Set in an idyllic elevated location with splendid mountain views, this is a lovely double property near the village of Nippos, Apokoronas.
The two detached houses have been lovingly renovated to create 2 dwellings of great character and charm. Wood, stone and tiles blend together making the houses one with their natural setting. Mature trees and gardens add to this peaceful atmosphere.
House 1
One enters through double wooden doors from a wide terrace to a fitted kitchen and dining area with a ceramic tiled floor. The original fireplace and oven have been preserved and the décor of the kitchen gives it a very pleasant country cottage style. From the hallway an original stone arch leads to an office area then to a large, comfortable lounge area with a wood burning stove, and a doorway to the side terrace. From here steps lead up to an upper terrace tiled in pale terracotta. From here one enters the large double bedroom with a tiled floor and a wooden ceiling. A door from this bedroom leads to a single room/box room/dressing room from which opens the large toilet/shower room. From this room there is access to a small side terrace. A spiral staircase leads from the large side terrace to a roof terrace with a fabulous view of the mountains and the surrounding area.
This stone house is painted peach on the outside with blue shutters and inside the use of pastel colours make for a cool, calming atmosphere. All inner doors are wooden and there is air-conditioning in the main bedroom. There is an old well on the front terrace as well as a grapevine and storage underneath.
House 1 is 120M2.

Entering from a wide front terrace, the hallway with its featured stone walls, storage cupboards and curving staircase, gives way on the left to a galley kitchen with sink, hob and fridge unit.
