Dublin's most expensive property on the rental market right now is up for grabs for an eye-watering €20,000 per month.
The five-bed house is located on the corner of Raglan Road in Ballsbridge and is a fully-restored Victorian residence. The property features five gold marble-fitted bathrooms, remote-controlled rooflights and an internal vacuum system.
The unfurnished D4 house, being rented through REA Halnon McKenna, is located right in the heart of Dublin's embassy belt.

The entire building was completely gutted, with internal floors, walls, windows and roofs removed, leading to what has been described as a "rare Victorian energy-efficient home" thanks to new insulation, double glazed windows and underfloor heating, which has negated the need for any radiators.
"The house has also been wired for phone, audio, TV and security system, and there's an interior vacuum system, eliminating the hassle of dragging a Hoover around the house," the ad on property website Daft.ie reads.
It details that the bathroom was all neatly laid out in marvellous marble, fitted by a team of Italian craftspeople.
"In an impressive feat of craftsmanship, all the marble slabs have been near-perfectly bookmatched, with incredible results. The handmade cabinetry in the bathrooms was built by John Daly, and he took up the Italian challenge by bookmatching the grain on the timber," revealed auctioneers REA Halnon McKenna.
On entering the home, you will be greeted by teak flooring and a large drawing room and dining room that lead out to a sunroom/winter garden overlooking the back of the property, with folding doors that can be opened out to create a terrace, and roof lights fitted with rain sensors.
At the rear of the property, you will find a completely and meticulously landscaped west-facing garden with cut granite walls and mature planting and hedging. An underground rainwater harvesting system is also to be found, which pumps grey water, irrigating the garden.
The first floor is comprised of a dual-aspect main bedroom with magnificent sliding sash picture windows "commanding a view over Raglan and Elgin roads", the former of which was the setting of the famous Patrick Kavanagh poem and later Luke Kelly and The Dubliner's folk song.
The ad concludes: "Outside there's off-street parking for two (large) cars, accessed through electric sliding gates to the side. There's also a handy side entrance for convenient access in and out."
