Well... now you can as a Dublin home with a secret room that would enthrall the Dame has returned to the market with an asking price of €1.85 million.
Forty-four York Road, nestled in the heart of Dun Laoghaire, was last sold in 2021. It changed hands after four years after a couple took a "leap of faith" and purchased the property in 2017.
The couple lived in Singapore at the time of purchase in 2017 and impressively managed to renovate it into their dream home with an extension which brought it to 2,906 sq ft.
Renovated with the help of architect Emmett Duggan, the hallway opens into the library - the ultimate cozy-up with a good book space.

The library, which overlooks the front driveway, boasts its original feature fireplace and eclectic array of furniture including a vintage-feel gilded mirror.
Our favorite part of the property, however, is the bookcase that serves as a secret passage into a hidden room, currently being used as a study. We can just imagine Agatha Christie at work with pa en and pad in there!

Also on the property's ground floor is a spacious living room with statement red walls.
Though the red is deep, the room is a bright one with a large mirror and some cream-coloured furniture.

The owners didn't shy away from color, that's for sure, as when you continue through to the kitchen-come-dining area you're met with striking navy couches that complement the navy cupboards and breakfast bar.
The room is flooded with natural light from large glass doors that open out to the rear garden.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The master bedroom features wall-to-wall wardrobes which are hidden by wooden panels, a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite. Two of the other bedrooms also boast of ensuites.

In contrast to the ground floor of the property, the upstairs doesn't boast much colour and is rather refined.
The beautiful home, which boasts a rear garden that stretches to 85ft, is back on the market for €1,850,000.
