Description
Sherry FitzGerald are proud to present this wonderful A3 rated, architect designed, detached home on the Hill of Howth affording fantastic views towards Howth Harbour, Ireland's Eye and Lambay Island. Built to an exacting standard in 2013, this unique home has many great features and was thoughtfully designed to compliment its elevated site on Balkill Road making the most of every area both inside and outside. With an air to water heat pump, a heat recovery ventilation system and solar thermal panels all contributing to its A3 energy rating. The various outdoor areas take advantage of the beautiful and ever changing views where you can enjoy outdoor living around the barbeque or relaxing on the raised very private and sunny garden to the rear.
Accommodation is spread over three levels. On entering up steps through the structurally bonded front door with integrated blinds you come to the welcoming hallway with tall ceiling and velux window. From here you can access all levels but to the left is the large living/dining area with 3.6m high vaulted ceiling which affords lovely views through the corner full length windows and bi-fold glass doors. The kitchen is to the rear of this area with its own set of ceiling windows and a large kitchen island and bar counter. From this open plan living space is a double bedroom which has access out to the rear bbq area and up to the raised garden behind. Back to the hall way there are steps from here up to the first floor where there is the main bedroom and ensuite with balcony facing out to the Islands and there is also a utility room at this level. Back down again to the lower ground floor level, there is an office, and two further double bedrooms, one of these also has an ensuite and there is the family bathroom at this level.
Outside the front door, there is a pedestrian gate in addition to the remote controlled sliding wooden gate for off-street car parking in the front graveled garden. There is a side lawned garden with granite pathway leading up to the back garden where there is a granite paved barbeque area and large concrete built storage shed. From here there are steps up to the raised garden above where there is both privacy and beautiful scenic views to enjoy over the bay below. This home is very unique and needs to be viewed to appreciate all its wonderful features including it's space, light and loads of storage cleverly incorporated into its amazing design.
With Howth Village and Howth Summit within walking distance, the house is ideally situated on a desirable plot on Balkill Road which overlooks the sea and has stunning views of Ireland's Eye, Lambay Island and on a good day as far as the Mourne Mountains.
