Single-family detached house Μονεμβασιά, Center, Monemvasia

Laconia Prefecture, Monemvasia. A traditional single-family house is offered for sale in one of the most enchanting and magical spots of the Mediterranean. There's no point in mentioning the usual features that accompany real estate, such as the year of construction or the exact size, because here, the value is not measured in square meters. Instead, the uniqueness of the property is highlighted by its location within the historic castle town of Monemvasia. This house is part of a larger picture, a piece of living history that dates back 8,000 years. Entering the gate of the castle town, you step into a world full of history and mystery. On your right, the cobblestone alleys lead you to Portelo and the beach, while on the left, the uphill path takes you to the upper town. Monemvasia is built on a rock within the sea, overlooking the endless blue of the Aegean, absorbing the cultural heritage of four civilizations—Laconians, Franks, Venetians, and Ottomans. Each of them left their mark on the castle, always respecting the architecture and symbolism of the place. The stories hidden in the alleys and squares blend the past with the present, creating a unique interplay between history and modern luxury. In the upper town, the Venetian mansions and Agia Sofia, one of the rock's most important landmarks, offer you a breathtaking view. Inside the town, you will never be disturbed by any motor vehicle, as only pedestrian movement is allowed. The house is located 60 meters from the main gate, on the alley leading to the lower town, which adds significant value to the property. Opening the door takes you to a warm space where history, luxury, and nobility coexist harmoniously. The interior decoration, with antiques, handmade furniture, expensive carpets, and high-quality appliances, highlights the historicity of the space. The layout of the house is designed for use as a short-term rental, offering a unique combination of old and new. On the first level, you find the dining room, the bathroom with a jacuzzi, and a bedroom with a desk. The staircase leads you to the upper floor, where you will find another bedroom and a living room with a fireplace. The balcony overlooking the castle town and the sea offers a unique relaxation spot. The kitchen, a large table, and another bedroom in a niche are located on the lower level, while the full bathroom and separate entrance make this space completely autonomous. In summary, the house spans three levels with a total area of 150 sq.m. Heating and cooling are provided via A/C, while the electrical and plumbing systems have been fully renovated. Wood and stone dominate throughout, giving the space a unique character. The property includes SMEG appliances, WiFi, two bathrooms, one with a jacuzzi, and wooden frames with double glazing.
