Eye-catching architecture in wonderful Wicklow for €1,050,000
The striking facade of this house in Greystones is sure to catch the eye.
SPREAD OVER 190 M², Leo House is as interesting in the inside as it looks on the outside. Designed by the architect Gareth Maguire, it’s clear from the get-go that this house near the Wicklow village of Greystones has creative flair in spades.
The garden, which is partly laid in gravel, is home to an abundance of plants, trees and shrubs including roses and olive trees. A granite wall encloses the space that also includes steps that lead to a rose garden home to a fountain and seating area. The patio gets most of the sunshine in the evening seeing as the garden faces west.
A recent renovation makes sure that this house is filled with natural light – this is largely due to the picture windows on each floor. As for finished, the upstairs is laid in gorgeous solid wood parquet flooring while the ground floor is elegantly finished in polished concrete .
From the dark blue walls to the rich wooden door frames and use of glass, Leo House has great flow from one room to the next. The hallway with its double height window overlooks the pretty garden. The hall links to the open plan kitchen that incorporates a living room and dining area. There’s also a big pantry and a handy utility room just off the kitchen. To add even more luxury, there’s a feature glass panelled wine cellar that picks up the natural light from the picture windows.
From this open plan space, a large glass door leads to a beautiful reading room and study ideal for working from home or just taking some time out. There is also another living area with double doors to the patio.
Every bedroom in this home has an en suite bathroom and each bedroom is a double. Bright and spacious two look over the back garden while the third and smallest looks over the front. These bedrooms benefit from double height vaulted ceilings.
Mill Road links Greystones to Delgany, two bustling villages that enjoy great sea views, a friendly and welcoming community and everything needed for everyday family life.
This is an opportunity to live in an area that‘a as varied and interesting as the design of Leo House itself.
