Here's a beautiful traditionally built home, with a breathtaking sea view and plenty of outdoor areas to get the full summer experience!
The home
Divided into three levels, the total amount of living space of the property is 166 sqm. The ground floor measures 67 sqm and features the living and dining area, the kitchen, a guest WC, and a storage room. The first floor, slightly more spacious than the ground floor, is 82 sqm and has a second living room with a fireplace and access to a veranda, a study room, a bathroom, and a bedroom. The top floor is a 17 sqm second bedroom.
Arches and vaulted ceilings, characteristics of the architecture of the medieval settlements, are distinguished throughout this beautiful home. The floors are made of tile or wood, while the frames are wooden with double glazing and mosquito screens. The house has autonomous heating (radiators) with electricity and air conditioning in the bedrooms. It was fully renovated in 2008 with top-quality material and much attention to detail.
Outdoors
You can choose from many pergola-shaded areas to enjoy a quiet moment of rest while looking at the surrounding nature and the sea. The house stands on a plot of 82 sqm, and it is for sale together with an independent, neighboring plot of 222 sqm, currently a garden, where more buildable square meters are available.
Location
This home is part of the famous Mastic villages on Chios; a series of fortified villages built in the 14th century. Some are very impressive with their intricately painted houses. This so-called 'Mastichochoria' is an area well known for the production of mastic; the mastic tree's hardened resin, only harvested on Chios. It is a significant part of the local economy, and to protect this throughout history, the villages were built out of sight from the sea and surrounded by high walls. The central tower had no door at street level but was entered by ladders which were used as bridges from the rooftops and then pulled up. It's an impressive sight to see, and mastic is a product widely used in cooking, having also a number of health benefits. Additionally, the tasty liqueur Mastiha and various sweets are produced from the mastic resin, also referred to as "tears of the gods".
