Description
Contemporary “hotel particulier” or private residence that is as unique in its location as it is superlative in its design.
It is directly embraced by the pine forest of Lycabettus Hill along its northern façade - a rare positioning that cannot be duplicated due to the unavailability of any other similar vacant land – yet it adjoins the bustling Kolonaki precinct on the other façade and offers sweeping city skyline and ocean views from the upper levels. The redevelopment of the building was completed in 2007 and the result is simply stunning.
What emerged was a cutting edge, stylistically unique, contemporary 5-storey building who’s 1000 plus square metre space houses three luxurious apartments. The apartment configuration is as follows:
• The Maisonette (Levels 1 and 2), 330(+60m2 office) sq.m maisonette generously occupies the first two levels, linked by a wooden staircase. The spacious living room is on both levels with windows and balconies to the enclosed atrium and private, outdoor garden. On the second level, an opaque blue glass wall separates the dining area from the designer kitchen, fully fitted with Gagenau appliances. The master bedroom has an ensuite wardrobe and bathroom. It opens into the atrium’s Zen oasis, which is surrounded by wooden decking and which encloses a mosaic-tiled swimming pool. There are two additional bedrooms.The maisonette’s flooring is premier quality oak timber throughout. The private garden gate gives direct access into the protected pine forest of Lycabettus Hill. An additional restroom and a storeroom complete the facilities.
• The Executive Apartment (Level 3)of 160 sq.m , An open plan living/ dining and fully-equipped kitchen space leads onto a sunny private terrace, while the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom looks onto the green slopes of Lycabettus.
• The Penthouse (Levels 4 and 5) 200sqm, living room with its balcony, offering a panoramic view of the city in the foreground, the Saronic Gulf in the background and as far away as the Island of Hydra in the distance. Light streams into the internal walkway that overlooks the atrium, the mosaic-tiled swimming pool and the Zen garden, as it leads you to the split-level master bedroom with en-suite bathroom.An elegant,circular internal staircase leads to the fifth floor:from the dining and kitchen areas, the view is that of a city at your feet. The west exit on upper level opens onto a majestic roof garden that houses a barbeque, a sun deck partly shaded by sails, and a mosaic-tiled Jacuzzi looking onto the restful green of the hillside.
