At first glance number 272 Howth Road looks like it has been in situ for decades. However, the four-bedroom, Dutch-gabled, detached house was built on the site of an artisan cottage just 21 years ago. It was designed by architect Martin Meehan of Meehan Associates and features many artistic flourishes. These include a floating steel and glass staircase with leather-covered treads and an impressive, Mondrian-inspired double-height window in its entrance hall, which features hand-made waterwave glass.
The house is unfurnished but the photos taken when it was furnished show that its sizeable living room is big enough to accommodate three three-seater sofas. It also housed a baby grand piano.
