The property is approached via secure electric gate accessed from Ballygihen Avenue which opens into a large driveway providing ample off-street parking. Internally the accommodation extends to approximately 206sq.m (2,217sq. ft) and briefly comprises at ground floor level of a hall with a guest w.c. and a large cloakroom off it. This opens through to a gracious reception hall with solid oak chevron floor with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor level. To the front of the house there is a fantastic interconnecting sitting room/dining room offering stunning sea views, with access from the sitting room out to a large terrace which is a fabulous space for entertaining. The dining room opens through to a beautiful bespoke kitchen with a marble countertop and top of the range integrated Miele appliances. To the rear there is a utility with Miele dryer and washing machine and a light filled south facing breakfast room with a vaulted ceiling with a bespoke seating bench with hidden storage below. A family room completes the accommodation at this level, with a cosy Gazco contemporary log effect fire. Moving upstairs to the first floor there is a large window on the stairwell that floods the space with natural light and here you will find four bedrooms which are generously proportioned. Two are en suite and the master bedroom is a stunning room with a luxurious en suite, his & hers sink, marble tiling and a family bathroom completes the internal accommodation.
The outdoor space in Fastnet is one of the biggest features of this beautiful coastal property, there is a large terrace of approximately 5.6m x 8.1m accessible from the sitting room which is the perfect spot for al fresco dining and entertaining in the summertime, it benefits from westerly sunshine in the afternoon. Steps lead down from the terrace to a large lawn, measuring approximately 26m in length by 21m wide and there are spectacular views from the terrace and garden.
Fastnet was renovated to the highest specification in 2018, the house was completely rewired with a new alarm and security system installed. It was replumbed and a new gas boiler was installed with underfloor heating at the ground floor level. The original sliding sash windows were reconditioned throughout, and the walls were dry lined, and the attic was insulated.
Sandycove is one of the most scenic locations in South County Dublin with an abundance of natural beauty on its doorstep. There are many other buildings of architectural interest to include the James Joyce Tower and Geragh, the iconic Michael Scott home built in 1937. Sandycove and Glasthule villages offer a huge array of services and shops to include Cavistons, 64 Wine, Hatch Coffee and The Punnet together with many excellent restaurants and pubs including Fitzgerald's. Sandycove and the surrounding coastline is an area of great natural beauty with many scenic walks and swimming spots including the Forty Foot on your doorstep. There is an excellent selection of public transport links to include the DART, a bus route and the Aircoach, providing a direct link with Dublin Airport. This area is very popular with families, artists, musicians, and writers because of everything it offers.
