This property is the perfect renovation project! It is a lovely 2 story village house of about 134m2 on a plot of about 133m2 with 2 courtyards, a large terrace and space for a garage, which is a huge advantage in a village where parking spaces are a problem due to the narrow streets.
It is situated on a quiet, picturesque lane, in walking distance to the town square of Neapolis, where one can find all necessary services, banks, retail shops, coffee shops and restaurants as well as the main bus station which offers a regular bus service to Heraklion, Agios Nikolaos and beyond. The town is lively in both the summer and the winter and is the perfect location for a holiday or permanent home.
The house has the potential to be renovated into a comfortable 2 – 3 bedroom house plus guest suite.
Upon entering from the outer door, one steps into a lovely courtyard with a large lemon tree that produces lemons all year round. There are three wooden doors, one ahead, and on each side. The left door leads to a storage area of about 16m2 (this can be converted into a garage for parking) and the right door leads to an area of 40m2 divided into a living room and bedroom with access to the back courtyard.
The door ahead opens into a living room, cellar and kitchen of about 38m2 in total. There is also a door in the kitchen that leads out into the courtyard as well as a traditional . From the living room, one can take the wooden staircase up to the 2 comfortably sized bedrooms (total size of about 38m2) There are also doors in each of the rooms that lead out onto different terraces on both ends of the house, with fabulous village and countryside views.
There are large windows in the front and back of each of the rooms throughout the house, giving a lot of light – something not so common in old village houses, which usually have few windows, usually small.
The town of Neapolis used to be the capital of the Lasithi prefecture and is only 15 kms away from Agios Nikolaos and its beaches. It is the perfect location to live the authentic village life yet not be far away from towns, beaches, their facilities and services.
