LOCATED JUST A FEW DOORS from the gates of the Phoenix Park, this six-bedroom home, aptly named Nirvana, has everything its new owners could require.

There is a 15-metre swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a sauna, a bar, a billiard room, a cinema, a bar and even an outdoor hot tub within its 0.36 acre grounds.

The 8,000 square foot home is surrounded by a moat and was built in 2001 by former FAI Chief Executive and founder of Baltimore Technologies, Fran Rooney and his wife. They are now selling the house.

It’s on sale for €2.93 million from Sherry FitzGerald via Daft.ie.

One of the most unique features of the home is a sweeping marble staircase made with Irish craft ironmongery that is modelled on staircases within the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai. The steps are covered by eye-catching handmade carpets made by V’Soske Joyce.

The room also features a 15-metre mural by Janet Shearer that depicts Tír na nÓg, and a six-seater jacuzzi overlooking the garden.
