Sea views: Dual aspects in Skerries for €1.2m

Detached four-bed house with three receptions and kitchen/breakfast area

Seacrest, making the most of its name and coastal location, has its main livingroom on the first floor, from where walls of window give sweeping views of South Strand and North Beach in Skerries. Views are the heart of Seacrest's appeal: every room has them, often with dual aspects of harbour and sea.

Thirty years old, Seacrest is one of four detached houses built at roughly the same time, all tucked away in pleasant seclusion on the coastally advantageous Red Island, from which the town centre and harbour area’s restaurants and nightlife are a short walk.

Number 1 Holmpatrick Terrace, a large period house on the seafront, sold for €1.5 million in December 2014.

Seacrest has a floor area of 192sq m (2,073sq ft), four bedrooms (one en suite), three reception rooms, a kitchen/ breakfast room and a family bathroom. DNG McKenna Healy is asking €1.2 million.
