This €775k Portmarnock four-bed has a private swimming pool inside
Squeeze in a workout whenever you like.
FOR MANY, THE idea of having a private pool in one’s house is the ultimate symbol of luxury.
What was once reserved for large family homes in the United States and luxury residences across Europe is now becoming a little more commonplace in Ireland, as this Portmarnock home proves.
Spanning 2,400 sq ft, the four-bed property is on the market for €775,000, with three reception rooms and Crema Marfil marble flooring throughout.
Inside, the spacious living room features a marble wall with an integrated gas fire, a bay window and surround sound speakers.
The open-plan kitchen and dining area is accessed from here through double doors. The high gloss kitchen is fully fitted with Bosch appliances and quartz countertops, while a large bay window fills the room with light.
Double doors lead from the dining area to the sun room, which overlooks the pool area. Jets in the pool add further luxury, while Velux windows and glass sliding doors maximise the use of natural light. A guest bathroom, utility room and expansive family room complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom and a family bathroom which boasts a tiled TV and jacuzzi bath.
In the master bedroom, there is a built-in Crema Marfil marble base for a double bed – no dodgy box beds here. The fourth bedroom is currently being used as a spacious walk-in wardrobe.
There’s parking for two cars to the front of the property, while decking in the back private garden makes dining al-fresco a breeze.
Portmarnock village is just a short walk from the property, which is situated in the private estate of Drumnigh Wood. Travelling to the city centre is made easy thanks to the nearby DART station, which is just a 15 minute walk away.
If you fancy heading for a stroll along the coast, the drive to Portmarnock Beach will take just five minutes. For fitness enthusiasts, there are multiple sports facilities in the area, although having your own private pool means you can squeeze in a workout whenever you like.
