Standing high above the city in the village of Stepaside, this 258 sq m (2,770 sq ft) detached house seems to have all the ingredients of a comfortable family home.

Number 1 Cairnfort is in a new development built by Liberty Homes less than two years ago. The accommodation is distributed over three floors, each room outdoing the other in the luxury stakes.

Sherry FitzGerald's Dundrum branch is quoting an asking price of region €1.15 million by private treaty for this detached property, which will be minutes via a bus link from the planned Luas stop at Sandyford Industrial Estate.

The house comes fully carpeted with solid oak floors in busy traffic areas. Off the hall are the carpeted family room and guest toilet. Across the way, interconnecting sitting and diningrooms benefit from ceiling coving and a marble fireplace at the sitting end.

Porcelain floor tiles complement the ultra-modern German-designed kitchen, which comes with a complete range of appliances. Doors open from here to a decked terrace and back garden. Upstairs, the bedrooms are a good size, two of them en suite. A wide bay window looks out on the back garden from the main bedroom. Here, a double walk-in power shower adds to the comfort factor. A second double bedroom also has an en suite. The bathroom includes a bath with shower. As befits a former showhouse, the gardens are beautifully landscaped with a fountain and rockery.
