How Much Does It Cost to Live Across the Street from Bono?
DUBLIN – Me and the missus rented a car to tool about the city and Irish countryside for a Sunday afternoon. Being the musical tourist/voyeur that I am, I insisted we try to find Bono’s house. And we did.
He didn’t answer the door when I knocked. Strange.
Looking across the street, I saw that his neighbour had put his house up for sale.
This got me me thinking: how much does it cost to live across the street from Bono in Dublin’s most posh enclave?
I assigned U2 expert Larry Lootsteen to investigate and after much digging, he found the listing. The answer seems to be 1,650,000 euros or about $2.4 million CAD. A bargain or a fortune? Guess it all depends on the neighhours…
Alan,
In that neighborhood also lies Edges pink house, Enya’s castle and for at least one time I was there, the Canadian Embassy which house the Canadian Ambassador to Ireland. Most tourists (Italian and Spanish) get a glimpse of yer mans house from the DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit)
Elisnore is also an estate where Achtung Baby was recorded that is in that hood. The former Canadian embassy house might have also been a recording location for SOI.
