"It was one of the things about the house that captured our imagination,"
"We like to think that Il Papa had his breakfast out of it."
"When you have five children, it was just wonderful to be able to live in a house this size. The location was terrific, being close to Castleknock village, to Phoenix Park, and being able to go down a quiet lane to the back of Georgian Village there, and to Farmleigh and all of that."
Number 113 Georgian Village is a five-bedroom detached house in Castleknock, Dublin 15, offered at €2.495m through Sherry FitzGerald. The kitchen contains a cream-coloured Aga cooker reputedly from the Papal Nuncio’s residence and possibly used during Pope John Paul II’s Phoenix Park visit. The current owners, Joe and Orla Galvin, bought the property more than 20 years ago to accommodate a growing family. The house was built in the mid-1970s as part of an estate aimed at middle-class families and has attracted medical and legal professionals. The location sits close to Castleknock village, Phoenix Park and Farmleigh.
