This charming 2-bedroom home is a masterpiece of restoration, with a total area of 66m² that has been crafted with love and care by the current owner. The entrance is located at the back of the house, where you are welcomed into a spacious and light-filled open plan living and kitchen area. The custom-built kitchen, designed by a skilled local craftsman, boasts top-notch appliances including a double sink, gas stove, and a dishwasher. The floors and ceilings are adorned with beautiful wooden boards that add warmth and character to the space. A conveniently located downstairs WC is found under the bespoke wooden staircase which also features built-in cupboards that provide extra storage. The washing machine is also located here, making it easy to take care of laundry.
The staircase leads to the upper level, where you will find a generous main bedroom with built-in wardrobes and breathtaking views of Gavalochori valley and the White Mountains, which are draped in snow during winter. A second bedroom can also be found on this level, which would be perfect for an office space or guest room. The stunning handmade wooden doors slide open to create additional space. The bathroom is fitted with a bathtub and shower and features a custom-built sink with incredible views of the courtyard and the white mountains. French doors open onto a proposed balcony at the top of the stairs, providing an excellent outdoor space for entertaining guests while enjoying the panoramic views of the valley and the mountains.
The outdoor space is equally impressive, with a gravel courtyard that is low-maintenance and boasts garden beds filled with an array of Mediterranean plants. The courtyard is perfect for private dining in the evening while enjoying views of the adjacent stone ruins. The property boundary continues around to the left, where a further 50m² of land is surrounded by a ruin, perfect for a future project such as an extra guest room or summer house.
The house features traditional stone features around each window and door, adding to its timeless charm. The large wooden windows allow plenty of natural light to flood the space, creating a feeling of spaciousness. All windows and doors are fitted with fly screens throughout the property. Solar hot water is conveniently located on the roof, and a flat roof has been installed for a future roof garden/terrace with stunning views of Souda Bay and the Mediterranean.
This property is truly unique, with a perfect blend of traditional features and modern conveniences. It’s an ideal low-maintenance home for a couple or a ‘lock up and leave’ holiday home. Its proximity to the beach and the village of Gavalochori make it an excellent opportunity to own a beautiful property in a stunning location.
