The first floor comprises of five generous bedrooms with the master bedroom offering an en-suite bathroom, walk in wardrobe and balcony for soaking up the evening sun, and finished with a family bathroom. There is a detached garage which offers excellent versatility and could easily be adapted to suit a variety of uses such as a home office/gym, studio or additional storage space. From its very conception, the property was harmonised under the expert guidance of renowned Feng Shui Master Eddie Wong.

The residence is serviced by gas-fired central heating, with mains water and sewerage connected. Set on approximately 0.25 acres, the property enjoys private enclosed gardens, while the rear garden benefits from a directly west-facing aspect, maximising natural light and enhancing the brightness and enjoyment of the outdoor space throughout the day.

Carrigaline town centre is a short drive from the property as well as the Port of Cork and the National Maritime College of Ireland.

ACCOMMODATION

Stepping inside, the grand entrance hall immediately sets a tone of timeless elegance, wrapped in exquisite, polished marble. This dedication to premium materials flows effortlessly throughout the ground floor:

The Formal Living & Dining Suite: Bathed in natural light, these sophisticated spaces feature flawless Maple hardwood floors, laid by a master craftsman. The focal point of the sitting room is a magnificent, bespoke sandstone working fireplace—an artisanal centrepiece perfect for intimate winter evenings.

The Den also known as the living room: A masterclass in warmth and ambiance, this room boasts bespoke Australian timber flooring, intricately fitted to create an inviting, rich atmosphere.

The Heart of the Home: The kitchen and study feature custom, hand-built oak cabinetry and shelving, offering both practical utility and sophisticated design. In the kitchen, the unique corner gas hob was positioned in direct response to Master Wong’s Feng Shui recommendations, perfectly balancing the elemental energies of the home.

The Grand Staircase: Connecting the levels is a breathtaking, handcrafted solid oak staircase—a true architectural masterpiece that serves as a sculptural focal point for the home.

Sanctuaries of Rest: Designed for the Modern, Blended Family. Moving upstairs via the oak staircase, the home’s layout reveals its true genius—a thoughtful, expansive floor plan featuring five generous double bedrooms specifically designed to support fluid, multi-generational, or blended family living. The placement of these rooms offers a beautiful balance of togetherness and vital privacy.

The Master Suite: The ultimate parental retreat. The main bedroom flows effortlessly into a private dressing room and a luxurious main bathroom, both defined by dramatic, soaring vaulted ceilings that enhance the sense of airy, light-filled grandness. French doors open onto a private, sun-drenched balcony—a magnificent personal oasis and a perfect spot to lose yourself in a brilliant book, perhaps accompanied by a well-deserved glass of chilled Prosecco.

The Children’s Wings: The property offers distinct, personalized environments for children to grow and thrive. Dedicated spaces provide the twin boys with a vibrant, shared sense of camaraderie and adventure, while a separate, beautifully appointed double bedroom offers their sister her own elegant, private haven.
Intergenerational Flexibility: The remaining double bedrooms are strategically positioned to offer the ideal setup for extended family, live-in care, or long-term guests.

This intuitive zoning allows grandparents or older children to enjoy independent, quiet spaces while remaining entirely connected to the heart of the home.

Botanical Bliss & The Ultimate West-Facing Entertaining Oasis. The refinement of the interior transitions seamlessly into the outdoor spaces, designed with an absolute emphasis on lifestyle and connection. The west-facing back garden is a spectacular, sun-drenched haven, capturing the absolute best of the afternoon and evening sun.

Detached Outbuilding – 28.5 sq. m (306 sq. ft)
The property also benefits from a spacious detached outbuilding, extending to approximately 28.5 sq m (306 sq ft), with electricity and a fully floored interior. Offering excellent versatility, this space could easily be adapted to suit a variety of uses, subject to any necessary planning requirements, including a home office, gym, studio, workshop, or additional storage.

Envisioned as an outdoor living room, this brilliant sun trap is tailor-made for hosting. It is a space where good food and good friends naturally congregate—whether you are hosting lively summer barbecues or enjoying late-night, acoustic music sessions under the stars as the sun sets.

The grounds have been mindfully planted with auspicious flora chosen for their beauty and symbolic meaning: vibrant Peonies (symbolizing romance and prosperity), elegant Magnolias, Camellias, and fragrant Honeysuckle. Standing proudly among them is a rare botanical gem—a highly unusual, beautifully structured Hazelnut bush that adds a touch of unique character to this magnificent landscape.
