Authentic Heritage House – Koroni ref.343: Located in the heart of Koroni, walking distance to the beach and the shops, Architectural heritage, Authentic elements, Sea views, 3-4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, (Garden & Parking Area).

This wonderful old house in Koroni deserves a different approach to its description and evaluation. It is one of the few examples of traditional architecture that remains "alive" and is in use almost unchanged over time. It is less about size, space and location and more about architectural tradition and history. Thus, to see the true charm and value of this property, a brief reference must be made to the past and evolution of Koroni and its architectural elements.

Koroni experienced significant development from the 13th to the 16th century under the rule of the Venetians with its strong castle and commercial port. Later it came under the domination of the Turks and finally the French (19th century) without losing its economic importance as a center of trade and handicrafts. With the passage of time the castle was deserted, however, outside its walls, the architectural forms of the past were preserved in the later constructions that are preserved to this day, of course adapted to the current living conditions, structure and aesthetic perceptions. Thus, the Venetian tradition coexists with the local architectural style.
The old houses of Koroni are divided into two general categories. The Manor – Bourgeois Houses that are located mainly in the coastal zone of the city and the Labour houses that are built on the hillside of the small town.

The house is located in the seaside zone of the settlement and it is a typical example of a traditional house where the decorative Venetian elements meet the simple lines of Greek traditional architecture. The magnificent decorated balcony is the most distinctive and beautiful element of the house with its curved iron supports, decorated railings and delicate metal elements rising high above the balcony door. Decoration also exists below the edge of the roof where it joins the outer wall of the house and below the windows. The ground floor doors are very simple, made of timber and tall, with metal handmade decorated skylights at the end.

The house extends over two floors in a classic rectangular and symmetrical construction with a narrow frontage to the street. The upper floor is the living space while the ground floor houses the storage areas.

The interior layout is simple and practical. An internal wooden staircase leads to the salon on the first floor and to a corridor where the bedrooms are located to the right and left of the corridor. Over the years, extensions were made to the upper floor to add spaces that meet more modern needs. Thus, on the upper floor we have a salon that extends to the traditional balcony, an office area - single bedroom, two bedrooms and a large living room with a double bed, sofa and dining table. Also, in the modern extension of the building there is a kitchen and two bathrooms.

The ground floor is divided into two storage rooms that can be converted into living area.

The owners have tried to keep most of the original elements of the house in good condition and at the same time have adapted it to modern needs without changing the authentic style. Limited interventions have been made with absolute respect to the tradition and the special character of the house.
Of course, there is room to make many extensive interventions and improvements but always with a view to the careful preservation and continuation of the historical heritage.
