THE LUCKY BUYER of No. 15 Carnew St will not only own a charming two-bedroom terraced home in one of Dublin’s most sought-after city centre locations, but they’ll also be purchasing the ultimate piece of Spice Girls memorabilia.

Back in 1998, Sporty, Ginger, Scary, Baby and Posh filmed their video for Stop in the heart of Dublin’s inner city, closing off Stoneybatter’s Carnew St for a day.

Close to two decades on, one of the homes that featured in the now-iconic music video is up for sale. While no trace of nineties pop history remains inside the house, you can always turn to YouTube if you’re feeling nostalgic.

The original brick facade remains, but No. 15′s interior has been extensively renovated and modernised, with plenty of contemporary design features.

Downstairs, the bright entrance hall leads into a large open plan oak-floored living room and dining room, with access to an external plant-filled courtyard area. The fully fitted Kube kitchen features polished porcelain tiles, a double-drainer sink and skylight windows for added natural light.

The main family bathroom is also on ground level, with two double bedrooms and an additional WC upstairs. Both bedrooms include feature fireplaces, recessed lighting and engineered oak flooring.

As part of the modernisation process, the property was insulated and draught-sealed, with a solar hot water system added, giving the property a B2 energy rating.

Stoneybatter is just a ten-minute walk from the centre of Dublin city and has plenty of public transport links, which will only be improved by December 2017′s Luas extension. Local amenities include shops, cafés, bars, a newly-opened Lidl supermarket and much more.

15 Carnew St, Stoneybatter, Dublin 7 is on sale for €425,000 with DNG via Daft.ie. Viewing is by appointment.
