Its impeccable standard of finish, ambient lighting and strategically placed glass permits views of the sea from the most removed rooms of the house and light to permeate to the lowest point of the home. The attention to detail and use of materials creates an incredible aesthetic and an internal environment that changes with the seasons. So from watching the storms roll in down the coastline or basking in the mid-summer sun, living has never looked this good.
Absolute privacy, lavish use of floor to ceiling glass, elevated living and unobstructed views over the bay is a daily indulgence. Internally the house is characterised by its minimalist grandeur with extraordinarily high ceilings and soaring 12.5m internal voids. From top to bottom, this incredible four storey residence spans 14.5m.
Set upon 946sqm of beachfront land with 21.6m beach frontage and 17.5m street frontage, this home offers a timeless style with no comparison. This home also harbours inherent value in its location and land content. Although a crime to detract from this home in anyway, there is genuine redevelopment potential allowing you to enjoy the lifestyle now, knowing that it will pay dividends down the track.
The internal foyer is positioned at the centre of the facade, granting access to various parts of the home with an internal lift accessing three levels. A simple internal staircase leads up to the inner sanctum, greeting you with an astonishing view. Huge sliding doors merge interior and exterior areas creating beautiful living spaces from quiet nights in, around the double sided fireplace to entertaining on a grand scale.
From the beach, the facade is dominated by cantilevered balconies, endless glass and a reverse pyramidal staircase leading to a large landing with a prime vantage. Beneath the terrace is a 12.5m indoor pool that opens itself onto a private outdoor area hidden from view and perfect for relaxing with loved ones.
On the third level, the master bedroom occupies a private wing opposite the three remaining bedrooms and has a separate bathroom and walk through robe with designated areas for art display. Logical positioning and offsetting of the balcony means every day you wake to the sight of the ocean. It s obvious that the house has seen no compromise. Views and natural light are pivotal in the design, ensuring every part of this home offers exceptional features. Key tones in the built form are an abundant use of concrete floors, exposed render, polished besser brick and varnished timber, balanced by its deep blue backdrop.
Finally, a crow s nest lookout on the top floor accessed via an elevated bridge offers show stopping vistas. This could also be used for entertaining or as a rooftop garden.
The current owners of Cois Fhairraige have decided that after nine months restoring every piece of this amazing residence back to as new condition, it's time to sell.
