The home of a former RTE Boss has been put on the market with a whopping asking price of €3.3 million.
George Waters, who was RTE director general between 1978 and 1985, lived in the Foxrock home with his wife Mary until he passed away aged 90 last November. His wife Mary is now looking to downsize, the Irish Times reports .
The couple had the house built in 2003 after they returned from a period living in Switzerland. They named the house Châteauneuf in honour of their time living in the central European country.
The luxury 5,060 square-foot home boasts four bedrooms and five bathrooms as well as stunning kitchen and living areas and a cinema room. One of the bathrooms also features a jacuzzi bath.
