The street entrance to this property in Hydra is shared with two other properties. Once down a short flight of steps from the entrance and through the gate, you reach this charming house for sale. It overlooks a good-sized garden and features a small flat-roofed outside bathroom and apothiki (storage room), perfect for setting up a table and chairs to watch the sunset over Dokos Island.

From the garden, you enter an L-shaped apartment. A double bedroom with fitted wardrobes is at one end of the living room, while the kitchen is located at the right angle of the L-shaped space. The bathroom is located off the kitchen end of the living room. Very simple, clean, with character, and easy to move into and live as it is without making any changes.

The main terrace is made with beautiful red stone from Dokos, featuring the garden on one side of it. At the end of the terrace, there is a huge flight of entrance steps leading. The funny part is that they are leading to nowhere.

Originally, this one and neighboring houses were part of a much larger building that fell into disuse. Over generations, the properties were divided, leaving the grand set of stairs isolated and unused. A flat roof at the top of the stairs is the ceiling of the bathroom in the short length of the L-shaped apartment. Below the stairs, accessible from the bathroom, is a storage area with a sloping ceiling due to its position.

As you walk out of the apartment door, you look across the red Dokos terrace at three small multi-level terraces. One of these terraces has a small outbuilding that was originally used as a toilet for the property. It is situated next to the garden.

The garden is flat and has a square shape. It was a very productive vegetable garden for years, but now it’s left go fallow. Luckily, it could be brought back to life very easily.
