“Fionnradharc” started out life as a simple post office. Both street level garages were probably the depot for daily postal operations. A one bed-roomed flat for staff was located above the garages with access available via a side entrance, while the postal offices were accessed at the opposite end of the property. This might explain the higgledy piggledy nature of the interior, which is certainly part of the charm of this very special home.O ...

“Fionnradharc” started out life as a simple post office. Both street level garages were probably the depot for daily postal operations. A one bed-roomed flat for staff was located above the garages with access available via a side entrance, while the postal offices were accessed at the opposite end of the property. This might explain the higgledy piggledy nature of the interior, which is certainly part of the charm of this very special home. On arrival, one can’t help but marvel at the glorious view of Dublin Bay from here. It is certainly up there with the best being truly spectacular and it does take your breath away. Three properties sold recently beside here for a combined €17,000,000 proof or at least testament to the value of this particular view. Reflecting its sought after Howth location, the building has been built as if an eyrie, to take advantage of its hillside position, which enjoys southerly views over Dublin Bay from most of its six principle rooms, as well as all parts of its garden. Its asking price is €995,000 and with a little clever adjustment of the interior, the existing c1,730 sq ft could be tweaked to become the perfect hilltop home with the most amazing southerly Dublin Bay views. Tyler Owens Architects have kindly drafted some optional floor plans which highlight the obvious potential to enhance the layout. These plans are attached for convenience and Tyler Owens would welcome further enquiries from interested parties. At night, the views are equally spectacular as the city’s lights twinkle in the distance and dance on the waves of the bay below. Interested parties are encouraged to consider a repeat viewing after dusk, as this reveals a whole new experience and an important feature of this home. For walkers, this is close to paradise. All of the scenic Howth trails are easily accessed from here and the local “Summit” shop and “Inn” offer convenience to light groceries and decent pub grub with a welcoming homely atmosphere. The area is popular with tourists walking by, so pleasant and interesting conversation is never far away. The local 31B passes by regularly and will deliver you to Sutton Cross or Howth village where both Dart stations connect you to the rest of the city. A choice of excellent shopping is nearby as are a host of popular gourmet restaurants and every other amenity one could wish to find in a seaside village. The accommodation is presented in excellent condition and the C2 energy rating ensures comfortable living within this home. The front porch leads through to the dining conservatory with its arched ceiling, sea views and red-brick-finished walls. Double doors open into the contemporary-style kitchen/breakfast room with Corian marble worktops that is flooded with natural sunlight thanks to a large Velux skylight. Just off this space is the living room, which is fitted with wooden flooring and a Stanley solid-fuel range. The room makes the most of its aspect with two large picture windows with views of the bay and a south-facing balcony. There are wooden floors in all three double bedrooms - one of which has a large ensuite bathroom, and there's another shower room to serve the remaining bedrooms. There is ample storage provided and a plumbed utility area with a side door to outside for convenience. As outlined above, the 3 bedrooms would benefit from a re-design to optimise their space and improve the aesthetic flow of the interior, so perhaps this is where its fortunate new owner can put their creative stamp on their new home. But make no mistake, “Fionnradharc” represents a unique opportunity to create a stunning home in wonderful location on the southern side of the Howth peninsula. Viewing is imperative and can be arranged through Gallagher Quigley at 01-8183000.
