High Cross, 40 Temple Road, Dartry, Dublin 6.
House has been on the market for what looks like years now, its €5.75m now. Anyone have any inside intel on why it hasn’t sold? Is it just priced too high?
Also, is it not technically Rathmines and not Dartry.
Gorgeous south-facing garden too.

That’s quite the gaff.
Former poster on this site SoCoDu might know something about the house as he has/had a blog on Dublin’s finest homes.

Now sold for €5.75M. One of the finest houses in the City of Dublin with great amenities nearby.
Took a long time to sell because it was overpriced. In 2016 was asking €7.5M. , then the price dropped to €6.95M.

Thorndale, a somewhat smaller house in first-rate condition nearby sold last year for €5.6M. so this price seems about right.
On the other hand, who paid €5 M.for this on Oakley Road when they could have had a trophy like High Cross?
You’re 100% right on that Oakley Rd property - stupid money - it’s beside a pocket of roughness in Ranelagh…

Pocket of roughness in Ranelagh? Assuming you mean the housing estate on/off Oxford road, it is by no means a rough estate.
Just came home from my evening walk right by there, walked by Thorndale, (what else is there to do these days?) I have not once witnessed any antisocial behavior in the area.
See below - I lived in the area for years and can back this story up. For this kind of money, you could live in a trophy house on a trophy road.

Yikes, very interesting! This does ring a bell now, I seem to remember something about planning for this halfway house, can’t remember if it was denied or what.
You are the about there being a council estate right beside Oxford road - I lived right around there for a while - never had any issues with the people living there. Mostly older people as I recall.
