We are delighted to offer the unique opportunity to purchase this highly prestigious residence in a glorious location. "Ardkeen" was constructed in 1906 and has been lovingly restored by the present owners over the past 30 years. Nestled discretely on private grounds, the time is right for new owners to apply their own taste and style to this amazing family home and still being able to maintain Ardkeen's original features and character. It is rare that an outstanding property of this calibre becomes available - especially in the highly sought after area of Greenisland

Self Contained Apartment

Of particular interest will be the Annex which was added to the already spacious property 25 years ago. Currently designed as a Bar/ Entertainment area it is suitable for a variety of uses. The annex is wired for kitchen appliances and can easily be converted into separate living accommodation. It will also provide excellent "teenager" or business usage and has independent access. Suffice to say, Ardkeen provides ample space for comfortable living and we highly recommend viewing at your earliest convenience.
