An Aristocratic 1920s Heritage Residence in the Heart of Athens

In the heart of Athens, a rare architectural ”gem” from 1927 awaits, seamlessly transporting the glamour of the interwar period into the modern era. This property occupies the entire first floor of an imposing two-story residence, spanning a total of 130 sq.m., where timeless elegance meets limitless potential. The experience begins with a magnificent wooden staircase that leads to a series of stately, high-ceilinged rooms (3.70 meters in height), which are bathed in natural light thanks to the oversized windows along the facade.

The layout is both grand and functional, featuring a spacious entrance hall, two large reception areas overlooking the street, and three well-appointed bedrooms. The kitchen serves dual purpose as a bright dining area, while the residence is complemented by a main bathroom, a large storage room with the potential to be converted into a second bathroom, and a charming attic accessible via an internal staircase.

The outdoor spaces offer a rare oasis of tranquility, including a veranda overlooking the rear garden and a rooftop studio with exclusive terrace access. Crucially, the property comes with additional building rights, providing significant investment opportunities for expansion. While the residence requires renovation to fully restore its unique identity, it stands as an invaluable ”blank canvas”—ideal for those seeking a high-end historic home or a flagship investment property in the center of the capital.

Lying in the foot and in close distance to Lycabettus hill, Exarcheia is located right in the heart of Athens neighboring Syntagma, the Historical Center and Kolonaki.

Unique features: Exarcheia is a vibrant area full of vinyl record stores, bookshops, publishing shops, Universities, libraries, a community-created park, artful graffiti, cool bars, small restaurants with local food and coffee shops . It can be a great place to explore, with its quirky stores, picturesque small alleys, some of the most beautiful neoclassical architecture buildings, and a probably edgy yet vibrant cultural vibe. With a distinctly different vibe to any other part of town, Exarcheia has retained its old Greek charm while welcoming in a new artistic crowd. Neighboring Kolonaki area and just a few meters away from Syntagma square it is one of the most appealing areas in the city center. Exarcheia is rising up to a new era, becoming a sought after neighborhood of Athens.

Accessibility: Extremely well-connected by 3 surrounding metro stations plus a new metro line scheduled to stop right in the center of the area. Bus services and trolleys connect Exarcheia to the rest of Athens. The airport is 50 minutes to an hour away by express train and direct buses while the surrounding avenues make it an easily accessible destination from other areas.

Investment potential: Its central on combined with the Universities of the area plus the upcoming new metro line make it an ideal area for investment.
