Mun. unit of Chania, Chania, Crete

• Bedrooms: 8
• Bathrooms: 2

The property is in the center of Chania city, approximately 800 m southwest of the Market Square ("Agora"). It is a two-level stone building that consists of a ground-floor commercial space of 231 m², a first-floor apartment of 123 m², an independent area on the floor of 42 m², which is used as an auxiliary space but can be converted into an apartment as well as two storage areas on the ground floor of 11 m² and 7 m².

You can make improvements to the building but the original roof has been replaced and there are no obvious structural problems. The ground floor is two large commercial spaces that have been joined together. They have a large height and if you use them for residential purposes you can have an excellent result. As was common in old urban houses, the upper space consists of a central corridor that is connected to all the spaces and ends in a large balcony at the back.

The main advantage of the property is the large plot, which has a building ratio of 1 for up to three floors. It has a good, rectangular shape with average dimensions of 16 m along the frontage * 46 m depth while the existing building has been placed close to the frontage so that you can add any additional construction in the background. If you remove the auxiliary spaces, then if you keep the existing building you can add 4 to 5 comfortable apartments with a total area of up to 340 m² at the back. The area has low building and to the south the views are impressive towards the ridge of the White Mountains.
