Description
Occupying the fifth floor of an elegant period building in the heart of Kolonaki, Wellington is a penthouse residence that combines the proportions and character of a classic Athenian apartment with the comfort of a recent renovation. Positioned above one of the city's most established neighbourhoods, the residence enjoys a sense of privacy and openness rarely found in central Athens, while remaining closely connected to the cultural and social life of the district.
Extending across 230 sqm (2,476 sq.ft.), the apartment unfolds through a sequence of generously proportioned living spaces arranged around large openings and surrounding terraces. High ceilings, carefully preserved architectural details and a thoughtful use of natural materials create a calm residential atmosphere throughout. The layout allows natural light to reach deep into the interior, while the scale of the rooms reflects the architectural confidence associated with Kolonaki's most distinguished residential buildings.
The principal living and reception areas form the heart of the residence, opening directly onto expansive terraces that surround much of the apartment. This relationship between interior and exterior space creates a rare sense of continuity within the city centre, allowing the residence to feel both connected to Athens and removed from its intensity. From the terraces, views extend towards Lycabettus Hill and across the rooftops of central Athens, with glimpses of the Acropolis visible in the distance.
The private accommodation comprises two bedrooms, including a spacious principal suite, together with two bathrooms. A separate rooftop room with its own en suite bathroom provides additional flexibility for guest accommodation, staff quarters or a private workspace. Throughout these areas, the architecture maintains a sense of quiet elegance, balancing generous circulation spaces with a more intimate residential scale.
The kitchen and supporting service areas have been integrated discreetly within the overall layout, preserving the flow between the principal living spaces while supporting the practical requirements of daily life. Additional features include natural gas heating, central VRV air conditioning, double-glazed windows with electric shutters and insect screens, an alarm system, boiler, reinforced security doors and two storage rooms.
Located on one of Kolonaki's prominent residential streets, Wellington sits within walking distance of galleries, museums, cafés, boutiques and many of Athens' principal cultural landmarks. The residence combines the architectural character of a classic Athenian penthouse with substantial outdoor living space and open city views, creating a home that remains deeply connected to the rhythm of central Athens while retaining a notable sense of privacy above it.
