    That place keeps popping its head up every so often. Either it doesn't sell at all or it is going sale agreed but keeps falling through and gets relisted.

    Ah right, hadn't noticed it before.

    That house would be great for smurf or a small single person...but its a tiny abode.

    The bunk beds in the corridor are not a good look!
    Or is that the sitting room....

    You can also see what looks like another set of bunk beds in the first picture, through the front window.

    Estate agents should be more honest and advertise them as dormitories!

    Hell will have long since frozen over before that happens

    It already has, at least once :P

    But having said that, honest estate agents telling the truth, are even rarer.

    They appear to have upped the price as well. Was 220k, and 200k before that a year or 2 back

    It was an Air Bn'B for a good while. I can't remember for how much, but it was stupid money. It was built in a laneway between two houses IIRC. Been on the market for a couple of years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,644 ✭✭✭✭punisher5112


    I think even if I walked sideways in that she'd I'd have difficulty....
    I'd need a hoist or lift to get in or out of that bed upstairs, it's probably about the right size for a leprechaun.....

    That's nuts and they want €250k....

    My back garden is twice the size of the over all site, my front sitting room is about the size of the whole house....

    One would want to be seriously deluded or tiny to buy that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,436 ✭✭✭✭retalivity


    Think they were charging 100 a night on airbnb, aimed at people going on the rip on nearby camden st, which is how they are probably coming up with the mad valuation.

    Not sure if it's that particular one that is going up for sale every year or so but there is always one on that small road which is up for sale. In that general area a price like that would be very good value. but... I wonder why.... always for sale.

    It is definitely that one or at least the one that keeps appearing on this thread uses the same interior pictures as that.

    I have counted 25 properties up for sale on that road or off that road in the last 11 years from the Property Register, which I would imagine is a mountainous number. None seem to be for property 19A.

    However it has been advertised in the past. Could it be advertised under a different address as any of the other properties have not referred to their properties as being in Portobello but this one does.

    No need to apologise. I wasn't giving out or anything, just pointing out that it keeps getting re-listed. It keeps coming up on this thread for a reason. Although, technically it shouldn't be posted on this thread at all. This thread is for houses and it isn't a house, it's an alley way with a fecking roof on it. :pac:

    Harry potter had better accommodation than the people living in that place.

    The bunk beds in the corridor are not a good look!
    Or is that the sitting room....

    The whole house is basically a corridor! I think 1.7m wide at its widest? (I went to see it years ago when it was for sale, pre-airbnb so being used as an actual house to live in. It wasn't for me :D)

    I'd say it keeps getting relisted for sale, but just never actually gets sold. Maybe if they took the three-deep beds out, and neutralised it a bit they might have more success.....

    The place is ridiculous, I wouldn't want it - not at that price anyway - but I don't dislike the decor. If they would just take the beds out of the hall.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,045 ✭✭✭Gregor Samsa


    Beds in the hallway aside, they've probably done as good a job with the ridiculously small space as can be done.

    That's not the hall, that's the sitting room!

    That, I think, is the bannister for the stairs.

    No, I think the stairs has a wall between it and the front of the house.

    I wondered the same thing. In the description it says ... 'bathroom and master bedroom on mezzanine.'

    But where :D and why is there no photo of it, hmm.
