This
fine period city house was built in 1805 by an officer in Nelson’s
fleet. It as impressive now as it was then. Hidden
behind a tall hedge and stone wall, it is in the heart of the old
Salthill section of Galway City, just blocks from the water.
(Before the construction of Grattan Road, this was a waterside house!)
|
The
wide entry hall evokes an earlier time of formality and elegance, but
this is not a stuffy house. It is cozy and
comfortable. The spacious drawing room has a vaulted
ceiling, a fine fireplace, antique furniture, interesting
keepsakes and art.

room has comfortable furniture, a Victorian baby grand piano,
games
table, cable TV, VCR, CD player and many books.
