This Waterfront Home Has Incredible Views In Kinsale, Ireland

A three-bedroom house that once belonged to a Navy admiral as well as a Hollywood star known for Scarface and the Abyss has come on the market.

The family home, known as Anchorage, sits on the seafront in Kinsale, Co Cork and comes with its own private boat launch and mooring.

The semi-detached house is spread over three floors and includes three reception rooms, a luxurious kitchen, an office, a solarium and a terrace overlooking the water.

With the highest asking price of any property in Kinsale, anyone shelling out the £2.2million will be following in the footsteps of unusual previous owners who enjoyed the incredible views, CorkBeo reported.

Prospective owners will appreciate the amount of natural light flooding the home

In the 1800s it was owned by a British naval admiral, but later belonged to Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio of Hollywood, star of Scarface and The Color of Money, and her award-winning director husband Pat O'Connor at the Bafta

The listing reads: "This luxury property has been completely renovated by its current owners, who through their international travels have brought a real sense of contemporary and classic style to the property.

"The house exudes character and a beautiful energy, enhanced by its south-west orientation, its facade on the water and its exceptionally beautiful sea views.

"A charming restored Victorian property with spectacular views over Kinsale Harbour, it is a cornerstone of the history of the village of Summercove."
