Single-family detached house 165 m², Kallithea, Rhodes

In the traditional village of Koskinou is this authentic stone-built house, built at the beginning of the 20th century, with unchanged architectural elements of the local etiquette tradition. It has two spacious rooms, dominated by the characteristic vaulted arch in the middle, which gives authenticity but also unique safety to the structure. To the left of the room is the elevated bed, the so-called 'Namusia'. Two entrances lead into courtyards of 20m2 and then into the kitchen. The mosaic of black and white pebbles, a technique known as 'hochlakia', decorates the floor, inside and out, while the traditional plates adorning the walls form a completely authentic, traditional house. Ideal for peace and quiet, but also to explore the picturesque labyrinthine alleys with colourful houses as well as the terracotta pots overflowing with vibrant flowers and shrubs, which compose a romantic setting in an old neighborhood. It is minutes away from restaurants and grocery stores, while it is only 6 kilometers from Rhodes town. *The Energy Performance Certificate is currently being issued. 7km southeast of Rhodes town. Unique features: Built in an amphitheatrical manner, Koskinou has developed well beyond the traditional settlement it originally was and is one of the most important medieval villages of the island. Additionally, the renowned Kalithea Springs known from the days of knights can be found a few kilometers from the village which is a popular tourist attraction surrounded by the crystal waters of the Aegean. On the outskirts of the village, the buildings are more modern; this is where wealthy people from the town of Rhodes have been having homes built in recent years, attracted by the village's short distance from town. Accessibility: A regular bus service running all year round from Rhodes town. Investment potential: Here, outstanding residential areas with exclusive real estate can be found, which in some cases boast prices that can reach twice the usual market average. Traditional houses in the old village center are also very sought after but depending on their condition, their prices can vary a lot.
