Athenian Majesty

In the heart of Athens’ Historic Center, next to the Acropolis Rock and Museum, in the aristocratic neighborhood of Plaka, stands a rare neoclassical mansion, a timeless masterpiece built in 1911. A stone’s throw from the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Acropolis, Syntagma Square, and the National Garden, this architectural gem is officially designated as a preserved historic building and holds a valid reconstruction permit until 2027.

This distinguished neoclassical residence, once home to Athenian high society, spans 231.59 sq.m., with an additional 104 sq.m. on the lower level (totaling 335.59 sq.m.). The lower level, with a separate entrance  next to the main entry, offers privacy and versatility, ideal for a guest suite, service quarters, a secondary kitchen, and a bathroom.

Through its grand double doors, guests are welcomed into the elevated ground floor (94.79 sq.m.), reached by a few marble steps. The soaring 3.7-meter-high ceilings, majestic wooden staircase, and elegant columns define an atmosphere of sophistication and grandeur. After renovation, the space will embrace an art nouveau aesthetic, creating refined seating and dining areas. A cozy fireplace adds warmth and character, while the kitchen opens onto a charming courtyard at the rear of the house.

The first floor (104.28 sq.m.) features a magnificent master bedroom, bathed in natural light, with large windows and a balcony. This spacious retreat boasts an impressive en-suite bathroom. Two additional, well-appointed bedrooms on this level share a stylish bathroom, offering comfort and elegance.

The second floor houses a delightful penthouse space (32.52 sq.m.), perfect for a study or casual lounge, leading to an expansive terrace. Here, under the endless blue Athenian sky by day or the twinkling stars on warm summer nights, the city unfolds like a living museum, blending past and present in a mesmerizing dance of history and culture.

This exceptional residence is a rare offering, appealing to both Greek and international buyers—families seeking a home with soul, history lovers enchanted by the legacy of Athens, or professionals eager to be immersed in the city’s vibrant pulse. Plaka is not just a neighborhood; it is a living tapestry woven from ancient Greek, Roman, Ottoman, and modern influences—a place where the essence of civilization breathes through every stone and every street.

For those who yearn to own a piece of history and experience the heartbeat of Athens in its purest form, this neoclassical jewel awaits.
