PICS: This Is What €4.9 Million Gets You In Rathmines

Ever wander through your favourite neighbourhood in Dublin and think to yourself: "how much would one of these gaffs actually cost?"

One such house on Cowper Road in Rathmines caught our eye recently, so we went and checked its asking price, out of a sense of sheer masochism. Sure enough, it comes with the eye-watering price tag of €4.9 million, so our hopes of ever living somewhere like this were quickly dashed.

But what does that kinda scratch actually get you, you ask? Well, you can get to live on a tree-lined street in an elegant, Victorian-era redbrick with high ceilings and period fireplaces.

The massive house has got a whopping 24 rooms, including a games room, a shower room and a bar. You also get a spacious back garden that's landscaped and bordered by mature trees.

Take a look inside the house...

One can but dream...
