Character and charm combined with all modern comforts, the best of all worlds.
INTERIOR
This fabulous renovation has been lovingly undertaken by the current owners, a Greek - French couple. The house used to belong to a family of seamstresses and was built during the Turkish occupation of Crete.
The ground floor double bedroom has a "window" connecting with the living area, is equipped with a ceiling fan and an adjacent bathroom with modern shower room with a built-in shower,W.C, the washing machine and a towel rail.
3 steps down lead to the spacious living consisting of the lounge with two sofas,spacious dining room and a fully equipped kitchen. The thing that hits you when you enter this room are the 2 superb stone arches dating from about 1830, a lot of original features.
The brightness of this room is due to the many openings and the 2 skylights providing extra light to the entire room. This area also features a wood burner for the cold winter months.
From the living room, a door leads to the well designed courtyard equipped with exterior furniture for outdoor living and with amazing views across the countryside to the Psiloritis, Crete's highest mountain and birthplace of Zeus...
Tiled steps lead to the first floor and the spacious bedroom with adjacent shower room and W.C. This bedroom has a 70m2 tiled roof terrace with outdoor furniture and stunning mountain and sea views. This terrace has been reinforced and a SPA Jacuzzi for 6 persons has been installed.
The property comes nearly fully furnished, ready to move in and has many craftsman-built hardwood items. The entire property feels spacious and comfortable. It has been renovated with taste and an eye for detail. Niches and original features can be found throughout and it has been furnished with style, in keeping with the character of the property. All lighting fixtures are handmade. Natural materials feature throughout and pretty outdoor courtyards and terraces provide plenty of opportunity for al fresco living. This is a house with character.
EXTERIOR
A terrace and a comfortable courtyard are provided for outdoor living. One will choose where to sit depending on the month of the year and the needs at this time (shade or sun). Currently a new spa/jacuzzi has been installed on the terrace, comfortably fitting 6 people, the perfect place to enjoy a cool area during the hot summer days.
The courtyard is a little jewel, with a big bougainvillea providing a note of colour and plenty of bushes, providing much needed shade during the hot summer months.
The courtyard is walled and very private, and a gate opens to the back road. The eye catcher is the stone built arched feature with a water tap.
This superb village house offers all comforts with an amazingly functional interior and built with the highest quality materials. It could function as a home away from home or as a holiday home with rental potential.
This amazing property built on a solid rock should be viewed to be fully appreciated.
