Sherry Fitzgerald is offering Manton, No 63 Lower Salthill to the market. This four-bedroom detached property is an outstanding art deco house built by Stephen Stewart circa 1940 as his home. Stewart is also known for building the iconic art deco Blackrock Diving Tower in Salthill, churches, schools, and Pearse Stadium.
The house has many features from this period, including beautifully crafted curved window bays, original oak parquet flooring, Connemara marble fireplace, and a mature garden. In recent years the house has been substantially modernised to include upgraded insulation and heating system. The new double-glazed curved glass windows, in keeping with the art deco style, were custom made in Ireland.
The front of the property offers ample parking space for three cars and features two main road gated entrances. A pedestrian gate at the rear of the property provides access to a private roadway leading back to the main Lower Salthill Road.
The spacious and bright living accommodation is spread over two floors. The accommodation on the ground floor includes a kitchen, toilet, lounge, dining room, and study. The first floor has four bedrooms (three en suite ) and a separate main bathroom. A Stira stairs provides access to the attic.

The patio to the rear of the property is approximately 50sq m and overlooks the garden from a height. Beneath the patio is a substantial storage space featuring long work benches.
