Its distinct, curved structure and incredible location make it a unique home.

Once a detached bungalow, this incredible home was redesigned by McCullough Mulvin Architects. A singular arch curved metal frame was placed over the existing ground floor structure, creating a spectacular living space on the first floor, while its exterior is clad in cedar. This first floor makes the most of the home’s incredible views over North Burrow and Claremont beaches. 

As you enter the home, a staircase leads you up to the first floor, where the living, kitchen and dining areas are. This generously sized space is accentuated by the gently curving ceiling, as well as large, dual aspect windows. The room has distinct zones, whilst feeling open and spacious, and glass doors lead to a long balcony with sea views. This space has a maple floor, underfloor heating, and a cast iron stove.

The home’s five bedrooms are on the ground floor, as well as a bathroom, shower room and utility room.

Outside, the 0.75 acres of garden are a real feature of this home. A man made pond sits to the front, surrounded by an array of plants including silver birch, tree ferns, palm trees, Japanese cherries and water lilies.

To the back there is a large lawn area, with a pebbled pathway leading to the beach, and there are also several seating areas and patios. There are also a number of sheds and polytunnels. 

As well as its access to the beach, this home is also just 15 minutes’ walk to Howth village, and its many shops and restaurants. This home is for sale for €2,750,000 through Sherry FitzGerald, click through our gallery to see more.
