Apartamento T3 Τενέδου 38, Αθήνα 11361, Fokionos Negri, Kipseli

Pared back and restored to its original interwar-style elegance, this three-bedroom home occupies the entire first floor of the building. The apartment comprises three bedrooms, a living area across two interconnected spaces, a kitchen, a bathroom with bath, and a generously sized storage space. It has windows on both street fronts and three balconies, including one which wraps around the corner of the building. The original marble finishes, terrazzo floors and timber-framed windows with louvred shutters have been carefully restored. The apartment has been built with textural materials using traditional craftsmanship and respected local tradespeople. Sikinou Three-Bed Apartment is on the first floor of an interwar-style building in Kypseli, recently refurbished in collaboration with London-based architects Royffe Flynn. The ground floor was built in 1922 for a couple as their first home, with the first floor added in 1940 and the second floor in 1960 for their family. It is one of four apartments in the building, with shared access to a rooftop terrace and laundry. The apartment is in the lively Athenian neighbourhood of Kypseli, around the corner from Kypseli’s busy and lovely tree-lined pedestrian square, Fokionos Negri, occupied by small cafés, restaurants, bars and shops. It is a 10-minute walk from Agiou Georgiou Square, well-known for its tavernas and local bars, and one of Athens’s largest public parks, Pedion tou Areos. The weekly farmers market happens on Sikinou every Tuesday, where you can find locally grown fruit and vegetables and homemade sweets.
