Description
Seaview, as its name suggests, is a spectacular coastal residence enjoying exquisite views across Sandycove Green, Scotsman's Bay and stretching as far as Howth. This handsome, bay fronted period property has been carefully renovated to retain its original charm while seamlessly accommodating the requirements of modern-day living.
The interiors are bright and airy, with impressive 11'ft ceiling heights and an exceptional floor area of approximately 372 sq m / 4,004 sq ft (excluding two large terraces on the top floor) arranged over three levels. From the principal accommodation on each floor, the views are simply breathtaking. Whether on a crisp winter's day, enjoying the ever-changing seascape from the comfort of the reception rooms or main bedroom, or on a summer's day when the bay is alive with pleasure boats, the outlook provides a constantly captivating backdrop one which never fails to disappoint.
Designed with low maintenance in mind, the landscaped rear garden enjoys a most sought after, sunny south-west aspect, creating a peaceful haven for outdoor living and equipped with an outside kitchen, it is the perfect spot for Al Fresco' entertainment. The addition of a garden room ensures year-round enjoyment of this inviting outdoor space.
Upon entering Seaview, one is immediately struck by the impressive ceiling heights; however, it is on entering the living room that the full impact of the property is revealed. Two deep bay windows frame a stunning coastal vista overlooking Sandycove Green and stretching across Scotsman's Bay. This elegant formal reception room flows seamlessly into the dining room, creating an ideal setting for entertaining on a grand scale.
Off the entrance hall is a generously proportioned guest WC, while to the rear of the property lies the kitchen/breakfast room. This bright and inviting space features patio doors and a large picture window, allowing natural light to flood the room and brings the outdoors in. The kitchen is fitted with modern white units, complemented by black granite worktops and integrated appliances, and is further enhanced by a practical utility area located just off the kitchen.
Ascending to the impressive first-floor landing, striking 8.7 ft-high double-glazed doors open into the drawing room, which spans the full width of the property. This room is truly breathtaking, with two deep bay windows offering panoramic sea views across to Howth Head. Also located on the first floor is a luxuriously appointed shower room, beyond which lies the first of the four double bedrooms. The second bedroom on this floor benefits from an ensuite shower room and features a stylish mezzanine level, providing an ideal study or chill-out space for teenagers.
On the second floor, the principal bedroom occupies the front of the property and features wall-to-wall glazing that captures the spectacular coastal views. Sliding doors open onto a large, decked terrace, providing a perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the ever-changing seascape. The principal bedroom also benefits from an ensuite bathroom. To the rear of the 2nd floor is a wardrobe area leading into the fourth bedroom, which enjoys access to another substantial decked terrace with a desirable south-west orientation. This bedroom is further complemented by an ensuite shower room.
Pedestrian access leads into the front garden, while to the rear lies a low-maintenance landscaped garden featuring raised beds planted with mature 35-year-old Olive trees. A designated seating area with a gas fireplace provides the perfect setting in which to enjoy the glorious south-west orientation, while a bespoke outdoor kitchen area makes 'Al fresco' entertaining effortless. A glazed garden room is a valuable additional living space and is the ideal setting to enjoy the garden and outdoor surroundings throughout the year.
