A unique, charming, modernist style residence set on a 2.08 Acre site of established gardens adjacent to and with mooring onto Lough Corrib. The residence which was built circa 1970 was designed by Dan O'Neill Flanagan Architect who had been commissioned by an east coast based business family. He created an impressive modernist home constructed of glass, steel and reinforced concrete that is as stricking today as the day it was built. The residence is entered on the ground floor with entrance hall, guest wc, utility room and stairwell to first floor. The main accommodation is on the first floor and in the modernist style the main building frame protects the inset glass wall structure that overlook the grounds and gardens.
