Kitchen.

Rare four bed semi in Renmore
Renmore has stood the test of time and still remains one of Galway's most sought after areas for both investors and families due to its large open spaces and proximity to the city centre and all necessary amenities. No 137 Dun na Mara in the heart of Renmore is currently being offered for sale by Don Colleran. This is a rare four bedroomed semi which there are very few of in Renmore. It is considerably larger than the traditional three bedroom with a larger and brighter entrance hall, larger sitting room, separate dining room, and larger kitchen. As with most of Renmore the attic is also suitable for conversion offering additional potential. One of many attractions of 137 Dun na Mara is that in addition to the large living space, it has a south facing back garden which gets the sun all day and even commands beautiful views of Galway Bay. The house also backs onto Dun Na Mara park so it is not overlooked from behind. If this is not enough the garage has already been converted into a one bedroom self contained flat. With a guide price of only 325,000 you should contact Collerans auctioneers today on 562293.
