The Artist's House

In the heart of Parikia, hidden within the charming whitewashed alleyways of the island’s capital, this exceptional 230 sq.m. property offers a rare blend of history, artistry, and opportunity.

Built in 1920 and carefully renovated in recent years, the property sits on a 320 sq.m. plot and unfolds around a beautiful private courtyard filled with greenery, pergolas, and a small fountain. Entering through an antique wooden door from one of Parikia’s picturesque lanes, you immediately arrive in this enchanting garden, a peaceful oasis at the center of town.

From the courtyard, a staircase leads to the upper floor, where the residential part of the property unfolds. A welcoming terrace serves as an outdoor gathering space and leads into a rustic wooden kitchen centered around a large dining table. Original 18th century cabinet doors add a sense of history and craftsmanship. Belgian style glass doors connect the kitchen to a spacious living room, where an antique fireplace is beautifully integrated into an extensive wooden library. A small balcony overlooks the traditional alleyway below, connecting the house to the rhythm of village life.

Continuing through the upper floor, the generous bedroom offers warmth and character, with wooden floors and direct access to a large private terrace filled with plants and seating areas. Adjacent to the bedroom is a beautifully designed bathroom featuring green marble from Tinos and an antique marble basin.

Returning to the ground floor, the property currently features a large professional kitchen, a fully equipped professional bar area, two spacious rooms presently used as storage spaces, and guest WC facilities. The property benefits from an existing restaurant license, offering considerable flexibility for future owners who may wish to continue a hospitality concept or develop an entirely new vision for the space.

Throughout the property, every corner reflects creativity, artistic expression, and a deep appreciation for design. The layout allows for multiple possibilities, with spaces that can be adapted into additional bedrooms, guest accommodation, studios, galleries, offices, or hospitality areas according to the buyer’s needs. Due to its central location within Parikia, there is also the potential to explore the creation of a swimming pool within the courtyard, subject to the necessary approvals.

Parikia is the vibrant heart of Paros and one of the few places on the island that remains active throughout the year. From the property, everything is within easy walking distance. The waterfront, beaches, cafés, restaurants, bakeries, boutiques, shops, and the port can all be reached within minutes. During the winter months, the town continues to offer a lively atmosphere, making it an ideal location for both permanent living and year round business activity.

Please note that the property is offered for sale without the furniture, artworks, decorative objects, and personal collections currently displayed throughout the house.

Properties of this character rarely become available in the historic center of Parikia. Combining architectural heritage, commercial potential, and an extraordinary artistic atmosphere, this is a truly unique opportunity to create something special at the very center of island life.
