Kolonaki — Dove Il Passato Incontra La Moderna Vita Aristocratica Quotidiana

Property ID: 7-563. On one of Athens’ most storied and cosmopolitan avenues, a rare rented gem of refined Athenian elegance awaits on the 3rd floor of a striking 1935 Art Deco building. With soaring 3.80-meter ceilings, unpretentious sophistication, and an abundance of natural light that embraces every wall, this apartment offers an extraordinary blend of architectural gravitas, timeless charm, and functional grace.

The Space. Spanning a generous 150 sqm, this residence is the very definition of comfort and presence. Cross-ventilated, atmospheric, and cleverly arranged, it offers both stature and serenity. 2 spacious bedrooms overlooking a bright inner courtyard. Potential to configure a third bedroom between the kitchen and living room. Grand living and dining room with a distinct foyer and custom wall installation — a statement of craftsmanship. Expansive kitchen with full-height custom white cabinetry, black granite countertops, new fixtures, and appliance-ready layout. Additional storage area/hallway between kitchen and living room — ideal for tableware, books, or display. Luxurious, fully renovated main bathroom with glossy granite-effect tiles, concealed cistern, heated towel rail, and high-tech fixtures. Second WC, pristine in classic white. Dedicated service entrance with access to a bright, auxiliary room (formerly staff quarters). Oversized loft storage area. Built-in wardrobes with hydraulic lift system for garments and outerwear.

Aesthetic and Atmosphere.
Original wooden entrance door, designer-grade port-manteau, solid timber double-glazed windows, and electric shutters — all preserved or renewed with care. And above all… that intangible quality.

The ambiance.
The kind of elegance that isn’t manufactured but flows organically from proportions, materials, and spatial harmony.

The Location.
Situated in the most tranquil and picturesque part of Kolonaki — away from the bustle, yet rich in urban poetry. The apartment overlooks the historic Marasleio Didaskaleio, a landmark of Greek educational and architectural heritage, surrounded by stately neoclassical buildings, cultural institutions, and cinematic corners of the city.
