Every so often, a property hits the market that captures the imagination of buyers, and 1 Whitestrand Park, Salthill, Galway is proving to be just that. In a market where demand is high, this home has drawn an overwhelming response, with over 30 eager buyers stepping through its doors on the very first day of viewings last week.
Auctioneer Don Colleran, a seasoned expert in Salthill real estate, has sold many homes over the years—big and small—but even he was taken aback by the level of interest in this particular gem. “I knew this was a special home, but you never truly know how people will react until the viewings begin,” he remarked.
What makes this home stand out? For starters, it boasts the largest corner site in the estate, with a sun-drenched, south-facing back garden that has become the talk of every visitor. Finding a property with this much space, this close to both Salthill and the city centre, is a rarity. Imagine being just a five-minute stroll from Grattan Beach and the iconic Salthill Promenade, while also having a direct route to the heart of Galway via Quay Street and the River Corrib.
Stepping inside, the 1960s-built home exudes warmth and charm. The ground floor offers a bright entrance porch, a versatile sunroom or study, and a welcoming hallway leading to a generously sized sitting and dining room with an open fireplace. The heart of the home—a sun-filled, south-facing kitchen and dining area—features a cozy stove and overlooks the expansive garden. A utility room and downstairs toilet add to the convenience.
Upstairs, four double bedrooms provide ample space for family living, while the main bathroom completes the first floor. And for those looking for even more potential, the large attic—already converted in many neighbouring homes—presents an exciting opportunity for expansion.
Nestled between the bustling city centre and the scenic beauty of Salthill, this location is second to none. With top-tier primary and secondary schools, parks, shops, and recreational facilities all within easy reach, it’s no wonder this home has sparked such excitement.
With a guide price of €640,000, this exceptional property won’t stay on the market for long. If you’re searching for a one-of-a-kind home in an unbeatable location, don’t miss your chance. Contact Don Colleran at Colleran Auctioneers today a
