Howth: €3.1mViews across the sea to Ireland's Eye and Lambeg Island should attract viewers to 2 Carrick, a newly-built detached house on Claremont Road, Howth. Access to a sandy beach from the bottom of the garden could clinch the deal.
Sherry FitzGerald's Sutton office is quoting €3.1 million by private treaty for the four-bedroom house, which has 210sq m (2,226sq ft) of living space. Three of the bedrooms are en suite and a Jacuzzi bath stands in the centre of a Romanesque-style family bathroom.
The interior fit-out of number 2 is up to the minute. Floors are solid oak and there is gas-fired underfloor heating. Insulation is also better than average. A central vacuuming system has been installed and doors and windows are hardwood.
The ground floor includes a family-sized kitchen/breakfastroom with walnut units, granite worktops and tiled flooring. Double doors open to the L-shaped sitting/diningroom with an open fireplace, oak flooring and sea views. There is also a family sittingroom on the first floor with sliding doors to a balcony. This is also oak-floored and the marble fireplace is piped for a gas fire.
One of the four bedrooms is downstairs and its adjoining wet room is fully tiled. Three further bedrooms - two en suite - are of the first floor landing. Bedroom one also includes a walk-in wardrobe and the en suite has twin wash-hand basins.
The large semi-mature back garden is mostly in lawn, with a chalet garden shed, greenhouse and Indian sandstone terrace. Steps climb down at the end of the lawn to a quiet stretch of sandy beach.
A driveway at the front, which is set well back from the road, provides parking for several cars.
