Single-family detached house Επιχάρμου 11, Αθήνα 10558, Plaka, Athens Historic Center

Hidden on a charming pedestrian street of Plaka, this 2 storey 147m2 house exhudes history, tradition and just pure old charm.  A mere 12 minutes walk from Syntagma Square and all the conveniences of the city center, this property offers the best of both world: a calm authentic retreat  in the very heart of urban Athens. The house was totally redone in 2005, including foundations.  As a result, ancient vestiges were found and the owners were allowed to keep them and display them within the house structure adding a unique  element to the property . The house is in 2 levels with a large, beautiful, and flowery courtyard in the middle. Both floors are connected with outdoor and indoor staircases.  The bottom level has 2 bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and 2 bathrooms, as well as a small kitchen  ( one bedroom and bathroom can be made practically independent if wished) .  The top level has a very wide living space including an open kitchen, a dining area and a sitting area as well as a guest bathroom. This area is large enough to include an office corner or an extra sleeping corner .  On this level there is yet another outdoor space: a comfortable large and wonderful terrace. A versatile house with plenty of outdoor space in the heart of Athens and yet tucked away in time.
