Glen Lodge is a large six-bed in Fountainstown in Cork that’s full of luxury touches.
FROM INCREASED RELAXATION to the promotion of an active lifestyle, living near the water has proven to have a heap of advantages.
Throw in a spacious home with super sea views that’s just a short stroll from a sandy beach and anyone’s well-being is sure to improve. If this sounds like something you crave, then take a look at Glen Lodge, which is now on the market for €795,000.
This six-bed home in Fountainstown in Co. Cork spans an impressive 425 m² and would certainly suit any family with members who have the option of working remotely and want a healthy work/life balance.
Set behind electric gates, the rooms inside this home are spacious bright and all connect with wonderful flow. A living room and an open plan kitchen with a seating area and a laundry space make up the main social hub of the home. While a dining room makes for more formal meals.
The large living room faces south and has a bay window that grabs the light, while the kitchen space has a double aspect. It has plenty of storage and counter space, too, making it ideal for busy families.
The cosier lounge with its solid-fuel burning fireplace would be ideal for the winter months. There is also a study which could be used for a multitude of things, be it a home office, den or playroom.
A billiards table is certainly something you don’t find in every home. Home to a full-size billiard table and complete with accessories, it adds a unique hobby into the mix.
There’s also a large indoor swimming pool that’s well maintained. To add even more luxury, there’s a sauna and showering area, too.
The house has six bedrooms but it’s the master bedroom that steals the show. It has a fireplace, a walk-in wardrobe, and an en suite bathroom that’s in great condition and even features a jacuzzi.
This home has privacy in spades and is surrounded by a lush, landscaped garden with mature trees and hedging. There is a big garage to the side of the house that’s great for any extra storage that’s needed.
Not only is Glen Lodge a short walk away from Fountainstown Beach, but hop in the car for under ten minutes and you’ll be in the bustling Cork towns of Crosshaven and Carrigaline, which have everything a family needs day-to-day.
