See inside American-style home that is a golfer's dream for €695,000
Everglades, Mount Sion, Ferrybank, County Waterford, (X91E2W8) is a four-bed, two-bath detached home that was named by its commissioning owner, a widow returning from post-war America.
Ideally positioned on the outskirts of Waterford City, this unique property enjoys a 'stunning, elevated setting' adjoining Waterford Golf Club, offering sweeping views of its manicured fairways, says Margaret Fogarty of RE/MAX Property Specialists.
Set on about 1.3 acres of mature, private grounds, the residence is set back from the road and oriented to follow the sun's arc, maximising light and the panoramic outlook over the 14th green and 12th fairway of the neighbouring golf club.
The house was designed as a bespoke American-style bungalow, its square footprint and mid-century influences carefully considered by its original owner.
A second craftsman-owner, also a family member, later enriched the home with an array of custom-built furniture and fittings that remain integral to its character.
Over the years, Everglades has been extended to the rear and first floor to create an adaptable four-bedroom family residence.
The ground floor, with its extra high ceilings and original oak flooring, has three reception rooms, two with fireplaces, along with a kitchen-diner, conservatory, three bedrooms, each with built-in storage, and a family bathroom, WC, and utility room.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite has an en-suite bathroom, a walk-in attic storage area, and a private viewing balcony that overlooks the gardens and golf course.
Externally, the grounds are laid out in lawns with mature planting and an elevated sun-terrace, providing both space and serenity.
A large double garage and ample off-street parking complete the offering.
Located just minutes from Waterford city, Everglades benefits from immediate access to the M9, N25, and N24 road networks.
'This is more than just a home, it's a private, peaceful sanctuary steeped in history and brimming with potential,' said Ms Fogarty.
'Everglades invites its next custodian to add their own personal touch and reimagine it as a modern family home, all while preserving its legacy and unique charm.'
