See inside stunning Kildare home of the late Marian Finucane on the market for €1.35m
Built in 2014, just six years before her sudden death in 2020, Stream House in Punchestown Upper in Naas, Co Kildare near the village of Kilteel, is a contemporary country residence set on 22 acres of immaculate grounds.
At the heart of the property lies one of its most unique features; an exquisite zen-inspired Japanese gardens, complete with meandering streams, ponds and carefully crafted pathways and stonework.
These gardens were clearly a labour of love for both Marian and John and create a deeply tranquil and meditative atmosphere for anyone who ventures into the gardens to enjoy.
Along with the ornamental gardens, the property has stud-railed paddocks and a stable yard, offering excellent equestrian opportunities for the property's future owners.
The inside of the home is just as impressive as the outside and is flooded with bright natural light.
The home features a breath-taking vaulted-ceiling entrance hall, complete with architectural light panels that create a warm and welcoming first impression for those who enter the property's front door.
Next, a library or study provides a quiet space for reading or working with hundreds of books adorning the walls of the room, providing the perfect space to get lost in a good novel.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the open-plan kitchen and dining area, which like the rest of the home is filled with natural light, while the large main living room has ample space for relaxation or entertaining guests.
Along with the home's communal areas, there are five en-suite bedrooms, which each overlook either the pristine gardens or the surrounding rolling countryside.
"Stream House is not just a home, it is an experience,' said the estate agent. 'Whether you're walking the winding garden paths, listening to the gentle sound of running water from the streams or enjoying the peace and beauty of the paddocks, this property offers a unique lifestyle opportunity rarely found on the market.'
Stream House in Punchestown Upper, Rathmore, Naas, Co Kildare has been placed on the market by estate agents J.P. & M. Doyle for €1,350,000.
