Thu 01 Jan 2008French ambassador's house for sale - at asking price
€60m
You have to admire the style of the French. The property boom is well and truly over and, voila!, they put their embassy residence on the market - for a staggering €60 million.
The 11-bedroom mansion on Ailesbury Road in Ballsbridge will be the most expensive home ever sold in Ireland if it achieves the price suggested by sale agents Lisney. It is also one of the largest, at over 11,000sq ft - 10 times bigger than the average three-bed semi - with a garden of 1.75 acres.
