Imagine waking up to views of Clifden Bay and the Connemara hills, then strolling into town for coffee or lunch without ever needing a car.
A major part of this contemporary three-bedroom coastal home's appeal on Beach Road in Clifden is that the scenery is every bit as impressive as the house itself, and it is a short stroll from everything.
Built around five years ago, the property spans three floors and is designed to make the most of its waterfront setting. Large windows and glazed doors bring in plenty of natural light, and several rooms overlook Clifden Bay.

With an A-rated BER, three double bedrooms and three bathrooms, this property offers a comfortable option for year-round living, a holiday base or a home away from home on the Wild Atlantic Way.
Clifden town centre is just a five-minute walk away, so the shops, cafés, restaurants, galleries, and colourful streets of the Connemara capital are on your doorstep.
Beautiful beaches, Connemara National Park and some wonderful coastal drives are also within easy reach.
Inside, the entrance hall sets the tone with contemporary tiled flooring and a clean, modern finish.
At the front of the house, a cosy family room looks out across Clifden Bay, a lovely spot to settle in with a book or watch television while enjoying the view.
A double bedroom is tucked away to the rear, complete with fitted wardrobes and its own fully tiled shower room. This handy arrangement suits guests or family members who would appreciate a little extra privacy.
Upstairs, the main living space really comes into its own.
The kitchen, dining, and living areas are on the first floor, making the most of the views, and are open plan, creating a bright, sociable feel and making it easy to spend time together, whether you're cooking dinner, entertaining friends, or simply relaxing at home.
The fitted kitchen has plenty of storage, integrated appliances, polished quartz worktops and a Belfast sink.
A large central island provides extra prep space and a place to sit for a quick breakfast or a glass of wine while dinner is being made. A door also leads out to the private rear patio.
The dining area flows into the living room, where full-height glazing maximises those wonderful bay views.
A built-in media wall and feature fireplace create a comfortable focal point, but the sliding doors to the glass-fronted balcony will likely catch your eye.
Step outside and the water is right in front of you, with the surrounding hills completing the picture.
It's an ideal spot for morning coffee, an evening drink, or an outdoor meal as you watch the light change over the bay.
The top floor has two more double bedrooms. The main bedroom again enjoys those panoramic views, plus fitted wardrobes and additional built-in storage.
Its en suite is particularly well equipped, with both a bath and a large walk-in shower. The second bedroom overlooks the rear of the property and has fitted wardrobes and its own en suite shower room.
The rear also has outdoor space, including a private patio for a more sheltered spot to sit out or entertain. On-street parking is available.
Beach Road is a lovely place to enjoy Clifden's coastal setting without leaving the town's life. Spend the morning exploring the Connemara countryside, head into town for lunch, and be back home in time to watch the sun change over the bay.
For anyone who loves modern, low-energy living with the sea as a constant backdrop, this home makes the most of its remarkable setting.
Sherry FitzGerald is asking €725,000 for this modern seaside property.
