Description
The property is a large, three-storey NEOCLASSICAL HOUSE built of stone in 1922 and
extensively renovated and restored to the highest standards over two years, with works
completed in 2009. It is a listed (as preserved) building located at the foot of Filopappou Hill
in the center of Athens, close to shops and restaurants and only a nine-minute walk from the
Acropolis Museum.
Originally built as two dwellings (raised ground floor flat and first floor flat), the house was
reconfigured into one large, two-storey home during renovation. As currently designed, this
Main Residence has three bedrooms (with the possibility of five) and four bathrooms, two
of which are en suite. This two-floor residence can easily be turned back into two separate
flats if desired, each with its separate entrance.
Many of the home’s elegant fixtures and fittings will remain with the house at time of sale
while others will be open to negotiation. All kitchen appliances in the main residence, the
lower ground floor apartment and the rooftop “doma” are included in the sale as is all
laundry equipment. The clothes cupboards (ground floor landing and master suite dressing
room) will remain in the house.
• The total internal space is circa 538 m2
. • Alarm system with answer phone & camera.
Garden and Patio space 60 sq. m. and roof top terrace 135 sq. m.
Location: Right at the foothills of the Acropolis, and just 1 km away from the city centre, this is an area that has seen a huge surge in demand. A vibrant shopping and tourist district, with beautiful neoclassical homes lining its streets, it is one of Athens’ most charming neighbourhoods.
Unique features: The charming area of Koukaki, sprawled at the feet of the Acropolis, has been voted as one of the most interesting neighbourhoods in the world (at least according to Airbnb). It's not hard to see why it made the list: As one of the fastest-growing precincts of central Athens, Koukaki has seen an explosion of hip restaurants, bars and boutiques, attracting a young crowd of students, creatives and Instagrammers, all the while retaining the warmth and intimacy of 1960s Athens. Koukaki offers a good base to discover the charms of Athens and its most renowned sites, the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. The Museum for Contemporary Art is housed here too and two of Athens’ cultural venues – the Onassis Cultural Centre and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation are a short drive away.
Accessibility: Extremely well-connected by the metro (Syngrou- Fix and Acropolis stops), tram, bus services to the rest of Athens. The airport is 50 minutes to an hour away by express train and direct buses and Piraeus Port is a short 30 minute ride away by bus.
Investment potential: This area is right in the historic centre of Athens, an area that has always enjoyed a lot of interest from buyers. Guaranteed returns on investment.
