Head out west to this light-filled family home minutes from Galway city
Garryowen has five bedrooms, five bathroom and timber floors throughout.
AN ABUNDANCE OF space and an easy route to lively Galway city means Garryowen is sure to hold the attention of anyone looking for a new family home out west.
On the market for €1,250,000, this five bedroom, five bathroom home sits regally on Kingston Road, close to the ever popular Salthill and Taylors Hill. Both are a short stroll or drive away, while Galway’s Eyre Square can be reached by car in 15 minutes.
The home’s natural stone facade and entrance pillars nod to a bygone era, but juxtapose nicely with the modern additions featured inside and out, like electric gates and a pristine paved driveway.
Step inside and it becomes blatantly obvious that space and light were top priority when the orientation of each room was being decided.
The fully fitted kitchen is easy to clean thanks to porcelain tiled flooring, and corian worktops, along with sleek, integrated Bosch appliances. Doors open onto a side patio and there’s a large bay window drenching the space in natural light.
The solid timber floor in the dining room ensures a warm space that provides contrast to the white walls and the natural light, encouraging long extended dinner parties and social gatherings.
The warmth is continued in the large lounge. A solid maple timber floor and the natural stone surrounding the fireplace brings the home’s outdoors in, to create an inviting room perfect for cosy nights in, as well as summer entertaining.
Garryowen has an impressive five bedrooms and everyone in the house gets an en suite bathroom. With this in mind, bathroom queues don’t exist and early morning routines are sure to be a breeze.
The master bedroom’s maple floors, built-in wardrobes and bay window complement this home’s great use of space and light.
Every room overlooks the lush landscaped gardens, with hedgerow boundaries for extra privacy and natural stone paved areas to the front, side and rear of the build. The patio area to the back catches the evening sun.
Located on a small horseshoe drive off Kingston Road populated with detached houses, Garryowen overlooks a communal central green. Ideal for family living, both primary and secondary schools can be reached within minutes.
With Galway city close by, the only downside is that anyone who buys this home will have to make do with a whole host of visitors vying to experience the best the west has to offer.
