Complete with hard wood floors; vaulted ceilings, wooden shutters and skylights, in many of the rooms, the original stone walls or wooden ceilings are highlighted.

The front balconies show case the original, Hellenic ironwork as well as a picturesque view of the tree lined boardwalk and it’s quaint cafes, the pillared façade of the ancient Library of Hadrian as well as the Ancient Agora Museum located next door.

Many of the Greek traditional neoclassical houses opened up to foliaged courtyards, as is so with this beautiful home. The large kitchen and two of the 3 bedrooms adjoin the 70 sq.meter (753 sq.feet) flowered courtyard area which is partially covered with fabric, glass and ironwork awnings. The entire yard offering a peaceful retreat for dining, sunbathing, entertaining, yoga and meditation.

This resplendent home is located on a pedestrian boardwalk in Monastiraki, the most historical area of Athens. The majority of the neighbouring buildings , including this one, are considered Athenian heritage houses and are subject to the Greek government preservation Laws.

The Acropolis is just a few blocks south... a few minute’s walk away. One can hardly stay any closer to the Parthenon. Other antiquities such as the Ancient Agora, The Temple of Thisseos, the Tower of Winds are either right next door, down the street or just around the corner. When you step out the front door... turn left, turn right.. It doesn't matter.. you will take in the view of an ancient, historical site.

Although the home offers a covered garage for your automobile, a car is not necessary as the sites you came to Athens to see are within walking distance... and the picturesque Monestiraki Metro Station is less than a three minute walk away.
