A rare opportunity in a prestigious location a short walk from the city centre
O’Donnellan and Joyce auctioneers presents to market a beautiful Victorian period residence in the much sought-after Galway city location of The Crescent.
Constructed in the early 19th century and listed No 10209 on the Record of Protected Structures, No 9 The Crescent is one of 14 in a terrace of houses of what was originally known as Palmyra Crescent.
A stately terrace located between Sea Road and St Mary’s Road, The Crescent accommodates solicitors’ and doctors’ offices, and No 9 was up until recently, used as solicitors’ offices. However, these properties are being transformed as residential homes.
No 9 The Crescent has been maintained by the current owners and presented with many period characteristics still intact. Such features include vaulted ceilings with decorative cornicing, tall sash windows and shutters, and marble and cast-iron fireplaces.
Extending to approximately 314sq m with two storeys over a basement, No 9 The Crescent offers ample accommodation and is a blank canvas for the imaginative buyer. The entrance level has two large reception rooms off the entrance hall, both with beautiful fireplaces and tall sash windows allowing lots of natural light.
Off the rear hall is another office overlooking the rear garden, two separate toilets with wash hand basins, and another two rooms.
A stair leads from this hall down to the basement level with rear garden access. On this level, there are three good sized rooms, with a separate kitchen, storage room and shower room. The front room has an entrance porch giving access to the front garden.
The first floor of the house is arranged off a split-level landing, with four rooms to the front. Two of those are sizeable rooms with fireplaces and tall sash windows overlooking the front garden. The rear of this landing has another two rooms with tall sash windows allowing lots of natural light.
Externally No 9 The Crescent is equally impressive. Accessible via the cast-iron gate and stone-wall frontage, the front garden is surrounded by mature greenery with a long pathway allowing the residence to avail of plenty of privacy for a city home.
Situated at the bottom of Taylor’s Hill, The Crescent has long been considered as one of Galway city’s most sought-after residential addresses and a landmark location with tree-lined surroundings within walking distance of everything Galway is famous for.
Galway’s vibrant Latin Quarter and West End are nearby, offering some of the best restaurants in the city. Also within walking distance is the University of Galway, UHG, and the seaside village of Salthill with several popular outdoor landmarks including Salthill Promenade and Blackrock Diving Tower.
Along with being well serviced by an abundance of amenities expected from city living, The Crescent is within minutes of several leading primary and secondary schools making it a perfect location for family living.
No 9 The Crescent would be the perfect home for anybody looking to avail of city living at its finest in a period-style property rare to Galway, with ample accommodation, internally and externally.
Viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate the character and quality on offer.
BER exempt. Size is 314sq m. Price on application.
