No. 16 Balscadden Road, Howth – Ben Eadair offers a rare opportunity to acquire a stunning property in the heart of Howth, one of Dublin's most picturesque and sought-after coastal locations. This charming period residence, positioned on an elevated site, boasts breathtaking, panoramic views of Howth Harbour, Ireland’s Eye, and the Dublin’s north coastline, making it a truly exceptional home. A property steeped in local and cultural history this extraordinary period residence is now in need of some modernisation which will present a unique opportunity to the new owners. This beautifully presented home is filled with character. As you enter the property, you are greeted by a welcoming hallway that flows seamlessly into the living areas. The property is quite unconventional in that the living accommodation for the most part is upstairs in order to make the most of the panoramic views. Each room in Ben Eadair is thoughtfully designed to maximize the breathtaking sea views, creating a tranquil and light-filled atmosphere throughout. At hall level there are two large reception rooms and a peaceful study ideal as a home office. The living room and dining room have uninterrupted views across the Irish Sea. (The dining room or study could easily be turned into a 5th bedroom). The living room and study both have open fires with ornate fire surrounds and the bay window added by the current owners which provides the spectator with a 180 degree front row seat of the East Pier and Irelands Eye in the distance with all the activity of Howth Harbour in between. Downstairs there are 4 bedrooms (with both the main bedroom and bed 2 ensuite), the main kitchen / breakfast room with a matching bay window and a conservatory extension which connects the main house to the outdoor amenities. The outdoor space at No. 16 is another quite unique feature of the property. The beautifully landscaped garden, with its mix of patio areas and lush greenery, offers an oasis of peace and privacy with unparalleled views of the sea. The outdoor terrace is ideal for alfresco dining or simply enjoying the breathtaking views of the harbour and surrounding scenery. The garden’s elevated position ensures that the panoramic sea views can be enjoyed from every angle, adding to the home’s sense of serenity and luxury. The site is long and narrow and approximately 0.5 acres along the cliff’s edge with several distinct patios and platforms which display the view from different view points. There are two separate garages (one a double) on the site (invaluable with parking at a premium locally) and a custom built barbeque hut. Howth Head was immortalised in James Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’, and it’s not difficult to see why – prose, poetry and song are worthy tributes to the coastal beauty of the area. Originally a small fishing village, Howth has grown to be a major coastal area with a busy fishing port. The town, with its maritime influences and historic roots, is full of variety, with wild moorland, woodlands, and stunning cliff and coastal walks within easy reach. The coastal setting provides for walks and hiking trails around Howth Head, taking in the views of Ireland’s Eye and Lambay Island. You can take your pick from half a dozen looped walks in this spectacular area. The Village is just 20km from the City Centre (about 30 minutes by DART) and 17km (30 minutes by car) to Dublin Airport. The serenity of the surroundings are balanced by a sometimes bustling night life with a mixture of fantastic cafes, bars and restaurants. There is also a plethora of incredible public and private amenities on the peninsula from sailing and golfing to cliff walks and kite surfing. Howth has it all. Ben Eadair at No. 16 Balscadden Road is more than just a home – it’s a lifestyle. With its stunning coastal views, spacious accommodation, and prime location, this property is an exceptional find in the heart of Howth. Perfect for those seeking a luxurious, seaside retreat with easy access to all the amenities and beauty that this renowned coastal village has to offer. All in all ‘Ben Eadair’ presents an opportunity not to be missed. For those seeking a private sanctuary while remaining close to the vibrant lifestyle of Dublin’s city and coast, you could have a home steeped in character and history in a location unlike any other just a few minutes walk from Howth Village.
