If you've ever fantasised about owning a dream home in the Wicklow Mountains, now is your chance - a stunning, ultra-modern detached house has gone on the market, and it's to die for.
The house is in Athdown in the gorgeous Manor Kilbride area, just three-quarters of an hour from the city centre or 20 minutes from the M50, and close to the picturesque Blessington Lakes.
Not only that, the views from this countryside idyll sweep all the way down to the lakes, taking in rolling hills, mountains and forests along the way - imagine waking up to that view every morning!
The scenery sells it on its own, but the house itself is just as impressive - a thoroughly modern take on a cluster of traditional farm buildings, built by its architect owner in 2008.
A glass entrance hallway makes a statement from the beginning, while inside the house is bright and airy: full of clean lines, state-of-the-art materials and plenty more glass.
The main living area with its roaring fire and - of course - amazing views is connected by a set of steps to an incredible, fully-fitted designer kitchen.
There are four bedrooms - one en suite - as well as a family bathroom, a shower room and a downstairs toilet. There's even a large walk-in dressing room adjacent to the main bathroom.
Just outside the kitchen and the master bedroom, there are areas of decking where you can relax with a coffee and take in the views.
An outhouse contains the boiler, a workbench and space for storage - and it's all set in 1.75 acres of land.
The house is being sold by Sherry Fitzgerald in Tallaght, with an asking price of €640,000.
