O’Donnellan & Joyce Auctioneers are bringing to the market this unique and elegant property situated in one of the most sought after residential areas in Galway City.
Formerly part of the Dominican School at Taylors Hill, the building is a well-known landmark in Galway city and was originally built in September 1901 as a boarding school for girls.
The building is beautifully renovated throughout, with a French duplex design and an imposing exterior with cast iron balconies wrapping around the upper floors. Ornate spiral cast iron downspouts and decorative fixtures add to the high-quality detail and beauty.
The old boarding school building was abandoned when the Dominican Order moved into the new building in 2005. 19th century deed maps show the property was built on what was originally known as Eaton Hill Manor, which in keeping with its history became known as Eaton Hill Manor.
In 2008, Eaton Hill Manor underwent an extensive renovation by Purcell Construction and was converted into 17 luxury apartments.
Each apartment has been fully upgraded to include modern living standards and facilities whilst retaining the charming style and character of the original buildings.
In order to preserve the original architectural features and attention to detail, the original windows have been restored with period-correct wooden frames, while floors throughout the home have been raised to take in the spectacular views.
The public spaces are a great example of modern renovation combined with respect for the original architecture, with clever repurposing of features such as the steel drying rack in the laundry room, which has now been tastefully restored to conceal the letterbox in the glazed entrance hall.
The Eden Hill Manor communal hall is secured by a security gate, with lifts and basement parking available. The four-story cantilevered staircase and atrium are one of the most spectacular highlights of the restoration. Dark wood panelling and contrasting blue carpet, all lit by large roof lights, create a luxurious yet warm atmosphere.
Number 9 Mount Eaton House is a beautifully located ground floor apartment offering spacious accommodation of approximately 76m².
The property comprises of two large bedrooms both with ample wardrobe space, the master bedroom with its own en-suite, main bathroom, spacious reception hall and open plan kitchen living area.
The quality and character of No. 9 is evident throughout, including large sash windows that provide plenty of natural light, vaulted ceilings, dark walnut hardwood floors and modern fittings including a glossy white kitchen with a central island.
Externally, Mount Eaton House has beautifully landscaped gardens to the rear, south-facing, with a fountain, winding through parkland and is ideally situated close to Taylor’s Hill.
Taylors Hill has long been considered one of the most sought after residential areas in Galway City. This tree-lined road is close to Salthill Village and the Promenade, with easy access to Galway City Centre, UHG and the University of Galway.
Number 9 Eatons Hill House is one of the most elegant properties on the market and truly embodies the style of keeping the old while making it new again.
This period style is not common in Galway city, yet the modernisation and spaciousness offer an unrivalled standard, perfect for today’s living.

Highly recommend watching, guaranteed not to disappoint.
