This beautifully renovated traditional Cretan home has become a landmark in the village of Kritsa. Purchased by a well-known Danish artist and his wife in 2006, the old property underwent a remarkable transformation into a work of art. Following two years of renovations, the home became ready for occupancy. Now, after 18 years, the time has come for the property to be sold. Everything visible within the property is included: paintings, decorative items, furniture, appliances, linen, cutlery, and crockery.
Spanning 180m2, this amazing home boasts three bedrooms (one externally accessed and independent) along with two bathrooms. It features a spacious kitchen, dining room, two living areas, and a second smaller kitchen adjacent to one of the bedrooms.
Upon entry through a beautiful archway adorned with several concrete statues, a charming courtyard leads to the main house. Inside, a spacious living room welcomes visitors with a magnificent large fireplace. Adjacent to it is another living area or office, followed by the main bedroom, which includes an ensuite bathroom with toilet, shower, and sink.
Ascending the stairs from the living area/office leads to the top floor, where a large fully equipped and fitted kitchen awaits, along with a beautiful dining room. Accessible from here, a sizable veranda equipped with a gas cooker and a kitchenette offers exquisite views overlooking the entire village and the sea beyond. The terrace offers a panoramic vista and includes numerous plants and flowers, such as olive trees, lemon trees, pomegranates, and cumquat trees, all creating an uninterrupted scenic spectacle.
Another staircase from the main lounge leads to a lower floor, where another double bedroom and a living area with an additional kitchen and bathroom can be found. This part of the house is also independently accessible from another entrance with its own courtyard, making it ideal for guests.
The third bedroom is also independent, with installed pipes for adding another ensuite bathroom if desired.
An open shed includes a comprehensive array of tools, all included with the property. Additionally, the main room features an AC inverter, while most rooms are equipped with ceiling fans. A beautiful wood stove adequately heats the house, supplemented by electric boilers for hot water.
The house, constructed of stone, retains all its original traditional Cretan features, with meticulously restored ceilings and wooden floors. The lower levels feature fully tiled floors, while the original chestnut floors upstairs are in excellent condition, adding elegance, character, and warmth to the ambiance.
