it was the exact stack of four towels on four different beds..

Makes it easier to do a cool wash.

Note

Buyers are asked to research the history of this property.

Well, you all have google at your fingertips. Go on ahead, I'll wait.

At least the house would have been stripped out, saves getting rid of previous owners belongings.

Hopefully the drains are working properly again by this stage.

Jaysus. Talk about giving me a good scare before bedtime!

Apart from the :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: of the house's history, what genius took the pictures for the ad? One of a stairway, one of the inside corner of the shower, and one of the loo (:D:D).

Toots

Bet it's haunted!

Imagine cooking a big pot of stew at the stove in the kitchen...

Good christ!

The price of it too.

See, this is what these serial killers never think about - the future resale value of their property. In this market, that's just not prudent.

Lol, I actually recognised it straight away. I have an unhealthy interest in serial killers :P

Would any here actually consider living in such a house, considering what went on it? Even for the shock factor of bringing someone home, and just before they fall asleep, whisper into their ear 'Guess who used to live here? . . . '

Considering what went on there, that asking price is ridiculous.

You'd have to keep saying that to yourself while sitting on the jacks...
