Live music filmmaker Emer Patten enlisted the help of a home stager after her sale in Drumcondra fell through. Patten, who has worked with a host of global superstars, including Dave Grohl and Mariah Carey, is known for her discretion when it comes to naming names. However, she is quick to praise the talent of these artists. Despite her success, Patten remains humble, understanding that her work requires ongoing collaboration with industry stars. After the Covid-19 pandemic brought live music events to a halt, Patten decided to return to her hometown of Dublin and purchased a period home on Arran Road in Drumcondra. She describes her time in Dublin as wonderful, enjoying the opportunity to spend time with family and engage with a warm and friendly community. Patten’s interest in design led her to remodel and decorate her new home, a venture she thoroughly enjoyed. However, as the music industry began to resume its normal operations, Patten realized that Dublin was not the most practical location for her career. With reservations about renting out her beloved home, she decided to put it on the market instead. Unfortunately, the sale fell through at the last minute due to increased interest rates and conveyancing delays in the Irish property market. Devastated by the unexpected turn of events, Patten withdrew the house from the market, feeling guilty about the circumstances surrounding the failed sale. She was dismayed to see her once beautifully furnished home completely empty, a stark contrast to its former state. Patten thought potential buyers would struggle to visualize the full potential of the rooms in their empty state. Seeking a solution, Patten enlisted the services of professional home stager Vanya McCarthy. McCarthy impressed Patten with her ability to enhance the unique features of each room while maintaining a neutral aesthetic. The staging process was so successful that Patten reconsidered her decision to move out. With the staging complete, the property is now back on the market for the second time in a year. The house on Arran Road has a rich history, previously serving as a home for the Sisters of The Holy Family of Bordeaux. It was then sold to a couple who renovated and extended it before Patten purchased it. The property boasts a Victorian-style hallway with tiled floors leading to a front reception room with a bay window offering ample natural light. The original features, such as the traditional floorboards, coving, and ceiling rose, add character to the space. The house also features a second reception room, a modern kitchen with a breakfast bar, a dining room with a glass wall and sliding doors to the garden, a utility room, and a guest bathroom. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a stylishly redesigned bathroom. Patten, who has four major projects lined up, is now working closely with her agent, DNG, to attract potential buyers with a listing price of €895,000.
