Thanks perhaps to Bing Crosby and an Irish doctor called Arthur Colohan, it’s a view that needs no explanation no matter where you go in the world – and gazing out over Galway Bay could be your new reality if you snap up this two-bed apartment at Baily Point.

The iconic song – written by Leicester-based Irish man Dr. Arthur Colahan, who penned it in memory of his brother – peaked at number two in the US charts at the end of the forties, and it has been recorded by everyone from Josef Locke to Johnny Cash since.

Number 71 Baily Point isn’t quite going for a song, coming as it does with a guide price of €325,000 – but for that you get a third-floor apartment in the heart of Salthill, offering open plan living, a dining and kitchen area, and two double bedrooms with master ensuite.

Constructed in the early 2000’s, Baily Point has proved to be extremely popular given its prime location overlooking the Salthill Promenade.

Located just a stone’s throw from the iconic Blackrock diving tower in one direction and the village of Salthill in the other with its many shops, cafes, and bars and restaurants.

Availing of security and lift access, the property has been well maintained and offers well-proportioned living over one storey.

The communal courtyard space provides access to picnic tables, raised flower beds and has uninterrupted views of Galway Bay and the hills of Clare.

Below the complex on the ground and basement floors is the popular Omniplex Cinema, and there is a world of social and sporting locations all within walking distance.

No 71 Baily Point would be the ideal owner occupier residence, an investment property or holiday home.

Viewing can be arranged through the estate agents, O’Donnellan & Joyce on 091-564212 or via the website www.odj.ie.
