DESCRIPTION 

Finnegan Menton take great pride in presenting “Windgate” to the market - a superb Art Deco style residence on a magnificent elevated site with immediately arresting panoramic views of Dublin Bay.

Originally constructed in c. 1935, this semi-detached home is one of the best examples of the Art Deco style in Ireland, with the site carefully selected for its south facing views. From atop its elevated site on the peninsula of Howth Head and below the Ben of Howth, “Windgate” commands an extraordinary 180° panorama over the shimmering Irish Sea - a breathtaking vista that sweeps gracefully from the historic Baily Lighthouse across the elegant contours of Dún Laoghaire and Dalkey, all set against a majestic mountain backdrop, and a tranquil city skyline.

Internally, the accommodation of approx. 308 sq.m. has been cleverly configured and elegantly proportioned to maximise the benefit of the aspect, with most rooms being flooded with natural light and enjoying spectacular views of the sea, ensuring that a tranquil atmosphere pervades throughout this airy and welcoming home. Accommodation comprises 5 bedrooms (with three en suite), 5 baths (incl. en suites), open plan kitchen/dining room, two office/studies, two reception rooms, reading gallery and guest kitchen/breakfast room. In addition, a large timber deck off the kitchen / dining area which is elevated above the gardens, provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and relaxing where the scenic landscape and expansive horizon can truly be appreciated.
