Односемейная вилла 59 m², Maleme, Platanias

Set in a small complex of 4 individual houses, this charming 2-bedroom property with a stone paved courtyard and private pool is located just outside the traditional village of Maleme and yet within walking distance from shops and beach! With a small easy to maintain garden and easy access, this property is ideal for all year round living or as a holiday home. INTERIOR A gate opens into a private walled garden laid with stone paving. The house style is based on a traditional Cretan village design, with stone-corner features, arched patio doors, wooden beamed ceilings throughout, stable style entrance door and a tiled roof. The property is laid out on 2 levels. The main entrance opens into the bright and light living area with a wooden sloped ceiling. Two arched patio doors giving to the courtyard provide a constant flow of light in the house. To the left is the acajou-coloured kitchen stretching over the length of the wall and equipped with electrical appliances including the washing machine and an additional fridge/freezer. There is also a small kitchen table with 4 chairs. To the right is the living area with an arched patio door opening to the pool area. Still on the same floor is the main bedroom equipped with a free-standing wooden wardrobe, a double bed, reversible air conditioning, and a patio door opening to a private exterior courtyard. Next to the bedroom is the fully tiled shower room with a walk-in shower, decorated with blue and white tiles. From the kitchen area, an iron staircase with wooden steps leads to the spacious mezzanine area with the second bedroom, equipped with 2 single beds, wooden floor and a free-standing double door wardrobe. A glass door opens to the north facing balcony with outdoor furniture and offering a view over the surrounding olive groves and a little sea view. The house is equipped with 2 reversible air conditioning units on the ground floor and has wooden ceilings throughout. EXTERIOR A green wooden gate opens into the beautiful courtyard with a private mosaic-tiled pool and a Jacuzzi. The entire courtyard is stone paved, and the pool was recently retiled. There is a pool cover, outdoor furniture and a big umbrella, thus providing a shady spot to sit and enjoy reading, dining or more. Also, there is a useful shed to store tools etc and a big, covered area at the side of the house. Access to the area is either from the street or from the garden. It could be a parking space, but the current owners use it for storage. Plants and bushes give a colourful note and the huge bougainvillea above the entrance door is a real eye catcher. The property is walled for more privacy and is easy accessible. THE AREA The property is ideally located within walking distance from shops, amenities and the beach at the village of Maleme. Maleme is a quiet village with a long stretch of beach backed by tavernas, cafes, bars and tourist shops.
