DNG Maxwell Heaslip & Leonard are proud to present to the market this most impressive end of terrace property on the Newcastle Road in Galway city. Located just minutes from the city centre, this outstanding two storey residence has been extended to the rear and is one of the finest city homes to come to the Galway market in recent months.
Originally built in the 1930s, the property has been upgraded throughout the years, and while in good condition and ready to occupy, it would benefit from some upgrading in order to bring it up to modern day living standards. However, in its current guise, it is bright and spacious and offers huge potential for those looking to live in one of the most desirable locations in the city.
One of a row of eight similarly styled houses, the property is elevated from the street, and set back far enough that the passing traffic is not a major focal point. The front and rear gardens and an access path on the property, offers an entrance that’s other-worldly, from a bygone era.
Stepping over the threshold into the wonderful hall area, the polished concrete floors are the first thing that your eye is drawn to. The high ceilings, cornices and coving, and the original staircase all date back to the property's construction.
There is a larger living room with a bay window with views of the Cathedrals copper dome and the original kitchen is now a sitting room, which acts as a conduit to the extended kitchen area.
At first floor level, there are three spacious bedrooms, with the larger of the three having its own en-suite shower room. The attic has been cleverly converted into a store room, but may double-up as a home office or bedroom.
To the rear of the house there is a west facing back garden, which, with some attention, has great potential. A sun trap like this in the middle of the city is a blessing and the keen gardener will take full advantage of this space.
Selling agent James Heaslip commented, “Having recently overseen the sales of a properties in this area, it is safe to say that this impressive property has huge potential. Although currently in use as a rental property, the layout and design lend itself to further enhancement, without huge expense.
“The demand for homes in this area, due to it close proximity to the hospital and the university, is at an all-time high right now. Easy access to the city centre, loads of schools and every amenity, will surely entice those who want city living, in a home full of charm and character."
No.18 Newcastle Rd is being offered to the market with a price of €510,000.
