From the Agent: "We are excited to present a striking modernist home of unequivocal distinction that eschews ornamentation to focus on functionality. Set on approximately three acres of tranquil surrounds on the foothills of the Dublin Mountains, the home, named Bauhaus, is quite simply exceptional. Designed in 1963 by Cologne-based Schurmann Architects, it was home to the renowned Czech-born sculptor Gerda Fromel. While raising her family there, Gerda also imagined, took inspiration, and created her most celebrated works including Moon and Hill, Spear, Eve, and Head. The current owners acquired the home in 2006 and began a considerable restoration and renovation program to protect, improve, enhance, and preserve its architectural and spiritual provenance."

The property sits hidden behind a tall old stone wall and is approached via a sweeping drive surrounded and lined by soaring trees and wild gardens.
