The property is a unique opportunity to acquire a mansion that dates from the beginning of the interwar period, in a beautiful neighborhood just outside and east of the city center of Chania. It is a two-level stone building that has been configured into three independent apartments, two of which are currently leased. A luxury apartment occupies the upper floor while downstairs there are one that has not been configured and one that is inhabited.

The building dates from 1920. It was extended in 1972 and recently new aluminum frames were installed on both floors, a new roof while several modernization works were done mainly upstairs. The two levels of the building have opposite orientations so that they exit to different sides of the plot and are completely independent. The plot has a building ratio of 1 upon its area, which allows you to further expand the existing spaces or build a completely new apartment building. As it currently is, the property has enough free space for a garden and courtyards while with some modifications you can easily add a private parking space or even a swimming pool.

One of the lower apartments needs renovation but is habitable. Its interior includes a living room, separate kitchen, two bedrooms and a main bathroom. The second apartment of the ground floor is adjacent to it and therefore they can be very easily connected and you may add one or two additional rooms. The ground floor is connected to the central heating while the beautiful terrazzo floors have been preserved and if you highlight them properly you can have an impressive and luxurious result.

This has been done exactly in the upper apartment. All its spaces have terrazzo floors with small tesserae while the wooden ceiling from the era in which the building was constructed has been highlighted excellently. This combination together with the high ceilings and the large openings that let in plenty of light creates a high quality final result that is difficult to find in any modern apartment. Upstairs, we find an extremely large living room, which is two-roomed, as was common in the past, so that an additional living room can be added. The kitchen with the dining area is located separately at the back while there are three large bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a main bathroom with a bathtub and a second WC for guests with a shower. Before the entrance there is a beautiful fenced courtyard while on the back north side there are balconies all around with views, which in some areas reaches the sea in the background.

The property offers great potential in the future and constitutes an excellent investment. The property is also an excellent investment even as a plot, as the upper floors in the future will definitely have beautiful views. The neighborhood is family-friendly and has not been spoiled by the tourist growth of the city, although it is a short walk from the seaside neighborhood of Tabakaria as well as a few steps from the new archaeological museum. Within a short walk you will find everything you need for your daily living. The Court House Square ("Dikastiria") is about 1 km from the point and the central Market Square ("Agora") about 1500 m.
