Villa unifamiliare Eleftherias, 242 00 Messini, Centro, Messini

http://****.** Set on a generous corner plot in Messini, this 255-square-metre residence sits at the quiet edge of town — surrounded by ancient olive groves, with unobstructed views toward the Taygetos mountains. The house was built in 1998 and has been thoughtfully maintained, with key systems upgraded in recent years: a fully remodeled bathroom, new heat pump, split-system air conditioning throughout the principal rooms, and a resealed roof. Two finished levels of living space offer room to spread out, with a full-height above-ground basement below ready to be completed. Marble floors and wrought-iron detailing run throughout. The curved balconies — a signature of the building's form — wrap the upper floors and frame panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. From the rooftop terrace, the sweep extends from mountain ridgelines to the rooftops of the town below. Messini itself is a quiet working town with everything you need — markets, cafés, schools, medical facilities — without the tourist-season inflation of the coast. Yet the coast is close: the Messinian Gulf's Blue Flag beaches are a five-kilometre drive. Kalamata International Airport is a six-kilometre drive — under ten minutes from the front door. The property offers significant expansion potential beyond its current 255 sqm. The 127-sqm basement level is fully built out structurally — concrete, walls, services — but remains unfinished. It sits above ground with windows at the rear and a full-width garage opening at the front that could be converted to floor-to-ceiling glazing. Finishing it would add a complete lower-floor living space, guest suite, or independent apartment with minimal structural work. Additionally, up to 75 sqm may be added at roof level, subject to local planning permissions — buyers should confirm entitlements independently. Combined with the finished basement, this could bring the total living area to over 450 sqm. For buyers thinking about income generation, the combination of a finished basement apartment and the proximity to Kalamata Airport makes short-term rental a practical option.
