In need of renovation

Entering the home feels like stepping into a hidden paradise surrounded by stone walls. The loggia, the home’s most captivating feature, offers a framed view of the island inland, with vibrant scenes of houses stretching up to the tree line and Profitis Elias. A spacious fertile garden for growing vegetables adds rustic appeal to this prestigious home. This real estate is ideal for artistic souls who revel in the beauty of everyday life and the authenticity of a serene environment.

From the street, you enter a covered, square loggia terrace with an outdoor bathroom on one side and the main house entrance on the other. This loggia is sure to become a favorite spot to sit and watch the activity across the valley.

From the loggia, you enter a spacious traditional reception hall with a double-sized living room on one side and the first bedroom on the other. Opposite the entrance door is the second bedroom, which leads to the third bedroom on one side and the kitchen on the other. The bedrooms are separated by floor-to-ceiling cupboards, creating a suite of rooms. The kitchen is accessible from the living room and it’s big enough to be used as a comfortable dining room.

Across the reception hall, opposite the living room is a third bedroom which overlooks the cisterna terrace of the garden and the views of Profitis Ilias above the pine forest.

In the garden, which can be accessed from the loggia, kitchen, or street-side gate, there is a small one-bedroom apartment featuring a living room, kitchen, and shower.

Neighbourhood

Located in the quiet area of Four Corners, just one level above the main street going down to Kamini Harbor, this real estate for sale provides privacy and tranquility. The whole area is inhabited by expats permanently living on the island and local Hydraiot families, so you’ll see only local neighbors passing by.

The closest grocery store is a well-known Four Corners Supermarket, where you can buy all the necessary supplies. This prestigious real estate is within walking distance of two excellent restaurants: Pirofani Taverna on the way down to Kamini Harbor, and Techne Restaurant, nestled over the hill and down into Avlaki.

Observations

Traditional Stone House could be a very serene home. I would remove the 20th-century modernization and renovate the property to echo the style of the 18th century as faithfully as possible. The beautiful home’s construction deserves to be preserved.

Undoubtedly, renovating this prestigious real estate will require a certain investment. To begin with, the roof tiles and some of the wooden beams will need replacement. Additionally, you’ll need to hire a skilled carpenter to repair some beadboard ceilings.

The slight imperfection of this real estate for sale is the absence of an internal bathroom, which most people often want to have. Fortunately, there is a bathroom in the covered loggia, providing a good starting point. Additionally, both street corners of the property are conveniently close to connection points for all utilities.
