This Victorian-era steward's house near Cork City is the definition of a dream house.
Stoneview House, believed to be the former steward's house to the Blarney Castle Estate, dates back to the 1830s and offers a beautiful blend of tradition and modernity.
The four-bedroom house is on the market for €695,000 ($795,000) and sits on about 4.65 acres of land.
Michael H Daniels & Co is listed as the house's real estate agent.
Reconstructed in 1989, Stonview House boasts pine floors, doors, and a pine staircase in addition to fine Georgian windows.
Boston ivy tastefully decorates the house's exterior and each room in the house offers beautiful antique furniture.
The kitchen, for example, looks like something out of Ireland in the 1950s while the dining room also evokes memories of Ireland's past.
