A unique opportunity in the old town of Rethymno – ID 1622042

A unique opportunity in the old town of Rethymno The title could easily cover the whole distance between a lighting switch in our head and the button of a house purchase. It’s not an opportunity you come across easily. Even more so if the house happens to be in excellent condition, perfectly preserved, and big enough to fit a family or your business endeavors. This 177 m2, two-level traditional house of the late 1800s is situated in one of the prettiest areas of the old Venetian harbor, on a stone paved park, close to one of the main entry axes to the old port from the west. On the west side, the building is also adjacent to the municipal football stadium, and to the north, neighbors the impressive square of the Rethymno County council. The surrounding area is packed with buildings of the Venetian era, perfectly preserved, most of which have been recently restored and repurposed into tourist accommodations. The ground level, covering a surface of 88,43 m2 is accessed by 3 doors and comprises a spacious living room, the kitchen, and 2 WCs. One of the doors directs you to a small hallway reception and to a beautiful wooden staircase that leads you to the upper floor. Because of that, the ground floor could be rented out and used as a café-restaurant, which of course is absolutely compatible with the popularity of this street, especially during the summer months. The first floor of the house includes 2 ensuite bedrooms and 1 lovely patio. Lined with a series of 8 large, window-covered openings on top, the upper floor is also airy and bright. The bedrooms have wooden flooring and ceilings, and their furniture and decoration are reminiscent of the old manor houses' interior style. This property can easily work as a family house especially if all floors are included but it can also work as a great investment opportunity due to its unique location and the evergreen appeal of the Venetian harbor to tourists. A public parking area is just 200m away and the sandy beach of Koumbes is about 1km away. The Old Town of Rethymno is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Greece featuring a mix of rich architecture and history, cultural influences, and styles ranging from the Venetian to Ottoman occupation. The old Venetian walls blend harmonically with orthodox and catholic churches, mosques, majestic mansions of Venetian architecture, arches, and cobbled paths which create a magical atmosphere, reminiscent of the city’s turbulent “yet glorious” past.
