Description
This beautiful period style residence has been newly built and finely detailed under the direction of an architect from Toronto, Canada and an interior designer from Dublin, Ireland.
The property which sits on ca. 1 acre is entered through a stone entrance with custom made automated steel gates. The name of the house, Pleione House, is derived from the Greek goddess ‘Pleione’ of Mount Kyllene in southern Greece, the wife of the Titan Atlas, who bore him a bevy of seven beautiful daughters. Each of the seven bedrooms in Pleione House are uniquely named after her seven daughters. This new build is finished to an exceptionally high standard in every regard, incorporating a bright spacious living/kitchen area spanning to over 1300 ft2.
The open plan design, in conjunction with traditional high ceilings and the brightly coloured wood panelled walls (floor to ceiling), creates a unique and classic feel. The entire floor of this dwelling is finished with a Creme Marfil marble. It is carefully laid in a pre-selected fashion with a diamond pattern format, thus, providing beautiful warm tones and colours.
The finish of the floors, wood panelled walls, custom doors and large crown moulding knit seamlessly into one another in both proportion and texture, resulting in a soothing and very easy on the eye effect.
The kitchen/living area benefits from a large one thousand square foot balcony patio attached to the rear of the upper level. This area benefits from the afternoon and evening sun and a wonderful view over the adjoining 240 acre stud farm.
There is under-floor heating throughout the house, with marble fireplaces making the property feel very comfortable and warm.
All the rooms in the house are generously proportioned. Sash windows are used throughout. The entire house is finished with wood panelled walls by Panelling Ireland.
The dwelling perfectly accommodates a ‘work from home’ arrangement, with its own office and separate side access. This office may also serve as staff/nanny quarters. Six of the seven bedrooms are all en-suite double rooms, and the master bedroom has a beautiful en-suite and walk-in wardrobe.
An acre of landscaped gardens surround the property, including native hedgerow and planting. These gardens have been well maintained, and thus provide screening and privacy.
This is a ‘must see’ and unique once off dwelling.
