Description

In the heart of one of the most historic neighborhoods of Athens, where the Plato's Academy still whispers ideas in the air, a single-family home with a unique soul emerges. Built in 1917 and fully renovated in 2018, in an authentic Belle Époque style, this house is more than just a property — it is a living embodiment of history and aesthetics. On two levels and 150 square meters, with high-ceilinged spaces, authentic architectural elements and a garden with an arbor that covers the midday hours with shade and the evenings with poetry, this single-family home is not just for living — it is for experiencing. Located in a quiet spot in Kolonos, next to the city but not in its chaos. A breath away from the National Road, the cultural routes and the hidden taverns of old Athens, it offers privileged access to everything, without sacrificing tranquility. This residence is ideal for those looking for a romantic retreat, but also for visionary investors who would like to transform the space into a boutique residence, a cultural hangout or a special tourist destination. A residence that is not described with numbers but with lyrics. A space that is not just inhabited — it falls in love.

The neighborhood of Plato's Academy spans the area between the southwestern side of Lenorman Street and Athens Avenue. It borders to the north-northeast with Kolokynthou and Kolonos and to the south with Metaxourgeio, Votanikos, and Prophet Daniel. Unique features: Plato's Academy is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Athens, distinguished by a particularly illustrious past. The area enjoys everything the city has to offer, all within close proximity and very near to all public transportation. The new Archaeological Museum of Athens will be established in Plato's Academy and is set to be the first "green" archaeological museum in Greece. It will be bioclimatic and have a zero environmental footprint, while offering unobstructed access to people with disabilities. This building, which will house the archaeological museum of the city of Athens, will cover an area of 14,362 sq.m. Additionally, as part of the enhancement of Plato's Academy by the municipality of Athens, the redevelopment of the green space is planned with the creation of a park under terms of sustainability. The new museum will host thousands of unique findings from excavations in various areas of Athens over the past decades and findings from metro excavations. The country's first "green" museum aims, along with the surrounding area, to become an international hub for the development of scientific, artistic, and broader cultural activities, highlighting Athens' timeless metropolitan role from antiquity to the present day. Accessibility: Plato's Academy is located just a few kilometers from the center of Athens. In close proximity is the Kifisos KTEL and it is served by the metro stations Metaxourgeio, Kerameikos, and Sepolia. Investment Dynamics: This area is located right in the center of Athens, a region that always has great interest from buyers with guaranteed returns on investment.
