As far homes in coastal towns go, Karroc must be one of the most eye-catching. In fact, this whole Myra Manor development, which was built in the mid-2000s, is sure to garner lots of attention from passers-by.

Sitting behind electric gates and presented in complete walk-in condition, number 14 is now on the market for €1,995,000.

Spread over 481 m² this whopper of a five-bedder nods to the grandeur of a period property with the great advantage being that, apart from the next owner’s design choices, no upgrades are necessary. The property benefits from a BER of B2, so it’s guaranteed to be comfortable even in the largest spaces.

The curved staircase that greets you in the hallway sets the tone for the rest of this huge house. Bespoke and made in walnut it dominates the space leading the eye to the back of the house as well as upward.

Each level of this three storey home is packed with high-end additions, from the new designer fitted kitchen with its marble countertops on the ground floor to the gym and games room on the top.

From the hall, double doors lead to the formal lounge and dining room. There’s also another family room to front – a space with panelled panes that let the light pour in. The high ceilings and sash windows further prove that this modern house takes inspiration from classic architecture.

The kitchen is filled with integrated appliances by brands such as Neff, Smeg and Samsung while a utility room off this kitchen keeps house chores separate and streamlined.

All of the bedrooms live upstairs with the main suite including a dressing room and its own bathroom, of course. The bedrooms have great views over Malahide village and Howth Peninsula.

There’s lots of extra potential on the top floor – for now, it’s home to a games room and a gym along with plenty of storage and a boiler room.

The house sits on about .3 of an acre that has enough space for up to five cars in the driveway and plenty of green space and sun to the back, seeing as it faces west. 

Number 14 is just a short stroll from everything the seaside village of Malahide has to offer, from shops restaurants and beaches to ample transport links if you fancy leaving the car at home more often than not. 

Karroc, 14 Myra Manor, Malahide, Co Dublin is on the market for €1,995,000 through Noel Kelly Auctioneers.
