You feel that it'd discourage ghosts? It looks like some primo haunting material to me.

I have to admit that this is the first time I've noticed that the tilted design is seemingly intentional and not just the door being extremely badly constructed/broken. Neat!

Yup! Somebody had to hand-build a custom door to make that work.

I don't know why, but I somehow feel sure it's on that street in Dublin, kind of near East Wall where there's a sign saying "watch out, there are visually-impaired drivers around here"

Its just got that vibe.

Posted here if you're lazy:

Well, a little run-down on the outside. But not terrible.

Kitchen looks remodeled several years ago, maybe a tad outdated with the oak cabinets.

Oooh, yeah, bad wallpaper in the dining room. That's it, right?

Oh, no, it's the weird diagonal window?

Nope.

Witch windows are quite common in parts of the US, they usually are sandwiched between a gable end and a slanted roof immediately below it.

Or "are you basically the person they are looking for on some episodes of Law & Order?" I've watched too many home shows on HGTV, does the floor plan call it a "bonus room?" lol

Realtor: "Well, I've managed to find a house in your area with a creepy attached jail, and I know this was on your must-have list, but let me show you a couple more. I know, they don't have that feature, but I think they might be a little more in your price range. One has a basement that you could easily convert and still come in under budget, and the other is within walking distance to a cemetery, which I thought you might enjoy!"

5 day verses 7 day accommodation

I don't know if I'm just sheltered or missed something, is a rental that's only M-F a thing for students? I could maybe see it for someone with a really really lovely commute, but it seems really odd so to speak to only offer 5 days a week in my Home.

Yeah, m-f rentals are a thing for students here, since a lot got back home for the weekends. The longest commute is only going to be a few hours.
This guy is on a whole other level, even if you have an agreement for the full 7 days, he doesn't want you in the house wearing out the carpets and using up all the air.
