This is a very special house, as it has been owned for a long time by an old sea man, and therefore many elements are still in the original state. It was a luxury house when it was built, because it is significantly bigger than most of the town houses built in that era, and it has an internal staircase, while most houses were a lot smaller and connected with an outside staircase. It has a spacious courtyard with two entrances to two different side streets. The courtyard, overgrown with a grapevine is a haven of tranquility. The bathroom is still outside, but was renovated and is in a good condition. The entrance leads to a hall with the kitchen on the left side and the living room on the right side. The kitchen still holds many original elements like the tiles and the stove and the wooden double doors. The living room has a fire place and a connection with the cellar where the original pots for storing water and oil are located. The staircase is unique, as it is Y shaped, and leads to the main bedroom on the one side, and the two smaller bedrooms on the other side. The main bedroom is spacious with many windows and a balcony on the court yard side. The one smaller bedroom has a balcony too, the other one has two windows and a fire place. The house is in a very good condition, and just needs a cosmetic treatment. It would be possible to build a bathroom inside. The area is very nice, it is a bit uphill in the older part of town close to Agia Triada. It takes 5 minutes to walk to Papadiamanti Street. The bus-stop is close too. The house is sold with its furniture, and holds some nice original Greek closets |
