House hunting can prove a difficult task, finding the perfect location at times can seem impossible, so when you see you the words ‘stunning PENTHOUSE apartment’ in the property description you are sure that you’re on to winner… except when that penthouse is situated over a funeral home of course.
This advert published on property site daft.ie this morning read like a dream and with a little research quickly became a nightmare.
Located in the beautiful Portmanock area of Dublin the two double-bed PENTHOUSE (they used Cap Locks for dramatic effect) is fully equipped with all the mod-cons, parking facilities and it even has it’s own garden area… too good to be true, surely?
Well if you’re not easily freaked then housing above Staffords Funeral Home shouldn’t be a problem for you.

Plenty of parking space for your regular sized motor...
Parking up next to a hearse may not seem all that bad initially, but when those floorboards start to creak or you hear an unexplained noise from the room downstairs you may think a little differently.
On the plus side at least you’ll have no noise complaints or late night parties next door to worry about, it always reassuring to know before moving in that all the neighbours be dead on…
