Single-family detached house 210 m², Kardiani, Tinos

Tinos, at historic Kardiani, one of the most charming villages of the Cyclades, a remarkable residence of high aesthetics. A unique property incorporating both traditional and contemporary design elements. Solidly built mostly of marble stone, it was fully completed in 2006 and meticulously maintained in 2023. The residence was built with faith and respect in preserving the character and architecture of the historic village. Priority was given to quality and simplicity, in accordance with the Cycladic tradition. The emotional approach, love and admiration for the island and its people is obvious. It seems to be connected to the soul of the place, to be a part of it, through the embedded rock on its northern side. It looks as if it has always been there, with its stone construction, traditional arches, roofs, lintels and all the elements that define its identity. At the same time, comfortable spaces were created, so that they can operate independently, serving modern needs and comforts. The property is two hundred and ten square meters on three floors, consisting of two kitchens, three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a spacious, unusually large living room of over forty square meters. The best local craftsmen worked and natural, local materials were used, such as stone and marble from the wider area. The ground floor includes two large rooms, a bathroom and an outdoor kitchen, so that they can function as a separate guest house. It is spacious and bright, with plenty of windows that welcome the light of the Aegean. Also, a stunning view to the setting sun plunging into the sea, as well as to at least fifteen neighboring islands. Great emphasis was placed on enjoying the impressive view from the imposing altitude of two hundred and fifty meters, with many outdoor spaces on all levels, and the roof terrace dominating. A unique residence among the picturesque marble-paved cobblestones of the village. Although in the heart of the village, it maintains its autonomy, in a peaceful location almost next to a spring. A rarely available, historic property, ideal for permanent or holiday use, but also successful touristic use.
