This comfortable and spacious home in an affluent suburb of Athens was planned and built to satisfy even the most discerning buyer. It consists of two large apartments on the second and third floors with stair and elevator access. All rooms in both apartments are oversized, and the bedrooms have richly finished wood floors and full-wall closets. Each apartment contains three large bedrooms, two comfortable marble baths, a separate laundry room, a very functional kitchen with a cozy gathering area and fireplace, and a spacious, sunny open living room and dining room with marble floors, high ceilings, and a second marble fireplace. The home is heated throughout, and the upper kitchen and master bedroom are equipped with efficient split-system remote control air conditioning units. All hallways are extra-wide for comfortable flow from space to space, and the beautiful wrap-around balcony has plenty of room for dining with a view of mount Penteli.

The property is located a few hundred meters from a major underground metro and regional transit hub, making the commute to Athens a breeze. It is a block or two away from two major supermarkets, a grocery shop, a bakery, a pharmacy, and an elementary school. The perimeter is fenced and the garden is full of fruit trees, palm trees, rose and jasmine bushes, a water fountain, and plenty of room for a spice garden. The ground level private garage has an automatic garage door and space for three or four cars. There is also a large storage space in the basement.

In addition to the above, local zoning law will allow two additional stories to be built over the existing two, and provisions have been made for this addition in the structural concrete frame of the home, in the stair tower, and in the elevator cab.

The home is available for sale with or without furniture
