Sherry FitzGerald chief’s own €3.75m Victorian house goes for 10% under asking

An article discusses the sale of a historic south Dublin property formerly owned by former Taoiseach Garret FitzGerald. The house, located at 30 Palmerston Road in Rathmines, was listed for €3.75 million but sold for €3.35 million, over 10% below the asking price. The property, now owned by Mark FitzGerald, co-founder of Sherry FitzGerald, Ireland's largest estate agency, retained its Victorian charm and modern amenities. Despite its prime location and historical significance, the sale price suggests challenges in the luxury housing market. The article contrasts this with the typical performance of Dublin's housing market, where 84% of homes sell at or above asking price. The piece also briefly mentions U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan's planned visit to Ireland for leisure activities.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced account of the property sale, focusing on market dynamics rather than taking a clear ideological stance.
