Plaka Persefone

This well-maintained, brick-built property offers 196m² of accommodation on a 510m² plot, arranged over two levels, dating from 1995 and completely renovated in 2017. The property comprises four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with the lower level configured as an independent apartment, making it particularly versatile for family living or hosting guests.
INTERIOR
The upper floor opens into a bright and spacious living area featuring wooden flooring, a fireplace, central heating and air conditioning, with large glass sliding windows allowing plenty of natural light into the room and offering stunning views towards the sea. The living room flows naturally towards the dining area, while a separate, modern kitchen is positioned to the side and features a breakfast bar and a full range of appliances, including a dishwasher, washing machine, American fridge, a double oven and gas hob with 6 burners. The same level also includes a generous master bedroom with a dressing area, a modern shower room with a wall-to-wall semi-glass shower panel and a towel rail, as well as a separate WC and a small storage room. One step divides the living area from the rest of the floor, and the sliding doors give access to a tiled, spacious terrace with sea view.
A staircase leads down to the lower floor, which forms a separate and very useful apartment, and has been adapted for wheelchair use and benefits from a ramp. At the entrance is a lovely stone terrace, creating a pleasant outdoor area and welcoming entrance to the accommodation. The apartment opens into a spacious open-plan kitchen, living and dining area. The room provides a comfortable and versatile living space, with a small office corner and a useful storage/workshop area. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a washing machine. To the left, a hallway leads to three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. All three bedrooms are good-sized double rooms, with one of the bedrooms being an internal room without windows. The master bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, complete with a glass shower cubicle. The shower room has been adapted for wheelchair accessibility. The family bathroom has a built-in shower with a glass panel.
This separate lower-floor apartment provides excellent additional accommodation and could be ideal for visiting family and friends, older children or guests, while also offering potential for independent living or rental use. The property is fitted with air conditioning throughout, a heat pump for the top floor and air-conditioning for the lower floor, solar panels and an immersion heater. New insulation has been installed on the roof terrace and on the façade as well as the installation of new aluminum windows.
Most of the furniture is included in the sale.
EXTERIOR
The property is set within a fully walled plot with a beautifully landscaped, mature (and small) garden featuring a few established trees, lush planting and a flowering bougainvillea. The outdoor spaces are carefully maintained and include a 15m² swimming pool with a depth of 1.50m and with a counter-current swimming system, complemented by pool rails. A particularly attractive feature is the spacious roof terrace, which enjoys sea and mountain views and provides several covered outdoor areas. This would be the perfect space for wining and dining, and relaxing while enjoying the views - creating comfortable spaces for outdoor use.
The property also benefits from a parking area, electric entrance gate opening to the tiled parking area, external taps and two reserve water tanks. The roof terrace is accessed by external metal stairs.
