Agent comments this is a very special home which was constructed by the owners to very exacting standards to suit modern family standards, decorated by the present owners who have done a superior job, making for an excellent family home. Colour schemes and layout of the home are very practical in these times especially with Covid 19 where larger homes are required and a home office/study is a must have. With hollowcore flooring, solar panels provide hot water all year round and the grounds are also superb. The house sits on an elevated position overlooking the surrounding countryside with a large garage and external office. The location is also excellent being convenient to Lackagh primary school and in the catchment area for Claregalway secondary school and just 12km from Parkmore and all industrial hubs in this area. This is a wonderful residential location with a fantastic community spirit. Viewing is highly recommended for the discerning purchaser wishing to acquire a magnificent family home.
