Description
O'Donnellan & Joyce are delighted to be instructed with the sale of this exceptional coastal family home.
Natural light is the best feature of any home, and this property certainly embodies that architectural imperative as it soaks up the wonderful light bounced up into the sky by the Burren across Galway Bay.
This large, detached house on an acre of ground with separate self-contained 1 bedroom apartment and garage is in Indreabhán, on Galway's Wild Atlantic Way, just 4km west of charming seaside village An Spidéal.
Although west-facing, cleverly the living areas, kitchen, dining and sitting rooms are oriented southward to maximise the wonderful southerly aspect especially from the upstairs sitting room with uninterrupted views of Galway Bay, The Burren and the Aran Islands.
This architect-designed home was thoughtfully planned and built in 2005 and is ready for a new family as the current owners seek to downsize.
