FOUR YEARS AGO, two 1970s semis to the rear of Ballinclea Heights in Killiney in Co Dublin were knocked to make way for Druidswood, a development of two dazzling white ultra-contemporary flat-roofed houses .
The developer lives in one and put the other one on the market in April 2008 for €1.125 million. When it failed to sell, he took it off the market and rented it but has decided to try his luck again and is asking €595,000 through Lisney.
One of the features of the property is the vast amount of glass, which makes it feel light, airy and spacious inside. The main reception room is a big, bright 149sq m (1,600sq ft), dual-aspect sitting-cum-dining room with double folding doors to a rear deck.
The kitchen is as you’d expect – sleek, modern and mimimalist with plenty of cream fitted units and a porcelain tiled floor. There’s also a utility room and a wheelchair-accessible toilet.
Upstairs there are four double bedrooms. The main bedroom is en suite with a step-in power shower and underfloor heating. All of the bedrooms have sliderobes and main bathroom comes with a bath with power shower and underfloor heating
To the front, rear and sides there’s a good-sized garden, laid in lawn surrounded by shubbery, and with a barna shed. On the landing there’s a hatch to the roof that has panoramic views of Dublin Bay and the city.
