Description

This property is a fantastic renovation opportunity just a short walk from the heart of Plaka village, with beautiful sea views and lots of potential to create something special. The house is currently habitable, but it does require a full modern update throughout, including new insulation, flooring, kitchen, bathrooms, and mechanical systems.

The main house is laid out as a bungalow and offers two bedrooms and one bathroom, along with a large open-plan living space that combines the lounge, kitchen, and dining area. There is also an elevated enclosed balcony that is currently being used as an extra room and could easily be converted into a third bedroom, home office, or guest room. The house still contains the owner's belongings, but everything will be completely cleared before the property is handed over.

Below the main house, there is a lower-level storage area (apothiki) with a small additional toilet. This space has excellent potential to be used as a utility area, extra storage, or even as support space for a future swimming pool. In front of this level, the garden enjoys outstanding sea views and would be a perfect spot for outdoor seating, dining, and entertaining.

The plot measures 335.63 sqm and is surrounded by garden space, including mature grape vines that are still productive. There is room to add a swimming pool, subject to the necessary permits, and the remaining building allowance of up to 240 sqm offers plenty of flexibility to extend the house or add extra accommodation if desired.

The property comes with central heating, air-conditioning units, a solar water heating system, and internet connection, although all systems are older and would benefit from replacement as part of the renovation. A full refurbishment is required, and renovation costs are expected to start from around �100,000, depending on the level of finish and design choices.

Overall, this is a rare chance to create a high-quality sea-view home in one of Plaka's most sought-after locations. With the village center within walking distance, space for a pool, and the potential to turn it into a comfortable three-bedroom home, this property offers a great balance of location, views, and long-term value for the right buyer with vision.
