MAIN HOUSE - The main house has two entrances. The front entrance has a gated entrance and garage, which opens onto the N17 road. The back entrance provides easy access to both outbuildings and a short walk to the main house. In the upstairs of the main house, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms, each with its own window, a cozy open-plan living room/kitchen area. The kitchen has been recently upgraded. By the back entrance of the house, you will find a bathroom with a shower. Downstairs has an entertainment area with a kitchenette and a large storage room, which could easily be converted into an additional living space.
ANNEX 1 - Leaving the house, it is a quick walk to the larger outbuilding. This is a perfect space for extended family or guests or for a private office. When you enter, it is through the kitchen, which leads into a quaint dining area. This annex includes one large bedroom, a bathroom with a shower, and a cozy living area with a functional fireplace. The building has electricity and water, making it ideal for additional accommodations. In the front, there is parking and an entrance to the property from the shared driveway.
Please note that this annex is presently registered as storage area and would require a habitation license. To make it a guest house, it would require for a project to be approved by the town council.
ANNEX 2 - The smaller annex, located behind the larger outbuilding consists of two spacious rooms, perfect for storage. It also has electricity and water, with one room already equipped with a laundry hook-up, adding practicality and versatility to the property.
RUIN - The ruin, though currently not functional, provides an opportunity for a creative renovation project. It consists of a few brick walls and offers plenty of potential for expansion or a charming restoration. The two outbuildings and ruin can be legalized, and the investment will be reflected in the sale price in the future.
PROPERTY - The property itself is gently sloped and features numerous mature trees, including fruit trees (i.e., olive, orange, lemon, fig, and grape). From the N17 road, the front entrance leads along a cement pathway to the one-car garage, while the back entrance is accessible via a shared driveway that leads directly to the largest outbuilding. A small pergola and another seating area in the backyard offers wonderful spots to relax. The property is fully fenced in and there is a third entrance at the very back of the property.
