MANY have found their eternal home in a gorgeous old graveyard just across the tranquil laneway from Harbour Mist, a Passage West property with a great deal more to it than the roadside view suggests. A cursory glance gives the impression of a compact dormer, but actually, there’s surprising depth.

“It’s way bigger than it looks from the front. It reaches deep into the site. At more than 2,700sq ft, there’s plenty room to raise a family,” says selling agent Tim Sullivan of Timothy Sullivan & Associates.

Built in 2007, it’s been owner occupied since, but they are now trading down.

Rooms are a good size, with a 23’ x 22’ sitting-cum-dining room and a 23’ x 15’ kitchen-cum-breakfast room. 

A separate lounge has French doors to a front patio and lawn.

 A tarmac drive runs down the side to the rear, where there’s plenty of parking, as well as a separate outhouse. House hunters looking for a ground floor bedroom will find two at Harbour Mist, of which one is en suite. 

Two more bedrooms are overhead as well as a study/home office and another bathroom (one of three).

Mr Sullivan says Harbour Mist, in a cul-de-sac between Upper Rochestown and Passage West, is in super condition.

“It’s a cracking house,” says the agent, who is guiding at €690,000, adding that it’s just a short stroll to the village of Passage West.

VERDICT: A home for peaceful repose. Ideal for a family
