Every so often a special property comes to the market that generates huge interest. In his 40 years as an auctioneer Don Colleran has sold many special properties, and No 28 Fr Griffin Road, Galway is certainly right up there.
This period residence is bursting with original charm and character. "I knew we had something special, but until you list a property and people view it you never really know the reaction its going to have," Don Colleran said, and what a reaction. On the first day of viewing more than 50 people viewed this unique home. One of the many attractions everyone was talking about was the size of the sun filled west facing back garden. To find a home so close to the city centre and Salthill, with a garden this large, is a rare thing. The property is less than five minutes' stroll to Grattan Beach and Salthill Promenade in one direction, and five minutes towards town in the other direction, over the River Corrib and up Quay Street.
The spacious accommodation throughout this 1950s home includes a charming double door entrance to a porch, the entrance hall is very striking with its original 1950s mosaic tiling. There are two reception rooms off this striking entrance hall. A cosy sitting room with original fireplace and high ceilings, dining room with open fireplace. The kitchen has double French doors that open out onto a patio and the large sun filled, west facing back garden that everyone is talking about. There is a large utility room and guest toilet downstairs. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms and a bathroom. The master bedroom has an en suite, and there is an extremely large bedroom with open fireplace that would also make an excellent master bedroom if an en suite was added.
The house is very special, as is its location, sitting between the city centre and Salthill with every amenity on the doorstep including a choice of schools both primary and secondary. If you are looking for something very special and rare to call home then talk to Don Colleran today for an appointment to view No 28 Fr Griffin Road.
