This emblematic building is located in a central area of Chania city. It is a detached residence, which has been configured into a mixed-use building and comprises a commercial property with offices on the ground floor, an apartment on the upper floor and two apartments in the basement. The building is of excellent urban architecture and has a central entrance with Ionic columns and a balcony, pilasters on the corners and the openings, central pediment on the roof and other interesting elements. The property has been listed by the Central Council of Modern Monuments and is protected. In fact, this means you can modify the functionality of the building and reconfigure its interior but you cannot, of course, demolish or modify its frontages. The property has an interesting history and has been used as the headquarters of the German police, during the Second World War.

The plot is spacious and there is plenty of space, in order to construct a pool and a garden or to extend the parking space. On the rear side, there are currently a yard and storage spaces of a total area of 38 m² while in the front there is covered parking with a pergola. The ground floor is elevated and a central staircase leads to a covered terrace and to the main entrance. Inside there is a wide central corridor that leads to all the spaces as well as to the impressive wooden staircase, which leads to the top floor. The ground floor is used as a doctor's office and has a WC, a waiting room and three additional large spaces. Upstairs, we find a large apartment. The layout is the same as the ground floor, where a central corridor also leads to all rooms. In total, there are three bedrooms, a two-room bathroom, a living room and a large kitchen with many windows. There are also large balconies on the front and the back side. The two upper floors have high wooden ceilings, hand-crafted wooden doors and beautiful floors.

The basement has independent access from the courtyard but there is also an internal staircase, which is closed and used as a storage room. Here, we find two spacious apartments. One is two-roomed while the other is quite larger and has two spacious bedrooms. At the same level, there are the storage rooms of the property that can very easily become one more studio, in order to have a significant income from a total of three apartments.

The purchase of the property constitutes a strategic investment and is ideal for a boutique hotel or any other professional or residential use. The areas are large, which allows you to separate them in several extra rooms. The road that passes in front has enough traffic and the area is of high commercial interest. Within walking distance, there are all kinds of shops and services. The region also offers great potential, in the future. It is situated between the Venetian Harbor and the area of Chalepa, where the new archaeological museum is being built and the development of the seaside area of Tabakaria, which only recently has been listed, is expected.
