Mark Feehily, the renowned Irish pop singer and former member of the popular boy band Westlife, has sold his grand residence in the affluent area of south Dublin for a hefty €2.425m. The luxurious property boasts elegant interiors, vast landscaped gardens, and wide balconies affording stunning views of the scenic surroundings. Its exquisite architecture, combined with the impeccable finesse of the interiors, make it a dream home for anyone seeking a lavish and tranquil lifestyle. Let’s delve deeper into the exquisite details of this magnificent estate that has been Mark’s home for the past several years.
Westlife band member Mark Feehily has sold his five-bed end-of-terrace Victorian redbrick in the much-sought-after enclave of Elton Park in Sandycove, Dublin. The property was sold on September 29th for €2.425 million, with Feehily having paid €2.3 million for the property in August 2021.
The former home of the pop star extends to 279sq m (3,003sq ft) and is replete with period detail, including decorative cornicing, a stained-glass fanlight above the front door, along with bay windows and soaring 11ft-high ceilings. The Ber-exempt property’s original features are tastefully complemented by the addition of a contemporary kitchen and bathroom suites, while outside the house is framed by a gravelled driveway to the front and a manicured lawn to the rear.
Although the sale went relatively unnoticed at the time, sources indicate that this is not the first property that the Westlife singer has quietly sold in recent times. In fact, it is understood that Feehily also sold another property in Dublin 4 last year. Furthermore, an inspection of the Property Price Register shows that the pop star secured €1.455 million from the sale of his lakeside Sligo home in Lahanna, Ballintogher, in December 2021. The property, which overlooks Lough Gill and its 16 islands, had been offered to the market by Sherry FitzGerald Country Homes and Sherry FitzGerald Draper just four months earlier for €1.15 million.
Feehily’s property portfolio includes several impressive homes in some of Ireland’s most desirable locations. For example, he reportedly owns a number of properties in Sligo, including a luxurious retreat in Rosses Point which he purchased for €2 million in 2017. The stunning property sits on more than 10 acres of land and features breathtaking views over Sligo Bay, including a private beach, a waterfall, and a private jetty.
The pop star’s move away from Elton Park highlights how the pandemic has changed people’s priorities and their lifestyles. With many people staying close to home during the pandemic and working remotely, the need for a home office and extra space has become increasingly important. With Feehily having spent most of his adult life on the road touring with Westlife, it is understandable that he now wants to establish a more settled lifestyle with his fiancé Caesar Sarsfield.
Despite leaving Elton Park, Feehily’s property purchases demonstrate that he has a keen eye for high-quality real estate. His former Sandycove home exemplifies the charm and elegance of Georgian Dublin, while the Sligo properties own by the pop star display the rugged natural beauty of Ireland.
It is unclear whether Feehily will be investing in new real estate soon. However, his previous purchases indicate that he has a passion for beautiful homes and is not afraid to invest substantial sums of money to ensure that he lives in luxurious surroundings. As such, it will be interesting to see where he decides to move next and the type of property that captures his imagination.
In the end, Mark Feehily’s decision to sell his stately south Dublin home for €2.425m was a smart move. With every door closing, a new one opens up, and the same goes for the Westlife star. We can’t wait to see where his career and life takes him next. But for now, let’s bid adieu to the stunning house that was once his haven and congratulate him for making a wise financial decision. Till the next chapter, Mark Feehily!
