DNG Maxwell Heaslip & Leonard presents to the market this very impressive semidetached property in Greenfields on Upper Newcastle in Galway city. Located just minutes from the city centre, this outstanding two storey residence has been extended to the side and is one of the finest city homes to come to the Galway market in recent months.
No 42 Greenfields is tastefully subdivided into a three bed with a self contained two bed apartment with full planning permission. The house is owner occupied and is in excellent condition throughout. The original house was built in the early 1970s while the apartment was added in 1999. It is situated in the leafy suburb of Newcastle and the house faces a small green area which incorporates a cluster of mature trees. To the rear of the house there is a west facing, beautifully maintained back garden; this sun trap in the middle of the city is a blessing and the keen gardener will take full advantage of this space.
At the end of the estate the road leads into Dangan Nurseries, IDA Dangan, the magnificent University of Galway campus, playing fields and running track. This latter amenity has a riverside walkway which is a daily walk for many; flanking the River Corrib, opposite Menlo Castle, the path meanders into the Galway canals and all the way into town. At present, there is a primary school 1km from the house, with the prospect of a secondary school coming soon to the local area. University Hospital Galway is also 1km away. From your doorstep you can walk into Galway city centre in 20 minutes, while the nearest bus stop is directly across the road. This location is perfect for families but also for anyone who is attending the university or UHG.
Selling agent Kyle O’Brien commented: “Having recently overseen the sales of properties in this area, it is safe to say that this impressive property has huge potential. Currently owner occupied, the house is in immaculate condition and ready for immediate occupancy. The two bed apartment, with its own entrance, is a huge attraction. It will allow the new owners the opportunity of having a steady, guaranteed rental income. If they don’t want to go down the rental route, the house can easily be opened back to its original layout which means they will now have five bedrooms, a playroom and office space.
"The layout and design of No 42 lends itself to further enhancement, with very little expense," he added. "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 42 Greenfields is being offered to the market with a price of €575,000. Viewing is by appointment only and can be arranged by contacting the residential sales team at DNG Maxwell Heaslip & Leonard at 091 565261.
