Series 12 Episode 6 Drumcondra

Glenn Keating and Gustav van der Westhuizen live in Grace Park, Drumcondra, with their 5-year-old son Noah and two pet Weimaraner dogs.

They live in an Edwardian terraced three story house. The terrace was originally built for officers of the British Army, between 1897 and 1902.

Glenn is a youth worker for LGBTI+ young people in the city centre and Gustav is a banker. They have rented and lived all over from South Africa (where Gustav is originally from) to Kilkenny but finally found their dream house in May 2017.

Glenn tried to spearhead works in Grace Park Gardens but came across a major stumbling block when he couldn’t tie down a builder. They have been in the property 19 months and have never unpacked.

The house comes with it’s own difficulties; previously owned by siblings the property was carved into two separate living spaces and is filled with quirky features alongside it’s original features and separate heating systems.

With a very tight budget of 150k, QS Divashni Mathura is on hand to oversee the delicate negotiations.

Gustav has big style and wants to bring light to the property with neon flamingo lights and eclectic sculptures and Glenn has dreams of polished concrete and Crittall windows.
