Currently configured as two self-contained apartments with a total of four bedrooms, Cooleen offers an exceptional seafront location in Sandycove. Just steps from the ocean, the property boasts panoramic sea views that stretch across Scotsman's Bay, from the James Joyce Tower at Sandycove to the Dun Laoghaire Pier, extending out to Howth Head and beyond.

The first-floor apartment includes a landing, two bedrooms, a kitchen and dining room, a living room with exceptional views, a bathroom, and an outside terrace area. With minor modifications, Cooleen can be easily reconfigured into a five-bedroom family home.
