3 Bed House for sale
Sitia, Lasithi, Crete, Greece
Full Description
Perched on the third and fourth floors of a centrally located building with elevator access, this two-storey penthouse features 160 sq.m. While the property currently needs a modern update, its architectural bones and sweeping sea views provide a perfect foundation for a high-end coastal residence.
The lower level is defined by a sophisticated two-level open-plan design. This layout creates a natural flow between two distinct living areas, a dedicated dining space, and the kitchen, making it an ideal environment for entertaining and everyday living. This floor is rounded out by practical essentials, including a guest WC and a separate storage and laundry room. Both the living areas and the kitchen open onto spacious balconies with pergolas.
The upper floor (accessed via internal spiral marble staircase) serves as a quiet retreat, housing three bedrooms and two bathrooms. This level grants access to the private roof terrace. Whether you envision a sun-drenched garden or a starlit lounge, this outdoor space offers a level of privacy and perspective that is hard to find in town.
Beyond its use as a grand family home, this penthouse offers a unique "hidden" advantage. The layout is perfectly suited for conversion into two separate units. With a bit of reconfiguration, the lower level could easily become a self-contained two-bedroom apartment, offering incredible flexibility for rental income or multi-generational living.
Sitia is an attractive seaside town. White-washed houses cling to a hillside laced by steep staircases and topped with a ruined Venetian castle. Below, a promenade lined with tavernas and cafes hems in the fishing harbour.
It?s a slow-paced, friendly place where agriculture is the mainstay of the local economy.
A long, sandy beach skirts a wide bay to the east of town.
Sitia has a small airport with daily flights to and from Athens and a few charter flights from Europe during the summer. The international airport of Heraklion is 2 hours by car.
The port has ferry connections to Piraeus and other islands of the Cyclades and Dodecanese.
