Colleran auctioneers is offering No 66 Glenard Crescent, Salthill, a substantial six bedroom semidetached residence that requires investment and remodernisation, but offers exceptional potential to create a large, contemporary family home in a prime location.
A mature residential estate built in the mid-1960s, Glenard Crescent has long been recognised as one of Salthill’s most desirable addresses. Properties of this scale and setting seldom come to market, particularly those offering the scope to completely reimagine and redesign a home to suit modern living standards.
Extending to approximately 249sq m (2,680sq ft ), No 66 Glenard Crescent provides generous accommodation with a layout that reflects the era in which it was built. While the property has been well lived in over the years, it is now clear that extensive upgrading and modernisation are required to bring it in line with the expectations of today’s families. This requirement has been fully reflected in the guide price, presenting a compelling opportunity for buyers willing to undertake a substantial refurbishment project.
Internally, the accommodation includes multiple reception rooms, a kitchen/dining area, utility and pantry spaces, and six bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility, but also highlighting the scope for reconfiguration. Buyers may choose to open up living spaces, improve energy efficiency, and modernise finishes throughout, creating a home that blends modern design with the solid construction of a mid-century build.
Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is generous in scale, while the attic level offers additional storage and further potential, subject to planning permission.
Outside, the property benefits from a west-facing rear garden, capturing afternoon and evening sun, an increasingly valuable feature for family life and entertaining. With thoughtful landscaping and design, the outdoor space could become a real extension of the home.
While the house itself requires considerable work, its location is second to none. Positioned in the heart of Salthill, residents enjoy immediate access to a host of local amenities. Salthill Promenade, Galway Bay beaches, and Leisureland are all within walking distance, offering year-round recreational opportunities. The area is also well served by cafés, restaurants, neighbourhood shops, sports clubs, and regular public transport links to Galway city centre.
Families will particularly appreciate the proximity to some of Galway’s most highly regarded primary and secondary schools, many of which are within easy walking distance. This combination of coastal lifestyle, educational choice, and established community continues to underpin strong demand for homes in Glenard Crescent.
“This is very much a property for buyers who can see beyond its current condition,” said Don Colleran of Colleran auctioneers. “It requires substantial investment, but the reward is the opportunity to create a truly impressive modern family home in one of Salthill’s most prized locations. Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly scarce.”
With its scale, orientation and exceptional setting, No 66 Glenard Crescent represents a rare chance to acquire a home with real potential — one that, with vision and commitment, could be transformed into a long-term family residence in one of Galway’s most desirable suburbs.
For sale by private treaty, this wonderful property is offered with a guide price of €725,000.
