Something special in Sandycove

No 31 Lower Albert Road in Sandycove, south Dublin must be the most popular house on the market in the capital at present.

On its first day of viewing close to 100 parties came through the door. In fact offers were on the table within days of it being launched, says agent Steven Manek of DNG. This comes as no surprise as No 31 is a very special house. According to Manek viewers have been a mixture of both traders up and traders down; however, there were also a large number of people who came along just for a look.

Sold to the current owners back in 2004 for close to €900,000, the current asking price is €995,000, although the property has since been practically rebuilt inside. Another high specification luxury home on the same the road has an asking price of €1.35 million, although it has been on the market for close to two years now.
