No 77 Fr Burke Road is a rare offering in The Claddagh — a home that surprises at every turn. What appears from the street as a charming end-of-terrace residence unfolds into a remarkably spacious, architect-designed property, reimagined and substantially extended in 2007 to create a contemporary, light-filled living environment over three impressive levels.
Set in the heart of one of Galway’s most desirable neighbourhoods just off Salthill Promenade, where the city centre is only moments away — this home enjoys one of the largest rear gardens on the road: a superb 24-metre west-facing oasis with exceptional privacy and evening sun.
In 2007 the property underwent a comprehensive refurbishment, engaging architects to design a striking three storey rear extension. The result is a contemporary home with extensive glazing, maximising natural light and capturing views towards Galway Bay.
High quality finishes feature throughout, including triple glazed Bruckner Aluclad windows, underfloor heating, solar panels, solid oak internal doors.
More recently in 2023, the existing owners undertook a substantial upgrade and modernisation of the kitchen area, engaging Irish market leaders Kontour to install a bespoke concrete Island and modern joinery solutions, with top-of-the-range, brand new appliances installed throughout. An EV charging point was also installed adding further convenience for modern living.
The accommodation is wonderfully versatile. The ground floor provides two generous living spaces, a high-spec kitchen/dining area, utility and shower room. The first floor offers three double bedrooms and a beautifully finished main bathroom. The top floor is a standout — a large open-plan room flooded with natural light, ideal as a studio, home office or additional bedroom, complete with its own shower room and storage.
Outside, the property continues to impress. The front offers a cobble driveway providing parking for two cars and gated side access, while the expansive rear garden is thoughtfully landscaped with two patio areas, a raised deck, stepped lawns, mature hedging and a garden shed — a superb private space for outdoor living.
This is a true turnkey home in a prime location, offering space, style and exceptional natural light — a rare combination in The Claddagh.
“Homes in The Claddagh are always in demand, but No 77 is truly special," said Eva Casserly from DNG Leonard & Heaslip. "The scale, the light, the architectural design and that incredible west-facing garden and views over Galway Bay make it stand out in a way very few properties in the area can. It’s a home that feels both beautifully considered and genuinely welcoming — a rare find in one of Galway’s most sought after neighbourhoods.”
