14 Mount Eaton House, Taylors Hill Road, Galway City, H91PF54

O'Donnellan & Joyce Auctioneers are pleased to offer for sale this truly exceptional property in one of Galway City's most sought after residential locations. Situated in the Dominican School on Taylor's Hill, a well-known Galway City landmarket, the building was originally completed in 1901 as a boarding school for girls. The building offers beautiful finishings throughout having been designed in the French mansard-style with an imposing exterior & cast-iron balcony that encompasses the upper floor. Ornate spiral cast-iron down-pipes & decorative fixtures add to the quality detail & aesthetic. In 2005, the Dominican Order moved into their new building and the old boarding school building became obsolete.

Mount Eaton House was extensively refurbished in 2008 by Purcell Construction & converted into 17 luxury apartments. Each apartment was completely upgraded, all with modern living standards & amenities whilst still retaining the charming style & features of the original building. Sympathetic to the original features & evidence to attention to detail, the original windows have been restored with timber sash which are true to the period design, whilst floor-levels were raised throughout to avail of spectacular views. The communal spaces are an excellent example of a blend of modern refurbishments & respect of the original building, as well as cleverly repurposed features such as the steel airing racks from the laundry now tastefully restored to disguise the letterboxes situated in the glass porch entrance hall. Accessible via secured doors & offering lift access as well as underground parking, Mount Eaton House communal hall features one of the most spectacular restoration highlights in the four-storey cantilever staircase & central atrium. The dark timber panelling & contrasting blue carpet, all lit by the large roof light, add a luxurious & warm ambience.
