Royale

Positioned on the fourth floor of a distinguished residential building between the National Gardens and the Kallimarmaro Stadium, this apartment occupies one of the most established addresses in central Athens. The location combines the quiet character of a historic residential neighbourhood with immediate access to Kolonaki, the Presidential Mansion and many of the city’s cultural institutions, allowing daily life to unfold largely on foot.

Extending across approximately 273 sqm (2,939 sq.ft.), the residence is defined by its generous proportions, natural light and carefully preserved architectural character. High ceilings and broad openings create a strong sense of volume throughout, while the apartment’s orientation allows sunlight to move gradually through the interiors from morning until late afternoon. The layout unfolds through a sequence of interconnected living spaces that balance formality with comfort, creating a home that feels equally suited to everyday living and more ceremonial occasions.

The principal reception areas occupy the most prominent position within the apartment, opening towards broad terraces with views across the surrounding rooftops towards Lycabettus Hill. Original proportions, elegant detailing and a restrained material palette contribute to an atmosphere of quiet refinement rather than overt grandeur. Throughout the residence, the architectural language remains consistent, preserving the character of a classic Athenian apartment while accommodating contemporary living requirements.

A secondary sitting room provides a more private and intimate area within the home, creating a natural separation between the principal reception spaces and quieter daily routines. The apartment’s circulation is particularly well resolved, allowing the various living areas to remain connected while maintaining a sense of distinction and privacy.

The kitchen has been renovated in a contemporary style that integrates comfortably within the wider residence. Positioned to benefit from abundant natural light and direct access to a secondary balcony, it functions as a practical everyday space while maintaining continuity with the apartment’s overall sense of proportion and openness.

Accommodation comprises four bedrooms arranged within a quieter wing of the property. Each benefits from direct access to outdoor space, reinforcing the connection between the interior and the surrounding cityscape. The principal suite occupies a particularly generous footprint, while the remaining bedrooms are well balanced and thoughtfully positioned to create privacy from the reception areas.

Terraces and balconies extend around much of the apartment, forming an integral part of the living experience rather than serving as secondary outdoor spaces. From the principal veranda, views extend towards Lycabettus Hill, while mature trees and neighbouring period buildings contribute to the layered urban character of central Athens. As the light softens towards evening, the outlook across the city becomes increasingly calm, reinforcing the residential atmosphere that has long defined this part of the capital.

The apartment is distinguished by its scale, proportion and architectural integrity, retaining the character of old Athens while functioning comfortably as a contemporary city residence in one of the capital’s most enduring neighbourhoods.
