Everyone knows that to land on Ailesbury Road in Monopoly, you will be forking out big money, but the same can be said if you decide to purchase a house there in reality.
For years, it has been renowned as one of the most expensive roads in Dublin 4 and just recently, someone managed to purchase the latest home to go onsale.
With the house being placed on the market for €6.9million last summer by a very well-known family, it took until Christmas before the property went Sale Agreed.
