(For Sale) Apartment || N. Corfu/Corfu Town 183 Sq.M, 4 B/R, €1,150,000

For Sale Apartment in the historic center of the city. The building in which the stately residence is located is of pure Venetian Architecture, and its age is estimated to be around 450 years. It is known in the historical records of Corfu as the Mansion of Kakolyris and is situated between the Church of Saint Spyridon and the Church of the Metropolis of Y. T. Spilaioitis (Saint Theodora). The time required to walk to the Liston Square is 2 minutes, while to the Old Courts (parking area of Café Gyali) it is 3 minutes. The majority of the building occupies the entire second floor with the attic (the stately apartment) which is for sale. In the small radius of the historic center of Corfu, it is the only independent mansion building that is ”free” and has a perimeter view. The layout of the apartment has a trapezoidal shape with the longest side at the back, where there is the stone balcony of the second floor approximately 8 meters long which belongs to the two salon rooms of the mansion, while on the same side below the balcony on the first floor there is the external independent marble staircase leading to the large landing - atrium (area approximately 9m2) where the entrance of the first-floor apartment at the rear is located. The stately apartment on the second floor, which has a gross area of 183m2 including the party walls (usable approximately 150m2), has an entrance on the second floor, from the main entrance of the building. The attic, which has an area of 183m2, is calculated separately and has the potential for full independence. It is a property either for personal residence or for investment in tourism, benefiting from the height of the habitable roof and creating smaller apartments with a total area of 300 sq.m. The building is constructed entirely of stone with Venetian Technique and Architecture, Sinio stones and granite, and the bricks used in the relieving arches for structural load reinforcement are solid old ones. The mortar consists of high-content porcelain aggregate, elements that render the building timeless (there is no iron as a component), since the same exact building materials were used by the Venetians for the construction of the Fortresses of Corfu (Old and New). Even the ”aprons” of the windows are stone and not brick, as was commonly done then for convenience. The building has the possibility of installing an elevator, due to the architecture of the load-bearing walls and the fact that the width of the staircase is 2m, a characteristic that is extremely rare in an old building where the width often ranges around 1m. The ceiling height in the second-floor apartment (stately residence) is 4.20m, and in the dining and salon rooms, the ceilings are decorated with paintings estimated to be works of the famous Venetian painter Bizani. The view from the attic from the front side includes the roofs of the neighboring buildings and the bell tower of Saint Spyridon, while from the back side, the bell tower of the Metropolis and panoramic views of the Old Town and the New Fortress can be seen, where a balcony - terrace with classical architectural columns can be created with a privileged - panoramic view.
