Set within the heart of the charming village of Elounda, Lasithi, on the island of Crete, Greece, this beautifully restored two-bedroom village home perfectly marries tradition with modern convenience. Radiating authentic Cretan style, the villa is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the owner, who is recognized as one of the finest Greek master stonemasons in the region.
The villa, built with stone and wood, is reminiscent of the enduring Greek rural architecture, while also showcasing the highest-quality materials used throughout. The charming rustic frames paired with unique wooden ceilings contribute to the home's distinctive character.
The 100-square-meter home is spread over two floors. On the ground floor, you will find a generous 21-square-meter room with multiple access points to the front and side yards. Primed to be adapted to your liking, this space could be utilized as a cozy kitchen or transformed into a welcoming living area. Adjacent to this space is an 11.7-square-meter room that could serve as a comfortable bedroom, complete with access to the front yard, and a modern bathroom, equipped with a shower.
An elegantly crafted wooden staircase leads you to the upper floor. Here, you will find a plush double bedroom, complete with a built-in wardrobe and an adjoining bathroom. There's also an additional room that can function as either a kitchen or living room. This level extends to an expansive terrace where you can enjoy panoramic village views.
Adding to the property's allure, an external stairway takes you to a stunning rooftop terrace, equipped with a Jacuzzi offering picturesque vistas of both village and sea. The villa also features a separate entrance via an external stairway, rendering the upper floor fully independent - an ideal setting for a guest apartment.
While the villa is in excellent condition, the kitchen installation is yet to be completed. The new owner can personally shape this according to their taste, with the cost included in the listed property price of 360,000 euros.
