Property Information
An opportunity to buy a lovely house, renovated in 2004 in a small traditional village fully furnished. This would make an ideal investment to rent out for holidaymakers, to buy as a holiday home or as a permanent residence ready to move into as is.
Set in the village of Pines it is approx 4km from the seaside resort of Elounda on the north east coast of Crete where you will find beaches, bars, restaurants and shops and approx 45 minutes from the main airport in Heraklion.
The property offers ground and first floor accommodation with parking, roof terrace, patio and garden areas.
The house itself is walled all the way round and in passing through the entrance gate, down steps passed your own 2 olive trees, there is a level patio area with stone seat under the olive trees and a shady corner with pergola, table and chairs, the perfect spot for drinks, lunch and good conversation. A few steps lead down to the next level and here there is a planted area with established shrubs and looks down onto the lower level garden with a producing grape vine, orange tree, fig trees and shrubs. There is a beautiful jasmine bush which flowers 2 or 3 times a year with thousand of flowers giving a glorious aroma as you pass. From here you find the entrance door to the house. All windows and doors are double glazed with shutters.
The accommodation comprises on the ground floor, entrance room/dining room, seperate kitchen, 3rd bedroom/utility room, downstairs shower room & wc, large lounge. First floor offers 2 bedrooms, landinf and shower room & wc. Both shower rooms have been recently re-tiled. On passing through the front door, you enter into what is currently used as a dining room, with table and 6 chairs. Off of this is a seperate kitchen with hob, cooker, washing machine fridge, sideboard and ground level cupboards. Also leading off from the dining room is the downstairs shower room & wc and the 3rd bedroom/utility room. It is currently used as a utility room and has ample wall shelving (not fixed so easily removed) storage cupboard and chest freezer.
Double doors lead from the dining room into the lounge - an impressive light and airy room with a high ceiling (3 meters) and patio doors at the far end. There is a 3 seater leather sofa, 2 leather chairs, wall units, coffee table and computer cupboard. There is also scope, because of the space, to build a mezzanine area. Something else to consider is that unlike with a brand new property, because this is a renovated property, it has a 50 ton water sterna behind the lounge (fully water proofed) and if desired, this can easily be drained and converted to an additional room or extension to the lounge. Currently the sterna collects rain water and is used to irrigate the garden.
Wooden stairs lead from the dining room to the first floor where there are 2 bedrooms with wardrobes and storage units and 2 double beds. The second shower room & wc is located between the 2 bedrooms on the landing.
