THIS is a trophy home, straight out of the design manual for contemporary style. No 6 Churchfields has the sort of address which speaks volumes . . . it's part of a development of just 20 residences built around the world famous K Club, the Ryder Cup golf course, in the grounds of Straffan House, Co Kildare.
The house opens from a circular, central entrance hall with double-height ceilings, Tuscan marble floor and features a curving staircase with low-level lighting. All ground-floor rooms radiate from this focal space, the largest being the open-plan kitchen/living/dining/lounge which runs the full width of the house. The entire south wall of this large room has floor to ceiling glazing on a curve and gives tranquil views of the course. In the designated kitchen area, designer fittings include Bulthaup units in walnut and stainless steel. Top of the range appliances are integrated within the units and also in the large, central island. Three bedrooms at ground floor have en-suites with Antica marble floors.
Up on the first floor is the master bedroom suite, with luxurious bathroom and glazed double doors out to the balcony. Just one of many unique features here is the separate, exterior limestone staircase back down to the patio below.
