Sherry FitzGerald are delighted to present Cooleen to the market – a distinguished semi-detached property spanning approximately 176 sq. m / 1,894 sq. ft. Currently configured as two self-contained apartments with a total of four bedrooms, Cooleen offers an exceptional seafront location in Sandycove. Just steps from the ocean, the property boasts panoramic sea views that stretch across Scotsman’s Bay, from the James Joyce Tower at Sandycove to the Dun Laoghaire Pier, extending out to Howth Head and beyond. Additional features include off-street parking and a sunny, south-facing garden.

The house is set over two floors, each featuring a bay window. The ground floor apartment comprises a formal living room, two bedrooms (one ensuite), a kitchen and dining room, and a family bathroom. The first-floor apartment includes a landing, two bedrooms, a kitchen and dining room, a living room with exceptional views, a bathroom, and an outside terrace area. With minor modifications, Cooleen can be easily reconfigured into a five-bedroom family home.

1) Demolition of existing single storey ground floor flat roof extension to the rear and construct new new enlarged single storey ground floor flat roof extension to the rear and dig out area to the side of the extension to provide a level patio area.
2) Widen existing ground floor bay window to front of flat 1 and provide new copper clad roof over new bay and extend to form canopy over front door.
3) Remove existing lean to and flat roofs to existing side passage and replace with new copper roof with clerestory windows to the front and flat roof to the rear.
4) Construct new copper clad bay window to bedroom to flat 2 to side of property.
5) Construct new stained timber bin store in front garden for apartment 2 together with new stained timber gate to private lane to side of house.
6) Amend the drain layout and provide new connection to existing private sewer in private lane.
7) Internal modifications and all associated site works.

Cooleen’s prime location offers a short walk to Glasthule, Sandycove, and Dalkey villages, providing access to a selection of boutiques, restaurants, and gourmet shops, including the renowned Cavistons Food Emporium. Sea swimmers will appreciate the proximity to Sandycove beach and the Forty Foot bathing area, only 450 meters away. The coastal walk and cycle path from Sandycove to Blackrock runs directly in front of the property.
