A uniquely modern small two-story house is now available for sale in the traditional village of Pano Elounda, Crete.
It once served as the dwelling for a donkey downstairs and a loom upstairs, where, according to villagers, a lady named Anastasia wove during the latter part of the last century. The current owners purchased this old traditional property and lovingly transformed it into a distinctive holiday home, where they have spent most summers for the past 17 years. With the assistance of their architect, they converted it into a charming residence with a terrace boasting a breathtaking view of the entire Elounda bay.
Upon entry, one is greeted by a vibrant kitchen, bathed in light streaming from the upper room through glass floors. To the right, there is a compact wet room and toilet adorned with colorful mosaic walls. A wooden staircase, concealing some storage spaces, ascends to the top floor. Here, one encounters a large door leading to a mall wooden balcony that offers village views, and a room serving as both a living area and bedroom, featuring a foldable double bed that transforms into an attractive couch.
From this level, a metal staircase leads up to the terrace through a remote-controlled glass hatch. This terrace is ideal for savoring coffee at sunrise and cocktails at sunset. Despite its modernity, the house retains all original stone features, with walls reinforced and the renovation executed to a superb standard.
Introducing a captivating blend of tradition and modernity, nestled in the heart of the enchanting village of Pano Elounda, Crete, this unique two-story dwelling unveils a rich history and contemporary elegance.
